1. Primary caregiver must be a responsible adult and children should not be expected to care for the rabbit entirely.  The whole family must want the rabbit, and the rabbit should be considered as being a part of the family. Rabbits will not be adopted out to live in classrooms, daycares, nursing homes, etc.

2. Rabbits are adopted to indoor homes only as household companions.  No garages, outdoor hutches, or other non-human living areas will be considered as an indoor home.  If you are planning to house the rabbit even a portion of the time outdoors, please adopt elsewhere or reconsider getting a rabbit.

3. Rabbits need plenty of social interaction and play time. If a rabbit is expected to be alone a good portion of the day, it is highly recommended to adopt a pair, or to bond one rabbit to another.  Rabbits are not pets to be caged for extended amounts of time.

4. All adoptable rabbits have been spayed/neutered. Sweet Binks will only adopt rabbits to homes with other rabbits as long as all the rabbits have been altered.  Sweet Binks will only conduct bondings when all rabbits have been altered also. If a young rabbit is adopted, strict adoption policies are required to ensure spay/neutering when age appropriate.

5. Returns or Exchanges:  Although adopters are screened to believed to be able to provide a forever home for a rabbit(s), sometimes situations happen where the rabbit can not be kept in her adopted home.  Whenever a rabbit is adopted and can no longer stay with the person who adopted the rabbit(s), the rabbit(s) must be returned to Sweet Binks, no matter what the time span. Rabbits can not be exchanged, except in bonding situations or other situations where Sweet Binks feels it is in the best interest.

6. Sweet Binks does not adopt to college students living in dorms or renting before graduation. We believe a dormitory is not a suitable environment and sometimes prohibited. College students lives are uncertain and a rabbit is a long term commitment. We feel it is best to wait after graduation and once settled before adopting a rabbit.

7. Adoption fees are nonrefundable, as they are donations to Sweet Binks Rabbit Rescue.

8. Adoptions must be conducted in person, and Sweet Binks will not ship rabbits. Adoptions are first come, first served upon adoption approval. Sweet Binks will not hold rabbits for possible adoption unless the adoption fee is paid and/or adoption contract signed. Sweet Binks will hold a “new arrival” until spaying or neutering if the adoption fee is paid.
