City Rabbits!

2008_6_ashes.jpgDid you know that the City of Chicago's Animal Care and Control also has rabbits for adoption? Ashes is one of six eight-month-old male rabbits in the city's cat adoption room, and he's available for adoption right away.

As we learned with Hyacinth, rabbits are easy to train and can not only learn to come when called, they can cohabitate with other household pets. Because they are curious and sometimes restless, it's important to "rabbit-proof" your home. That means making sure they can't get at electrical cords or wires that might get chewed. In fact, the human that posted Ashes also put together this nifty webpage explaining how to make rabbit cages for your home that are comfortable and spacious.

ACC has lots of great pets that are just waiting to be adopted. If Ashes isn't what you're looking for in a pet, pay a visit to 27th and Western and find your perfect pet.
