We would like to say a heartfelt good bye to Kellene.  Binky free sweet baby!

In December (’07), I finally formally categorized Kellene as a sanctuary rabbit. We have had her for two years and despite our efforts to socialize her, she is still aggressive and bites us. I have tried several bonding attempts as well and she is super aggressive towards other rabbits, too. So I guess she is going to live out her days at our house.

We would like to say a heartfelt good bye to Taz and Scar.  Binky free sweet babies!

Tazwell (gray and white) and Scarlet (black) have found new life together as seniors. Scarlet, always a shy bunny, never found a permanent home. She was always passed over for a cuter or more sociable bunny. Tazwell is the last bunny we rescued from the big Elyria hoarding situation of 2005-2007. He, too, was so shy he wouldn’t let anyone touch him and spent most of his days inside of a hidey box.

When Taz and Scarlet were introduced to each other in 2013, it was instantaneous friendship. Taz is now 100% blind in both eyes and afraid to venture out on his own to explore. Scarlet is now his “eyes” and challenges him to engage in new adventures like jumping on top of boxes and meeting new friends.

They snuggle together, protect each other, eat each other’s food, and do things they wouldn’t otherwise do on their own.

It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of our dear Sanctuary bun, Jessica “Lopo”.

Jessie was approximately nine years old and was deeply loved by all who met her.  She was a sweet and gentle rabbit.  Jessica was also our most vocal resident who would hum and purr at every opportunity.  We will miss her deeply and especially miss the joy and excitement that she experienced with every meal or treat.  She most especially loved her food. 

Binky on, Jessie! — Sue Zimmerman

Meet Jessica (aka “Jessie”). Jessie is a senior bun (6 years +). She is such a sweet lop who has had a hard life.  Jessie was removed from the home of a back yard breeder by law enforcement along with several other rabbits who not being well cared for. The judge in Jessie’s case granted custody of her to a local humane society and then she came to live with us.

Jessica had mites and also had a lot of missing fur on her ears and her mouth. She also had a lot of digestive issues. She had had issues with watery eyes and some respiratory problems. With a little TLC, we were able to get Jessica into satisfactory condition but not quite well enough to be adopted.

Jessica has some arthritis and is not able to keep her back end as clean as it should be.  On occasion, she still has digestive issues. She tends to over-groom her ears which leads to fur loss around her ears and mouth. Jessica’s health overall is fair. She will do best living out her years with us and in our Sanctuary program.  Jessica is well-cared-for and well-loved. She has become one of our favorite seniors here.

Our sanctuary rabbits require special love and care. Their home is with us at the sanctuary and they are not available for adoption. You can directly support these rabbits by sponsoring them.
