The standard free health check is being enhanced to include a check of the rabbit’s temperature.  For the safety of the group, all rabbits must have their temperatures taken (by our experienced rabbit handlers) before being admitted. This month's is Sunday July 28 from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM. So bring your fuzzy friend and give them an opportunity to socialize with other rabbits and guinea pigs! Socialization is a very important part of overall rabbit and guinea pig welfare, and a Hoppy Hour is the perfect opportunity to let your fuzzy one play with others.  We'll be at the Humane Society Lawn, at 5399 Overpass Rd, Santa Barbara, CA 93111. Admission is $10 per rabbit or guinea pig. All animals must be healthy and rabbits must have been spayed or neutered at least 30 days in advance. Please join us for an afternoon of fun!
