  Problem is, nobody she has contacted can see her until 6:30 tonight. Does anyone know of a place that can see her earlier? (Nextdoor Richmond / Hwy 41)
• I need to rehome my two mini Rex rabbits.
  The Appleton humane society has a waiting list right now. I want to make sure they get to a good home. Anyone interested in adopting 2 bunnies?!?… (Nextdoor Gillet Highlands)
