For Fosters Fostering is when a rabbit stays with you as a houseguest for a period of time then returns to SaveABunny. Fostering gives a rabbit the chance to experience human kindness and a safe home (often for the very first time) and is a valuable step to help prepare them for permanent adoption. When you foster, you’re typically matched with a rabbit selected by SaveABunny who we feel would benefit from the experience, while also taking into account your circumstances (available space, noise level, household members, etc.) so there is mutual benefit. Only certain bunnies at SaveABunny are foster candidates.
