One of the local animal shelters will be putting to sleep half of their bunnies.

We need help to place 12-14 ASAP.....

I know no one is into bunnies but I can't bear the thought of which ones will be picked to die. If you can help, we'd really appreciate it.

Why are they being put to sleep? Does someone think there are too many at the shelter? I know that finding good homes for rabbits is hard, heck we even get people here going to the shelter and saying they would like a "couple of rabbits to eat". Rabbits seem to be caught between people thinking of them as pets or as something to eat.

Yes, the shelter has too many apparently. They are all overflowing with rabbits... and needless to say so are we! We are just desperate for foster homes for rabbits!!!
