Update on Mandinka, a young rabbit transferred from a Baltimore shelter on May 27 due to what looked like an eye infection. It turned out that she actually had an abscess in her upper jaw that compromised the nasal passage and tear duct. In the surgery to remove it yesterday, she also had several teeth extracted. Mandinka remains her perky self and even had a slice of banana this morning. However this means that Mandinka will likely be a special needs rabbit; her teeth will grow unevenly and she will need regular dental work.

Mandinka's medical expenses to date have totalled over $700. If you would like to make a donation to defray Mandinka's veterinary bill, please use PayPal ([email protected]) or text BUNNY to 44-321 to receive a credit card donation link. Thank you for helping give this little girl a second chance at finding a loving home!

Update on Raven, the rabbit who gave birth at Queen Anne's County Animal Services earlier this week: her babies are doing well! We thought there were two kits, but turned out to be a third one. They are flourishing in foster care.

Welcome to ESRREC, Raven!

This young lady was brought in as a stray to Queen Anne's County Animal Services last month. Yesterday evening she gave birth to 2 kits at the shelter. ESRREC picked up the mama and babies today. Raven is in foster care tonight, probably very relieved to feel both she and her babies are safe.

This year so far we have taken in 22 young or newborn rabbits. That’s months of fostering and 💰💰💰 for spay/neuter surgeries, wellness exams, vaccinations and other medical expenses.

Just today, we got an ESVA rabbit neutered that would normally cost us $104 with the rescue discount, but it was $300 because he’s cryptorchid, a more complicated surgery.

If you would like to help defray these costs, our PayPal address is [email protected] or simply text the word BUNNY to 44-321 to get a donation link. We are a 501c3 nonprofit so it’s tax deductible!

HELP US SAVE MORE BUNNY LIVES

Shelters are overcrowded and rabbits are getting dumped outside to fend for themselves. We have nearly 60 rabbits in our care, including some that are foster-to-adopt, some that are too young to get spayed/neutered yet, and some that have medical concerns.

Sadly, we are unable to take in more rabbits until we have more foster homes.

We can provide a lot of supplies to get you started. Bunny experience is a plus but not required. All of the medical expenses will be covered.

However, we are only accepting new applications from foster families on the Eastern Shore.

This includes Rock Hall, Chestertown, Galena, Elkton, Church Hill, Centreville, Stevensville, Ridgely, Easton, Cambridge, Salisbury, Berlin....

Get started with our online foster application form http://esrrec.org/foster

Please share this post to help us reach potential foster homes!

This month we will be at a variety of special events. As always, you can also arrange a private adoption appointment for your family by emailing us at [email protected]!

We are excited to partner with Galena Animal Medical Clinic to bring our community this educational opportunity!

Whether you have a pet rabbit, or are considering getting one, anyone who wants to learn more is welcome to attend.

Registration form: https://forms.gle/gCBQ9fCFqXnB1Rbi7

We do have space limitations. If we reach our capacity, we will start a waiting list.
