Lyrah (Bonded with Fifi) Rabbit English Spot & Lionhead Mix Gaithersburg, MD

LYRAH AND FIFI BEAN ARE A BONDED PAIR AND MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER!

Lyrah (formerly known as Rosie rescued by Friends of Rabbits) is an extremely curious, playful, fun and intelligent girl! She might be a little cautious in her new place, but once she warms up, she is your best friend!

Lyrah LOVES to watch TV (especially Harry Potter, Wednesday Adams, and the Simpsons). She also loves exploring and playing with her chew toys, cardboard boxes and play tunnels.

Lyrah is a great hay eater, preferably Oxbow Orchard Grass hay from the pet store or Amazon. She also enjoys cilantro and parsley as well as a small piece of banana, blueberries, and strawberries as treats!

The most wonderful thing about Lyra though is that she is a proud and loving mom of Fifi and the two of them have been inseparable since her birth. It's adorable to see how much they love each other. They are both lionhead rabbits so they need to be brushed at least once a week.

Both girls have fantastic litter box habits and have been spayed and vaccinated against (RH(D)V2. They are in excellent health!

Lyra and her little girl Fifi are excited to find a new loving home where they can free roam or live in a large space with lots of exercise opportunities.

If you are interested in adopting Lyrah and Fifi, please fill out the application at friendsofrabbits.org/adoptionform and someone will call or email you to schedule an interview. Their adoption fee is $150 (for both) plus a mandatory $50 RHD vaccine fee per rabbit.

Lyrah and Fifi are in a foster home in Gaithersburg, MD.

ABOUT FRIENDS OF RABBITS
Friends of Rabbits is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue operating in the greater DC-metro area. We take rabbits at risk of euthanasia from shelters in Maryland, DC and Virginia. We also rescue abandoned and neglected rabbits and assist with large confiscation cases. We provide foster homes and veterinary care for our rabbits, have them spayed/neutered and find them new forever homes through our adoption programs.
Please note: We are not licensed to handle wildlife.

Come Meet Our Pets...
We have adoption events multiple times a month. Events take place at headquarters located in Columbia, MD and once a month in Fairfax, VA. We also have regularly scheduled events in local pet stores throughout the metropolitan region.

Our Adoption Process...
Prior to adoption, we ask that people fill out an application: www.friendsofrabbits.org/adoptionform

1. The adopter must be a responsible adult, which is at least 18 years old. If a family adopts the rabbit, the primary caregiver must be an adult or a responsible older teen. Younger children may do the work necessary to care for the rabbit under the daily supervision of an adult. All adults in the family must agree on adopting the rabbit.

2. We do not adopt our rabbits out as classroom pets. Exceptions would be adoption to the teacher who may bring the rabbit into the classroom on a regular basis.

3. Rabbits are social animals. The adopted rabbit(s) must live indoors in an appropriate size space where they will receive daily interaction with the family. The best possible space would be freedom in a rabbit proofed room. If that is not possible, a dog exercise pen with rabbit safe flooring works well. Other options include a large dog crate or a roomy cage. The best cages are at least 42 to 48 inches long by 24 inches wide. The 24 inch width allows for use of the widest and deepest jumbo litter boxes, which work well for most rabbits. A custom space can also be constructed using shelving material. Caged rabbits need daily exercise time outside the cage.

4. If you are renting your home, please have written consent from your landlord before you adopt.

5. For new adopters, we conduct an interview to make sure that the rabbit will be going to a safe environment.

6. When they are ill, rabbits require a veterinarian that specializes in exotic animals. Be aware that exotic veterinarians can be considerably more expensive than one for your cat or dog. Plan vet visits into your budget accordingly.

7. If you are looking to adopt a companion for your existing rabbit, your rabbit must be spayed or neutered prior to any introductions.

8. The final step to the adoption process is filling out a contract, which is specific to Friends of Rabbits. The cost to adopt a rabbit from us is $90 for a single rabbit and $150 for a pair. The adoption fees include a goodie bag with rabbit care information, necessities, toys and a coupon for discounted rabbit supplies, and cover the cost of the rabbit's spay/neuter. As of January 1, 2022, there is also a mandatory $50 RHD vaccine fee per rabbit.
