Rabbits

June's Booth

Our goal for June’s Booth is to increase the quality-of-life for house rabbits, while decreasing the number of rabbits arriving at the shelter. June Booth is a House Rabbit Society-Educator, who has been very instrumental in educating our community, as well as the Louisiana SPCA staff, in the handling and care of rabbits.

The first question to ask yourself: Are You a Rabbit Person?

After the above question is answered, it is only a matter of education to insure your rabbit has the highest quality of life possible:

House Rabbits
The rabbit’s biology and behavior is poorly understood by the majority of owners and this has lead to numerous problems and a steady flow of rabbits arriving at the shelter.

Rabbits as Pets
Rabbits make excellent pets, and offer a wonderful alternative where it may be impossible to keep dogs or cats.

Rabbits... What to Know (pdf)
Those adorable rabbits are often bought on impulse as Easter Bunnies or as “starter pets” and often end up abandoned when the excitement wears off and the responsibilities begin! Here’s a quick FYI to help you decide if a rabbit is right for you.

The “Make Mine Chocolate!™” Mission

Each year, unwanted, former Easter rabbits fill local rabbit rescues and humane societies. The goal of the “Make Mine Chocolate!™” campaign is to break the cycle of purchase and relinquishment by educating the public about the responsibilities involved in keeping a companion rabbit before a purchase is made. Visit www.makeminechocolate.org to learn how YOU can make a difference!
