-Bite History: No
-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes, a neuter will be provided by WHS
-Additional information:
Patches the rabbit came to WHS as a stray, so we don't know much about his history. We think he definitely belonged to someone because he appears to be litter box trained (for the most part). We're not sure how he ended up outside, but Patches is now ready to find his permanent and responsible indoor home. Patches will need a nice roomy enclosure in his new home. People often under-estimate how much space rabbits will need, so we strongly encourage all potential adopters do their research before adopting. To ensure his enclosure is appropriate, WHS requires proof of enclosure in the form of a photo before adoptions are finalized. Patches is an energetic and social bunny who is going to LOVE to hop around the house and spend time with his person. He will need daily time outside his enclosure to get all his hops out.

If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
