* Pinkerton found his forever home with lovely people! Woo hoo! *

Pinkerton was found as a stray in Hamilton. He was favouring his back left leg, so the Animal Control officer from Hamilton Animal Services took him to the vet. Xrays showed that Pinkerton had a broken pelvis. Pinkerton was sent back to the shelter with the vet’s recommendation of cage rest and pain medication. His stray time came and went, but no owner came forward to claim him.
We got Pinkerton out of the shelter and into the capable hands of small animal specialist vet, Dr. Stubbs at Spencer Creek Animal Hospital. She recommended pain meds and a month of cage rest for this little guy, and it worked like a charm! A few weeks after his rescue, you’d almost never know Pinkerton had a broken pelvis. This little boopster showed almost no signs of his injury at all. He was hopping and jumping and binkying and flopping. He was supposed to be on cage rest, but he used every inch of that cage to express his joy. Such a sweetheart!
During his neuter surgery, a second set of xrays were done and they showed that Pinkerton’s pelvis is healing up wonderfully. He may experience arthritis later in life, but Dr. Stubbs gave him the green light to be made available for adoption now!

It’s tough to tell from the photos, but Pinkerton is really small. Though he’s tiny, he has big, big love for everyone he meets! He isn’t thrilled about being picked up, but he does enjoy being petted. He’s very affectionate.
Pinkerton is being housed in an xpen (see below for examples of proper housing for bunnies), and loves to explore when he’s out for exercise. We believe he would likely enjoy the company of another rabbit, with proper introductions. A small spayed female would probably be the best match for him.

Pinkerton is a fabulous little bunny. He’ll make a great companion for just about any home.

Our fostered rabbits are housed in x-pens or similar enclosures so they have lots of room to move around when they aren’t out for floor time. Some of our rabbits are free range in their foster home.
Commercially made pet store rabbit cages are far too small to allow rabbits to stretch out and move around with ease.
Here are some great websites and photos outlining alternative rabbit housing using x pens and similar enclosures.
