Tazwell and Scarlet

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.

Pixel

Sarah and Matt Jackson are delighted with their new daughter, Pixel.  They have always wanted a rabbit and now their dream has come true.  It was truly love at first sight.

Pixel (sister of Penelope) was one of four rabbits found in the woods in Cuyahoga Falls.  She is still a little shy but with some patience, her personality will blossom.  She is young, healthy, and beautiful.

This bunny in HRS foster care needed a permanent home.  All HRS rabbits are spayed/neutered, litterbox-trained, and socialized.

Bootsy

Bootsy has been adopted at LONG last!  After being in foster for about two years, he has a place to call his own.  Now named Boo, he is getting accustomed to being spoiled rotten by his new mom and dad.  Congrats, Cameo and Dan!

Bootsy, a male Angora, is a fluffy ball of cotton.  He is very sweet and patient for his grooming sessions (Angora rabbits require quite a bit of regular grooming to keep their coats smooth).  He will make a great companion for the right person.

This bunny in BHRS foster care needed a permanent home.  All BHRS rabbits are spayed/neutered, litterbox-trained, and socialized.

Jessica

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.
