The information below will help prepare you and guide you through our reservation/ adoption process.

---

1: Apply to adopt.

We'd like to inform you that our adoption process is exclusively conducted online. To ensure the privacy of our family and the well-being of our bunnies, we do not facilitate in-person visits.

We are committed to finding loving and responsible homes for all our bunnies. To assist us in this endeavor, we kindly request that prospective adopters carefully review our Adoption Policy and complete our prescreen form for an approval to adopt. Please proceed with the prescreen form only if you are genuinely interested and is ready to adopt a bunny from us. Keep in mind that the approved prescreen form remains valid for three months from the date of submission.

Please note that approval of the prescreen form is required before you can reserve a bunny. We typically respond to all prescreen form submissions within 24-72 hours, letting you know if you've been approved to adopt from us. 

It's important to understand that approval based on the prescreen form does not secure a bunny. You must follow the entire adoption process to successfully adopt a bunny from our rabbitry.

2: How to reserve (adopt) a bunny/bunnies.

Stay up-to-date with our litters and reservation dates by following us on Instagram and visiting our website.  

Please be advised that while many of the adorable bunnies showcased on our Instagram and website may capture your heart, not all will be open for reservation. At Sweet Rose Rabbitry, we uphold the privilege of selecting our bunnies first from any litters produced at any given time. In addition, families that have previously adopted from us will have priority reservation.  

If you have previously adopted from us and are interested in adopting another bunny, please email us for more information. 

Reservation dates and times for our upcoming litters will be posted on the "Upcoming Litters" page before the babies bunnies reach four weeks old. 

Please note only the approved interested parties that have read our adoption policy and filled out our prescreen form on our website will be considered on a first-come, first-serve basis on reservation day.

Starting the Reservation Day:

1. Reservation Start: Starting on the specified day and time of the reservation, send an email to sweetroseliny@gmail.com.  To ensure fairness for all, please adhere to the specified time for sending emails. Emails sent before the designated time will not be considered.
2. Email Content: In your email, list your preferred bunny choices in order of priority. Keep in mind that not all bunnies may be available at the time of your reservation, and our bunnies can be reserved quickly. Providing multiple bunny choices can increase your chances of reserving a bunny.
3. Timing Matters: Be aware that emailing us right at the start of the reservation time will increase your odds of reserving a bunny. However, it does not guarantee a reservation, as we often receive more emails at that time than we have available bunnies.
4. Wait for Response: Once we receive your email, we will contact interested parties in the order of when we received the emails.
5. Response Email: Our response email will contain information on the available bunny or bunnies and the related adoption fee(s).
6. Decision Time: You will then have 15 minutes to decide whether you want to proceed with the reservation. During this time, you must leave a deposit equal to half the adoption fee using Venmo.
7. Payment Method: Please note that currently, we only accept Venmo to receive deposits, so it's important to have your Venmo account set up before contacting us. 

3: Bunnies that are available and ready for a new home (8 weeks or older).

If we have bunnies available for adoption on the day you inquire, you'll need to fill out the prescreen form. Once your application is approved, you'll be able to reserve the bunny right a way with a deposit. 

To reserve your bunny, we require a deposit of half the adoption fee using Venmo. Please ensure that you've read through our Adoption Policy before placing a deposit. Once we've received your deposit, we'll send you a confirmation email. We will then a schedule a pick up day and time. The bunny needs to be picked up within 7 days of leaving a deposit.

If we don't currently have any bunnies available for adoption, we recommend staying updated on our Instagram and website for reservation dates and availabilities for our upcoming litters.

4. Welcome to the Sweet Rose Rabbitry Family!

Once we receive your deposit, your reservation is complete. 

5: Pick Up/Final Payment. 

The Go Home Date will be scheduled for when the bunnies are about 8 weeks old. The remaining balance will be paid in cash at pick-up. Please bring the exact amount.
