We cover the towns of Dorchester, Bridport, Weymouth, Portland, Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Sherborne and Axminster (Devon) as well as all the surrounding villages and hamlets. Our main priorities are the welfare and rehoming of local animals. We raise our funds within the Branch boundaries and all money raised is spent within the area. We are responsible for "Taylors Animal Rehoming Centre" at Kingston Maurward, Dorchester. |

Rabbits and Guinea Pigs for Rehoming
|
|
|
|
|
Below you will find photos, names and details of the rabbits we currently have in need of homes. For full details of the adoption process, please click here.
PLEASE think carefully before taking on a rabbit as a pet. Rehoming Centres all over the country are absolutely over-run with unwanted bunnies. We have a massive waiting list of rabbits to come in to the care of the Branch - we simply cannot take them all as we do not have the facilities. There is a tendency for people to think of rabbits as good pets for children, they are quite simply not. They have a tendency to scratch and bite (especially if mishandled) and as we all know 'the novelty' soon wears off and the rabbit is condemned to a life of misery in a hutch at the bottom of the garden. Rabbits deserve better than this. Of course, rabbits can make lovely pets for responsible owners, if you are sure that you can give a pair of our bunnies the kind of life they deserve then we'd be very happy to hear from you.
