Getting Started with Adoption

​​

Please start by reviewing our Adoption Policy thoroughly. Once you’ve read it and feel fully prepared and committed to providing a loving, responsible home for one of our bunnies, proceed to complete the online prescreen form. Links to both the policy and the form are available at the top of this page

​​

Check our "Bunnies To Adopt" page first!

​

If we don’t have any available, stay updated on our litters and reservation dates by following us on Instagram and visiting the "Upcoming Litters" page on our website.

​

Bunnies are available for reservation once they are 5–6 weeks old, and reservation dates will be posted before they reach four weeks of age. A few days before their reservation date, they’ll be moved to the Available Bunnies page, complete with individual photos and gender details to help you make your choice.

​

Please keep in mind: By the time our Standard Reservation opens, some bunnies from the litter may not be available. The bunnies available for reservation will be posted on our Available Bunnies page before the reservation date, so be sure to check there for the most up-to-date availability.

​

Reservation Process:

​​

On the specified reservation date and time (listed on our Upcoming Litters and Available Bunnies pages), please send an email to sweetroseliny@gmail.com to reserve a bunny.

​

Email Instructions: Include your preferred bunny choices in order of priority. Listing multiple choices increases your chances of reserving a bunny.

​

Fairness Policy: Emails received before the designated start time will be added to the end of the list.

​

Timeliness Matters: While emailing at the exact start time increases your chances, it does not guarantee a reservation due to high demand.

​

Response Process: We will contact interested parties in the order that emails are received. Our response will include details about the available bunnies and the adoption fee. Please make sure your notifications are enabled so you don’t miss our emails, as we occasionally have families who miss out on securing a bunny because they didn’t see our message in time.

​

Confirmation Window: After receiving our Venmo information, you will have 15 minutes to confirm your reservation and submit a deposit equal to half of the adoption fee. After this time, we will move on to the next interested party.

​

Payment Requirement: We currently accept deposits via Venmo only. Please ensure your account is set up in advance. Deposits must be sent without Purchase Protection, as this prevents Venmo from holding the payment and deducting any fees from the deposit. Any payments sent with Purchase Protection will not secure a bunny, and you will be asked to contact Venmo to cancel the payment.

​

Please note that our reservation process can take a few hours, depending on the number of bunnies available. As a result, it may take some time for us to respond to your email.

​

Once we receive your deposit, your bunny reservation is secured. You can expect a welcome email by the following day.

​​

Availability After Reservation Opening

​

If we still have bunnies available after reservation time has opened, please email us at sweetroseliny@gmail.com and mention which bunny you’re interested in. You’ll receive a response if the bunny is still available, along with their adoption fee. If you decide to move forward with the reservation and haven’t submitted the prescreen form yet, you’ll be asked to complete it before moving forward. Once your prescreen has been approved, I’ll send you our Venmo information. Please note that you’ll have 30 minutes to send the deposit to secure your bunny once you receive our Venmo information. 

​

Important Information

​​

• Prescreen Approval: Submitting the prescreen form is necessary to be considered for adoption. We will review your submission and respond within 24-72 hours to let you know if you’re approved.

​

• Approval Validity: An approved prescreen form is valid for two months from the date of submission.

​

• Important Note: Approval does not guarantee a bunny. The full adoption process must be completed to secure one.

​

• Adoption Fee:  Our adoption fees for Holland Lops ranges with most falling between $600–$900. Adoption fees for Netherland Dwarfs currently range from $400–$600 as they are part of our new program. The fee reflects the quality of care that goes into raising these wonderful companions, as well as several other factors including age, type, size, coat color, and markings. The adoption fee is usually set a day before the litter's reservation day, allowing us to better assess the bunnies.

​

• Please Note: While most bunnies will be available when reservations open, not every bunny you see on our website or our social media pages will necessarily be available at the standard reservation time. We reserve the right to retain select bunnies for our program or place select bunnies in approved homes before the official reservation date. Until a deposit has been received for a specific bunny, all bunnies remain available and may be retained or adopted at our discretion.
