Pets Alive Westchester :: Rabbit Application

Animal Adoption

We strongly prefer to show animals by appointment and we do not show animals without an approved application. We have a small staff and we don't always have an adoption coordinator available to show you the animals you are interested in. We request you fill out an adoption application and our coordinator will be in touch to arrange a time for you to come down. We understand that this is not the way many shelters do it but it solves many problems for both sides. We have someone here that KNOWS the animals and can answer your questions about that animal. We can also better match you to an animal that suits your family and activity level. Sometimes the cutest animal on the page may NOT suit your family life! Our coordinator can best match you to one that does. Additionally if you fall in love with an animal and do not meet our adoption requirements...well, that is just bad for both of us! So please respect our policy and fill out an adoption application. We'll be in touch to help match you to a pet that best suits you!

Thanks for wanting to offer a home to a shelter animal! Our rabbit adoption donation is $50.
