Ok, ok, hares and rabbits are technically different, but health is equally important to both! This year, we took in quite a few rabbits that ended up having significant medical needs. Every dollar from you goes to support their ongoing medical care. Read on to learn more about the rabbits you're supporting! If you can't donate, or already have (thank you!), please share!

Eggnog - this brave boy is recovering well from his eye removal surgery after his months-long treatments for glaucoma did not resolve in his left eye. He also received dental trims upon his initial intake.

Kuro - a resilient boy who came to us with severely overgrown and infected teeth. After many months, the infections have finally resolved, but he remains selective with his food and is receiving special support for his appetite.

Thomas - a relatively new intake, Thomas had weepy eyes and small poops upon arrival. He was diagnosed with blocked ducts after eye flushes were unable to clear them. Recently, he was found to have blood in his urine, which for a middle-aged man, suggests bladder infection and potentially stones.

Biscuit - after coming to us with multiple wounds, Biscuit needed multiple dental treatments to treat abscesses and broken teeth. She's currently thriving in foster care, although without her front teeth, and is available for adoption!

Thank you for your support!

House rabbit home check! Alumbun Waffles has been loving life with his lovely lady Rosie. After a humpy but quick bonding, they've been enjoying each other's company since late last summer. No day goes without cuddles and kisses. With such sweet faces, there's no shortage of smiles in this happy home 🥰💚

It takes a special kind of somebun to open their heart to an animal in need. You take joy in giving a warm, loving home to an animal who would otherwise be terrified and helpless without you. As many challenges as they present, you are there for them, because they deserve love. And you deserve appreciation. Thank you to moms of all kinds!

If you think you'd make a good bunny parent, or even a temporary foster parent, reach out to us! There are many rescue rabbits waiting for foster homes so that they can leave the shelter and find their forever homes.

TLDR; Donate, like, and share to support Specially-abled Pets like Eggnog! Thank you! 💚

Last week, Eggnog joined Biscuit in the club of Specially-abled Pets. When we took Eggnog in last December, his first appointment revealed he had glaucoma (plus overgrown teeth). Glaucoma is a disease where there is increased pressure in the eye, potentially leading to nerve damage and blindness. He received his dental, and for months, we attempted to manage the eye pressure with medications. For a while, his prognosis seemed good.

But when his left eye started showing a pattern of increasing pressure again, despite the medication, removal was advised to avoid chronic pain and distress from the inflammation.

Eggnog has since had his surgery and is in great spirits. He's even grown some of his fur back!

Surgeries like these aren't a typical part of rescue intakes, but they're not uncommon either! Your donations allow us to help rabbits in special need, like Eggnog and Biscuit, who are both available for adoption!

Thank you for sharing!

TLDR; we need more foster homes to save rabbits from shelters! Submit a foster application, and save a life. If you can't foster, please share! Link in bio.

Baby bunnies are now 4 weeks older than when they were impulsively purchased just one month ago. Evermore destructive and energetic, people are beginning to realize they are more responsibility than what they first thought. So some turn to shelters, and some turn to the streets, where strays will be found many months from now, often covered in parasites and dirt.

We've received *dozens* of requests from shelters to relieve their burden of surrendered rabbits, which is getting worse by the day. We can only accept if we have foster homes available. Submit an application to foster and save a life!

If you can't foster, please share!
