February is Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month!
Handsome Harvey is available for adoption at Salinas Animal Services!
February is Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month! With the Lunar Year of the Rabbit beginning on Feb. 3, we hope that this is an especially lucky month for the bunnies waiting in our shelters for their loving new homes!
Here are some upcoming events:
February 5: “Using the Art and Science of Behavior to Enrich Your Relationship with Animals”, by Dr. Susan Brown
This all-day class at the House Rabbit Society Rabbit Center in Richmond, CA, will give you the tools you need to have a more rewarding relationship with all the animals in your life–large or small, mammal, bird, reptile, or fish. Whether you want to modify unwanted behavior, help your pet become more outgoing, or start an exercise program, this class will show you how! Through a combination of lecture, video, in-class problem-solving exercises, and games, you will learn:
* the principals of behavior and how all animals learn
* how to develop strategies for changing animal behavior and preventing future unwanted behavior
* the basics of positive, effective, and enriching training techniques that can be used with any species of animal
