Looking for a website, where people want to adopt a pet

Can anybody recommend a website (Japanese ok), were people looking for a pet? I already know the know Ark, but they only have cats and dogs. I´m searching a new home for one of my rabbits.

I´m a german girl living in the center of Tokyo, but my true love belongs to the countryside of Japan (especially Chiba and Hokkaido). I love traveling in Japan and explore hidden areas.
I want to help people with my articles to get in touch with the Japanese culture and all the beautiful places you can explore.

Besides traveling around, I love trains, handcraft and my little rabbits.

    Perhaps contact PochitamaKai which adopts out dogs and cats, but may provide information regarding adopting out other animals. See their website - http://www7b.biglobe.ne.jp/~inu-neko/ Your profile indicates you live in Tokyo. Are you still located there? Consider posting on Tokyo Notice Board or Craigslist Tokyo. Both have pet listings.

    You could post it on some of the Facebook groups for expats!

    You can join to some Facebook groups for gaijins (eg Gaijinpot) or post it on Tokyo Craigslist.

    Tokyo Craigslist was going to be my first suggestion too. I am a member of a few Japan based Facebook swap pages but I just checked the guidelines and they don't allow rehoming or giving away animals unfortunately. Honestly I'd say the easiest thing to do is get your friends to check with people they know and see if anyone is interested in a new furry friend! Sometimes just checking in the circles of people you know can find a good home for a pet.

    I also recommend Facebook, just because you can see a bit more information about the people there so your rabbit can go to someone seemingly more trustworthy :)

    Thank you for all the answers. I´ve found a new owner through Craiglist, but also realized that it can be very difficult to find a Japanese person who would adopt pets. Seems like it is not very common to do this.

Japan features that would be a bug in your country? And the opposite?

What features in Japan's culture would be considered a bug in your home country? Or the other way around - an aspect of daily life in your home country that wouldn't fly here in Japan? I've got one. In Japan, many sliding doors in industrial and institutional buildings are designed to make noise. The rattle indicates comings and goings. I worked in institutional buildings in Canada with silent doors and soft closing mechanisms.

Reflections on our home countries after living in Japan

I think one thing living in Japan has given me is an appreciation of things my country does really well, and things it doesn't do so well in comparison to here. For instance, I think Australia is great with annual leave entitlements. You get four weeks automatically (some workplaces offer even more!) and there's not any guilt associated with taking it. Something we don't do so well is public transport. I know that Australia is a massive country, but there has been talk of creating a high speed rail option from Melbourne to Sydney for ages, and nothing has ever come of it. It's basically an 8 hour drive or flying. Also, inner city trains are regularly not on time. What are the things you think your home country does better or worse than Japan?

Hair Color Treatments for Greying Hair

For those of you who have colored grey hair, I'm curious about the hair color treatments available in most drugstores. They seem simpler to use than box dyes. It's been many years since I've colored my hair. It's a chestnut brown and my grey is more silver. I don't hate it but the grey is dry and making me feel like I look older than I am. I'm especially interested in the natural brands that are non-permanent. For example Rishiri Kombu sounds like a decent option. Looking forward to your recommendations and experience.
