Rabbits make wonderfully social family pets! However, be sure to familiarize yourself with their care and enrichment needs before adopting. Although relatively easy to care for once you know how, rabbits do require more attention than most people typically think. Rabbits may be able to live in pairs. When bonded, they will groom each other and snuggle together for companionship. Solo rabbits will need more human social time than pairs. Curious and social, rabbits do benefit from a lot of time out of their cage and can be litter box trained so they can roam freely in a safe environment. While rabbits vary a great deal in size, the average rabbit may weigh approximately 5 pounds and can live 6-12 years with proper care.
Alice is an indoor only senior rabbit looking for her fur-ever home to enjoy her golden years. In her prior home, Alice had a rabbit-proofed room of her very own to hop around and explore, plus she had supervised free roam time in other parts of the house. Alice has long beautiful fur and would need routine brushing to prevent matting. Like most rabbits, Alice is not fond of being held but if you are seated on the floor she will gladly hop over to you especially if you have her favorite food; arugula! Alice's new owner should have previous rabbit experience.

Way back in 1881, a Hartford High School senior named Gertrude O. Lewis wanted to find a way to help animals of Connecticut. She gathered support in her community – including some of Connecticut’s most prominent citizens of the time – and that very same year, Gertrude founded the Connecticut Humane Society.
And all these years later, the work continues. CHS is the oldest and most comprehensive animal welfare organization in the state, serving thousands of pets every year. As an independent nonprofit organization, CHS does not receive any funding from the government and is not associated with any national animal welfare groups. The pets rely solely on the generosity and support of donors and volunteers.
