FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(YOUR SHELTER) CELEBRATES THIS JULY AS THE FIRST ANNUAL
ADOPT-A-RESCUED-RABBIT MONTH
You're Nobody 'til Some Bunny Loves You!

(CITY, DATE) - This July (YOUR SHELTER), the American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), and Petfinder.com have joined forces
to celebrate the first annual Adopt-a-Rescued-Rabbit month. Rabbits are the
most popular small mammal in American households. Unfortunately, these quiet,
affectionate creatures are the third mostly likely animal to be dropped off at
the nation's shelters. Tiny bunnies bought as Easter presents or springtime
birthday gifts grow up and get cast aside when their novelty wears off. Those
who surrender or abandon their rabbits will miss out on 8 - 10 years of bunny
hijinks.

The domestic rabbit is a gentle soul with a wicked sense of fun. They leap and
skitter about investigating everything in their environment. Weighing in at 2 -
20 lbs., rabbits can be trained to use a litter box and respond to their name.
In order to fully enjoy their playful personality, daily freedom to explore
rabbit-proofed areas of the home and to cuddle up to their human family is
strongly recommended.

While many think of rabbits as children's pets, more and more adult homes are
discovering rabbits to be the perfect fit. As crepuscular creatures (most
active at dusk and dawn), they are on the same schedule as many working
households. And as quiet, light-footed beings, they make excellent neighbors in
thin-walled apartments and townhouses.

If you think a rabbit would make an excellent addition to your household, (YOUR
GROUP) and the ASPCA encourage you to "Make Adoption Your First Option"™. To
locate a homeless rabbit near you or learn more about their care, visit the
website of Petfinder.com, the ASPCA's online adoption partner at
www.petfinder.com or contact (YOUR SHELTER).

Remember, You're Nobody 'til Some Bunny Loves You!
