Almond - Rhinelander and Harlequin Rabbit for Adoption in Buena Vista, Colorado

Age: 2-3 months
Adoption Fee: $25

Hi! I'm Almond. I came to the shelter as a stray but would love to be a house rabbit as the outside world is lonely and scary. I am able to be handled, held and cuddled. I enjoy activities like exploring, chew toys, and getting pet. Did you know that rabbits can be trained to use a litter box, fetch and sit? I'd be willing to try to learn if you need a hobby this upcoming winter! Swing by the shelter and meet me today!
