Adoption Procedure
Thank you for your interest in this most wonderful of life’s companion animals!
Please Note: We only adopt within the state of Oklahoma. Also, please only apply if you have 1 dog or less, any more than that is too stressful for bunnies.
Our adoption process is set up to help ensure that we find permanent loving homes for each rabbit. The steps are:
- Step 1 – Complete the Online Google Form or Download the pre-adoption questionnaire and either email or snail mail it to us. The questionnaire helps us to know more about you and also highlights possible ‘trouble spots’, most of which are usually easily resolved ahead of time.
- Step 2 – Our Director, Jeannie Patterson, will call you to answer any questions you may have, and to arrange a time for you to come and visit the Rescue, which is located just outside Blanchard, Oklahoma. This will be a time for you to visit with the rabbits, and find the special one who likes you as much as you like him or her. This usually takes a couple of hours. (We shelter far more than are currently on our website!)
- Step 3 – Once you and that special bun have made a decision, Jeannie will arrange a time for her to bring the rabbit to your home. Once there, she will ensure that you are both happy with your decision, answer any questions you have, you will fill out the adoption papers, and pay the fee of $100. (We adopt out only spayed or neutered rabbits. The adoption fee helps us cover the costs of this.)
Please contact us if you have further questions. Heartland’s phone number is (405) 830-4646.
Please fill out the online questionnaire if interested.
