Ginger

This pretty rabbit is Ginger! She was most likely born in the wild and was a baby when she was caught by our rabbit foster, Katie, after a 2 week game of Catch Me! She'll have a wellness check and will be spayed & microchipped before she goes to her forever home. Ginger is very sweet and loves life in her foster home where she likes lounging around & playing with her pink treat ball. She's adorable, soft & cuddly and her ears have a charming personality of their own! Ginger is a joy to hold, easy to love, and will be a great pet! She's growing quickly and is going to be a big, cuddly bunny!  * Rabbits are great to have as pets, and can live to be 10-12 years old! Their teeth always grow, so sometimes their exact age is hard to determine. All of our rabbits are indoor pets and a large dog crate is perfect for housing them. They can be trained to use litter boxes. Rabbits need time out of the cage in an area that has been bunny-proofed as they like to chew. Feeding them requires Timothy hay 24/7 and pellets (no seeds or colorful pieces) to supplement their diet. Our Adoption Process: *You must complete an adoption application before meeting an animal. *We do all checks on references and vet checks. *Please let your references know we will be calling. *Once approved, you can set up an appointment to meet any of the animals at the Granite City Animal Control, or the ones in foster homes. *There will be a meet and greet and then a home visit. *After that you will sign an adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. $85 for Rabbits / $80 for Cats / $100 Kittens / $150 for Dogs / $200 for Puppies Six Months & Under The rabbit adoption application is located here: (same as the cat app) https://form.jotform.com/32098523410145 All our animals are completely vetted with the required vaccinations, microchipped and spayed/neutered before leaving the rescue. Including: Cats will have FIV/FeLV testing Dogs will have Heartworm testing Rabbits will have a wellness check ______________________________________________________________ Many times we also get feral cats or semi-friendly cats (can be petted but doesn't like to be held) needing barn homes. You will need to provide shelter and food. There are not any adoption fees for barn cats (donations are accepted) but you will still need to fill out the cat adoption form. Just list the number of barn cats you are wanting. ______________________________________________________________ We are a small foster based rescue but some of our animals are residing at the Granite City Animal Control in Madison County, Illinois until they can be adopted, fostered or pulled by another rescue. Pound Pets Inc Rescue can always use more fosters. If you are interested in fostering, the foster application is located here: https://form.jotform.com/50784968756173 ______________________________________________________________ Pound Pets volunteers cleans the animal control building, we are the caregivers for the animals brought in. Once they come through the door, they become our responsibility. We photograph all animals and post to the Pound Pets Facebook page. We provide them clean kennels, beds, blankets, toys, treats, outside play time, walks and human interaction. We try to comfort the scared, keep the high-energy ones exercised and provide plenty of love and affection to make their time at animal control as less stressful as possible. Sometimes they get reclaimed by their families and sometimes they don't. If they don't it is our responsibility to find the adopters, fosters or rescues to save them from euthanasia. We get in sick and injured animals as well. They do not sit in their kennels or cages needing veterinary care. Once we see the need for care they are taken to the vet. Sometimes the illness or injury is minor and the city will cover the bill, Other times when it's not, we do. We do all of this on our own dime. We buy the food, the beds, the blankets, the toys, and all the other things that go into care for the animals. Sometimes things are donated and that is wonderful!! We pay the medical bills that the city doesn't. As with most animal controls, there is a limit on what they will do or cover. At Pound Pets, there is no limit. Broken Bones, Surgery, Parvo, Heartworm, etc., if the animal has a chance the animal is given that chance. This is not a shelter but an animal control. Pound Pets Inc Rescue can always use more volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering, the volunteer application is located here: https://form.jotform.com/40307066949156 ______________________________________________________________ We are always looking for licensed rescues to pull cats (including FIV+ cats) and dogs from the Granite City Animal Control in Madison County, Illinois. It's a very small animal control and strays keep coming in. There are no fees for a rescue to pull.
