All the fosters are asked to bring their rabbits to at least ONE adoption event per month. Our semi-monthly adoption events are held at our HQ in Columbia, MD, on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month. Fosters will need to drop their rabbits off between 10am-noon and pick them up after 4pm. Is this something you can do? *
In addition to attending adoption events, are you willing and able to meet with pre-screened adopters who have submitted an application for your foster rabbit? This may involve meeting with them outside of the adoption events and conducting interviews virtually via FaceTime, Zoom, etc.*
