MD/DC/NoVA House Rabbit Society AdoptionApplication

Please answer the following questions before deciding on your potential rabbit. We try to ensure the best possible match between animal and adopter. Remember that this is a lifetime commitment. You will be asked to sign a legal contract when adopting one of our rabbits and you must pay a fee of $60.00 for members and $78 for non-members ($18 is sent in for National HRS membership on your behalf, local membership of $8 is included for first-time adopters). This fee includes spaying or neutering.The fees go directly to our local HRS chapter to help pay for upkeep and medical care. Keep in mind the following points: Please understand that the rabbits available for adoption are all housed in foster homes. We do not have a shelter facility. We rely on the kindness of volunteers to care for and socialize our foster rabbits .Sometimes, if a rabbit has been fostered for a long period of time, a strong bond forms between the foster parent and the animal. The foster parent has the final determination in whether or not the rabbit will be relinquished into your custody.
