ESB Process:
- Submit an ESB Request Form. This will place you on the waiting list for an ESB. We will respond to your request form within 72 business hours. If you need transport quotes we will include this information.
- We are selective in which bunnies get placed into our training program. We will help you match with an ideal candidate based on your wants and needs. This process usually takes 1-12 weeks depending on which bunnies are currently available or will be available in the future. We select bunnies from our Nursery Program and give our ESA waitlist families first choice on upcoming babies. Upcoming litter information can be found on the nursery page. Bunnies must be at least 8 weeks old in order to enter our ESA Program.
- Once you have selected a bunny from our recommendations. We will send you via email, a service agreement, an invoice for the ESA Program, and if applicable, an invoice for transportation costs.
- Your ESA Programs fees and transport fees must be paid in full in order to move forward in the program. This secures your bunny for you, ensures we are able to schedule vet appointments, schedule transport like flights and pay all the costs for your bunny in a timely manner.
- Your bunny will be trained through our entire program from age 8 weeks through 6 months.
- We will email you photos and updates of your bunny's progress and care every 2 weeks.
- Your bunny will be spayed/neutered at 6 months of age. We will manage their surgery aftercare. This is typically a 2-3 week process. Once they are healed they will be ready to go home.
- We will work with you for the ideal take home date, flight, etc.
- Local pick up/Personal Transport: We will have their take home kit available up to 2 weeks prior to their take home date if you want to pick it up before hand. Otherwise it will be ready the day of going home. Your bunny will be ready to go in their carrier pm take home day.
- Transport/Flights: If you live afar, we will ship all your take home supplies to you about 2 week prior to their go home date. Their carrier or take home crate may vary depending on how they travel.
- Your bunny will be ready to go home with you once they have completed training, are spayed/neutered and fully recovered. Typically around 6-7 months of age. Due to the extensiveness of our training program we only have a couple of bunnies training at any given time.
- Many of our adoptive families live across country or many hours away. We welcome you to visit your bunny prior to their take home date either by Virtual Meet and Greet or in person Meet and Greet.
- Occasionally we offer experienced adult therapy bunnies, which we will have posted below. These bunnies have gone through our entire ESA program and are ready for placement. This means there is no waiting period! This allows us to train more bunnies who are excellent candidates and reach more families in need of an ESA. If you are interested in an available adult ESA bunny, please submit your ESB Form and let us know you are interested in a specific bunny. All of the Program Costs are the same without the 6-7+ months of waiting.
ESA Program Cost:
Our ESA Program cost is $2,500. We offer an all inclusive training program for our ESA Bunnies. This means we manage all aspects of training, care and vet appointments from birth to their take home day. If there are any transportation costs they are not included in our Program Fee and will vary depending on needs. We will accommodate what works best for your family, including organizing and managing transport options 3-5. Transportation + Getting Your ESA Home:
