Rabbits are the third most surrendered animal to the Animal Humane Society in Golden Valley, and to keep that number from rising, staff and volunteers at the shelter encourages all to think twice before giving live rabbits as Easter gifts.
Bunnies requires great responsibility and need as much time and care as a dog or cat. Providing a live rabbit as a gift for those who could potentially be unprepared costly and heartbreaking gesture, like an animal could get into a shelter.

People are then able to develop their own special and festive surprise in an Easter basket or to include one of the many available stuffed animals. This approach gives the recipient time to prepare for a new pet, but also gives them freedom of choice.
