Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter, The Rabbit Haven and The Bagelry Team Up to Find Rabbits Homes   Due to a rabbit confiscation of 114 neglected rabbits earlier this month, the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter is inundated with rabbits! Starting November 30, 2011, Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter (SCCAS), the Rabbit Haven and the Bagelry will join forces to find rabbits homes!  All rabbits are very social, spay/neutered and microchipped and will be adopted out for only $25.  Also, all adopters will receive a $5 “Bagel Bucks” coupon from The Bagelry that can be used at all three of their locations (320 Cedar St., 1636 Seabright Ave., 4763 Soquel Dr.).    On November 6, 2011 SCCAS animal control officers rescued 114 rabbits that were living in horrendous conditions from a breeder in Aptos, CA.  SCCAS filed 114 counts of animal neglect towards the breeder and the District Attorney is reviewing the case to determine if the charges will be misdemeanor or felony.  All the rabbits have received proper nutrition, medical care and lots of tender loving care from SCCAS and the Rabbit Haven staff and volunteers.   Rabbits are very social as well as active and playful, making them excellent indoor companions that are part of the family. They also can be litter box trained.   Rabbits are available for adoption at both SCCAS locations, 2200 7th Ave. in Santa Cruz and 580 Airport Blvd. in Watsonville.  The Rabbit Haven will have rabbits available for adoption at the following locations:   Saturday, December 3rd For Other Living Things 1261 S. Mary Ave., Sunnyvale, CA 11:00 am to 4:00 pm   Saturday, December 10th & 17th Pet Pals 3600 Soquel Dr., Soquel, CA 11:00 am to 4:00 pm
