Shelters In Crisis!!
Shelters across the country are in crisis right now, overloaded with unwanted rabbits who are in danger of being euthanized. Blame it on Easter "impulse purchases" or simply the amazing reproductive capabilities of rabbits, but once again this year, If you can find room in your home, please consider helping your local shelter or rescue by adopting or fostering a bunny in need - you'll be saving a life. Literally.


Easter And Bunnies Don't Mix

Please Don't Give Pets As Gifts!!
Shelters and rescues are inundated with animals that were given as gifts to people who didn't really want them and don't know how to take care of them. They expect this year to be no different, beginning on the day after Christmas. Please don't give a live animal as a gift - give a stuffed plush toy instead, or consider making a donation to a rescue or shelter in someone's name as a gift. Just please don't give a live animal as a gift - it requires a lifelong commitment to the pet, and too often they get shortchanged. Thanks!!

Pippin&Pugsly

Pugsly - This adorable white and black eared/eye Hotot mix adult, approx 5-6lbs, is Pippin's mate. He was in better shape than Pippin, and spends much of his time grooming and snuggling with her. Pugsly gets so excited when it is veggie time, he appears to do a little dance of happiness!

Update August 5, 2009: Pippin was recently at the vet having dental care done. During this the vet discovered that Pippin's tongue is twisted (possibly an old injury). Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done, so she will have continual issues with drooling.

Despite this, Pippin is doing better, and happy with all the love that her mate Pugsly gives her.


This sweet English Spot/Dwarf mix, white and brown spotted, approx 4-5lbs, was surrendered to a CT ACO shelter, along with her mate Pugsly (picture pending). Her former person had become very ill, and could no longer provide for them. they had been at the shelter almost 2 months, before 3 Bunnies became aware of them. Seeing Pippin needed medical attention, 3 Bunnies immediately offered help (the shelter had taken the rabbits to a veterinarian).

As you can see, Pippin had a large area under her chin and neck that is raw and crusted with dried pus. Her front feet had raw areas, and she would only gingerly put weight on them, often curling them under her. She was immediately seen by our vet. Her teeth are mostly nubs (she is an older girl), thus causing her to drool. Pippin was cleaned up, and put on antibiotics, a special skin cream, and pain meds. Two days into treatment, Pippin was eating hay, pellets and chopped up greens. Her neck and feet showed improvement.

Pippin just went for a follow up, and is having to have dental work done for molar spurs. It was also noted that her side and hind leg is missing fur, and we suspect she is pulling out the fur due to hormones, so the vet feels she can not wait to be spayed, which is also being done. Pippin is such a sweet girl, and her mate, Pugsly, takes such wonderful care of her. She has a bit of a long road ahead of her in rehab, but with plenty of TLC and proper vet care, we are optimistic that Pippin's future looks bright!!

Please consider helping Pippin by making a sponsorship donation. Any amount, whether large or small, will make a world of difference to Pippin.
