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 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.

What's on your "generic" local manhole?

My local area has some specialty manholes (including some from the Gundam manhole project not too far away!) but the most common "generic" one features mountains and watermelon. Fairly representative of the region, I think! What's on yours?

Do you have a favorite mascot?

The other day, on "Strawberry Day" I wrote about "Yoshimin", the strawberry mascot of Yoshimi. I thought it might be fun to introduce a few others, so I've just written about "Tokimo" the mascot of Kawagoe. And I plan to introduce a couple of my favorites. It begs the question, do you have a favorite mascot? And how about writing a post on City-cost about your favorite or a local mascot? Pictured "Umerin" who I plan to write about next!

Who is your hero!?

Today, January 16th, is Hero Day. Who is your favorite hero, fictional or otherwise? The first one who comes to my mind for me is a real life person; Mary Robinson, a former president of Ireland (moreover, the first female president), and a former United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights, among other impressive roles. I had the great pleasure of meeting her in December, a dream come true. I was trying to think about who my favorite fictional hero is. I have not come to conclusion yet! There is such a choice. Do you have one?

Recommendations for next Christmas?

While its somewhat fresh in your mind, what gifts came into your house this Christmas and / or New Year, that you thought were really nice things to receive and / or really good buys, that you think might make a good present for someone else in the future? As you might see in the product reviews, I am going through some of the things I bought for the kids this year and thinking of what I was really happy with. And already thinking of next year!

Growing Mushrooms

Here's for a weird hobby. I just saw a video by an American Youtuber that I plan to watch about growing shiitake mushrooms. From what I've seen, it probably needs a bit of space. There was a local market in Fukuoka Prefecture that had a "mushroom room" where they grew and sold mushrooms like maitake and eringi. I also saw a video of a couple in Paris that built a mushroom growing shower room! The local hardware store sells "seeded" logs and shiitake mushroom growing kits. I have seen the logs around people's homes on occasion. It seems like a very odd, but sustainable hobby. Has anyone tried it, or is anyone interested to try this? I wonder how involved or beginner friendly it is.

Firstly, do you visit Santa Claus each year in Japan? And if so, where? I've been posting places you can meet Santa Claus in various parts of Japan on the blog section. If you are looking for somewhere to meet him this year, you'll find at least 25 places on City-cost.
