Sanctuary Buns /

Sylvia

Sylvia has developed some medical issues, so she is now a sanctuary bunny.  Sylvia originally came from a hoarding case in Huber Heights, outside of Dayton, Ohio.  The Cleveland APL took her on as a foster bun, but they quickly learned she was traumatized from her previous “home” so she was not adoptable.  In 2014, this adorable little brown and white dutch girl came to live with Kristen Doherty.  We thought she could be adopted by experienced bunny people who accepted her for who she is, but unfortunately that didn’t happen.

Here is her original posting — Sylvia is great with her litterbox, keeps her pen very tidy, and loves her three-story condo house.  She is a cautious girl; you have to earn her trust.  But once you do, she is a loyal and loving soul who will open your heart to new adventures.

Buddy

Buddy was not available long before he was snatched up by his new mom Sarah and rabbit wife Claire.  Although neither lady was convinced at first, Buddy has wiggled his way into both of their hearts.  Congratulations!

Buddy is a sweet young man who loves to do binkies although he is a little shy at first.  With perfect litter box habits, he’s sure to make the perfect addition to any bunny-loving family.

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

Humphrey

I have some sad news to share.  Buckeye’s sanctuary bunny, Humphrey, passed away on Monday, April 23, 2018.  We knew Humphrey had cancer, but it did not slow him down.  Despite his different aliments, Humphrey was always his normal upbeat, inquisitive, and rascally rabbit self.  Once his appetite was gone and his energy level was not the same, we knew it was time.  Humphrey lived much longer than any of us expected.  He was loved and cherished and will be terribly missed.  His foster mom, dad, and doggie sister loved him so much.  Binky free, Humphrey!  — Stephanie Lodge

Handsome Humphrey was originally taken in by Buckeye House Rabbit Society in August 2016.  Unfortunately, as many people know, certain colors and breeds of animals are not as popular as others, so our handsome boy remained a foster.  It wasn’t until April 2017 that we noticed a lump on Humphrey’s side.  Sadly, the biopsy results came back abnormal and the vet suspected cancer.  It was then that we knew he would become a sanctuary bunny.

Since then, BHRS member Stephanie Ash has cared for Humphrey as her own.  Despite not knowing how long he will be with us, we make every day the best day we can for him with lots of treats, gentle pets, room to play, and fun enrichment activities.  He is happy, and even though his lump continues to grow, he still doesn’t realize anything is wrong with him.

Here is his previous Needs-a-Home write-up —

Humphrey is a very busy boy.  He is only about one year old and loves free time away from his pen.  He doesn’t care for being held (because that takes time away from his freedom to explore, you see).  He does love attention and is very people-friendly.  Humphrey loves shredding up newspaper inside of his cardboard box.  Humphrey is a bit of a goof ball and is sure to make you laugh.

Butterfly

Butterfly has been adopted by Melissa Barnhart of Toledo, OH.  We wish happy adventures for her!

Meet Madam Butterfly.  Butterfly loves her free time away from her x-pen and especially loves exploring new things and checking out the sites.  She is very tidy and loves to re-arrange her cardboard boxes.  Butterfly is always up for an adventure.
