Introducing the new
SRR Mascot
''Rufus''
Rufus is a beautiful Red Belgian Hare who was born in June 2010.
2 days after coming to the centre he came down with bloat & ceacal impaction, for 5 days we tried everything to get him through this. Eventually our perseverance paid off and evtually by day 6 Rufus started to improve. Gradually his appetite came back and now he's making up for lost time!! We have decided that he will be a grat mascot for the centre showing us just how determined he was to live. He's a lovely lad that loves fuss, attetnion and space to run and play. We are looking forward to introducing him to our visitors.

Unfortunately the news is not good for our bunnyhouse with not only the roof needing urgent repairs the floor has also given way.
The £1000.00 given by Pets at Home will really come in handy now as we decided whether to replace the complete building at a cost of £1300.00 of spend nealry as much on repairs!!
With the loss of our beloved Chester we now have to make the decision of who repalces him as mascot
Mischief's name has been mentioned as has Louie's.
Anybody with suggestions please email me.

The news we've been waiting for.........
Pets at Home
''Support Adoption for Pets charity''
has awarded
Southampton Rabbit Rescue
£1000.00
to help towards the cost of repairing the roof and floor of our main building.
The building the money will help repair, a wooden structure which has been standing for 6 years and is in desperate need for repair, maintenance and some TLC houses 24 sick rabbits that live here at the centre permanently.
Sadly over the weekend just gone (13/11/09) 4 windows gave way in the high winds, it looks as though the remaining windows won't be long behind. They are completely rotten and like the best part of the building needs repair or replacing.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH
