Thanks to a donation from Domenic and Ruth Macellari of Vero Beach, the shelter now has a special room and an outdoor play pen for up to 15 bunnies waiting for adoption.
"I call it the rabbit ranch," said shelter director Frank Andrews. "We generally have eight or nine rabbits here at any given time. Obviously, but unfortunately, we tend to get a lot more a month or two after Easter (each year) when the kids who get them from their parents get tired of them. We also get some that people bought at pet shops and, occasionally, at farmers' markets in other towns."
Wild rabbits brought to the shelter are forwarded to Animal Safe Space, a refuge for wild animals west of Fort Pierce.
