They have plenty of pairs of girls If you've got room for 3
Unfortunately I don't have room for 3, although I definitely would if I could.

I don't understand why there are so many males up for adoption. Don't take this the wrong way because I have loved my girls I've had in the past, but males have such a bigger personality and tend to make more sociable pets.

Ask your vet if they use isofluorane gas as that is by far the safest method for rabbits.

As above ask your vet if they use isofluorane gas, having a shaved ear makes me believe that they used an injectable anesthetic

To get a rabbit asleep enough to operate using only isofluorane is near impossible and stressful for small animals (it stings eyes, tastes bad and is a danger to nurses too). We always give a premedication which includes a small amount of sedative - then iso (along with oxygen) is used to keep the patient asleep. They clip the ear because most sedative drugs need a reversal and to get the rabbits awake as quickly as possible the best way to do this is to gain I/V access. I'm sure this is nothing to worry about and is quite common practice.

Male rabbits are very sexually driven and so I can understand his excitement upon smelling the female, but as others have stated you should wait a few weeks at least (he'll probably still hump her a lot but at least you won't have the risk!)
I'm sure he'll be very happy to have a little friend

Ooh, they've added some. Hehe, you can always tell when rescue places have had a new batch in as all of their names are based around the same thing. Clearly Leonard, Penny and Sheldon came in all around the same time with no names (Big bang theory) and Fizz, Bella and Milo (Tweenies). I did some volunteering at a seal sanctuary where they did the same thing.

I wish I'd seen Penny, she's perfect. A neutered female that wants a neutered male. She's been reserved though

Re: He wants his friend now

Give them a call and book an appointment to be shown all the rabbits.

I reserved George even tho he wasnt yet for rehoming as he has an eye problem that they were still monitoring.

A lot of reserves fall through, sometimes they fail the home check as their hutches/runs are too small, sometimes they get board of waiting for the neutering to heal and go out and buy a baby rabbit, sometimes they just change their minds
