This sweet, golden-brown bunny is already spayed, microchipped, and looking for her forever home on Long Island. |

A gentle soul with a fluffy, golden-brown coat is waiting to capture the heart of a new family at the Babylon Animal Shelter.
Her name is Whopper the rabbit, and she is this week’s featured pet looking for a loving home.
Arriving at the Amityville shelter in early August, Whopper is just over a year old and described as having a calm and curious personality.
She is the perfect companion for anyone seeking a quiet, gentle pet.
One of the biggest advantages for her future family is that Whopper has already been spayed and microchipped.
This means she is ready to settle into her new life without the need for immediate veterinary procedures.
The Town of Babylon makes pet adoption an accessible process for everyone, not just local residents.
Anyone 18 or older is invited to visit the shelter on New Highway to meet her in person.
No appointments are needed, making it easy to stop by and see if she is the right fit for you.
Adoption hours are Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM and Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM.
The adoption fee for rabbits is $35, payable in cash only.
For a small fee, you can give an animal like Whopper a second chance at a happy life.
She represents the many wonderful animals available for pet adoption on Long Island who just need someone to love them.
