PETCO Rabbit Adoptions
The following rabbits can be seen at local PETCO stores, and are available for adoption through their respective shelters or rescue organizations. Please note the contact information listed at
the bottom of each rabbit's description.
It is HIGHLY recommended that you house your new rabbit indoors. Rabbits are prey animals and San Diego County is home to many predator animals such as hawks, owls, coyotes, raccoons, foxes and bob cats, all of which kill small animals left outside (even rabbits kept in a cage or hutch). Wet or hot weather and parasites such as fleas, flies, and mosquitoes also can be deadly to rabbits. You can easily house your rabbit indoors and make him a part of your family. He will live a much longer and healthier life, and you will enjoy him so much more. Learn more about housing your bunny indoors. Indoor Bunny Housing

Apollo is a handsome little guy, needing an experienced bunny home. This little guy is Apollo, a Lion Head bunny about 6 months old. Apollo loves attention and pets, but is not comfortable being held. He loves his run time and playing in the Cottontail Cottage. He's an active boy and sometimes will try to jump right out of the pen! Apollo would do best in an experienced bunny home, with a family who has had a bunny in the past. He may do okay with children over 10 years old, but is not suitable for young children. Smaller bunnies can be more difficult to hold and a bit more cranky in temperament, so are not a good match for children. Apollo will make a great companion to someone who gives him plenty of attention and let's him move at his own speed when it comes to making friends. Apollo is ID #11705.
Apollo can be seen at the Carmel Mountain PETCO store (11160 Rancho Carmel Drive, San Diego) where he is available for adoption through the Escondido Humane Society. Stop by to meet Apollo and to complete a questionnaire if you are interested in adopting. To learn more about Apollo, email Jenny at jmclaug@prodigy.net. ** ADOPTED 6.25.07 **

Hocus & Pocus are darling boys who want some new friends to play with. Have you been considered adding a rabbit companion to your home? These bonded brothers are Mini Lop boys, about 1 1/2 years old, who adore each other and must be adopted together. Hocus & Pocus do everything together; bask in the sun, munch on hay, devour fresh greens and jump on and play in the Cottontail Cottage. They are buddies in everything they do. Both boys are neutered, good with their litter box, and love to run and play. Hocus, the smaller bunny on the right, is the more outgoing of the two. Pocus, on the left, prefers to let his brother be the 'front man.' Both are a little shy at first, but warm up to gentle attention. They would do great in a home with well-behaved children over 8 years old. White bunnies like these need to live indoors where they are safe from the sun and from predators. The x-pen housing setup is a perfect one for them. Learn more about these two handsome bunny boys by visiting the Escondido Humane Society. Hocus's ID no. is 5267 and Pocus's ID no. is 5259. Many thanks to Jen from Fuzzle.info for Hocus & Pocus' great new photo.
Hocus & Pocus are featured bunnies for adoption at the Escondido PETCO, 1000 West Valley Parkway, Escondido (just off the I-15 freeway and Valley Parkway). Stop by the Escondido PETCO store to complete an adoption application. Learn more about Hocus & Pocus by emailing Jenny at jmclaug@prodigy.net.
