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!!

Buns That Need Sponsors

Donate   Become A Foster Parent  

These bunnies urgently need your help

3 Bunnies Rabbit Rescue Inc often takes in rabbits that are in need of medical care, have suffered neglect/abuse, or for whom medical issues are discovered once they are in our care. Providing appropriate medical care/rehab can be costly and sometimes a lengthy recovery period is required, in order to help these wonderful buns get a second chance at finding a loving permanent indoor home. To sponsor a rabbit needing extra help, you can make a one time donation, or ongoing support. Any donation amount is appreciated.

Think about making a donation for a sponsorship rabbit in memory of a beloved companion that has gone to the Rainbow Bridge or in someone's name as a birthday gift, anniversary gift, or the like. Hey, get your co-workers/place of employment together, to help give a bun a second chance. You can follow the progess of "your bun" and know you were part of saving a life!!!

If you would like to help some of these buns on their road to recovery, please consider sponsoring one of our buns in need, to help defray medical expenses. If interested, contact us at: info@3bunnies.org, or you can go directly to paypal and make a donation using this general sponsorship link.

We would like to let everyone know how grateful 3 Bunnies is for the support many of our rabbits receive. Those who donate or provide sponsorship ensure these rabbits get the help they need.

All the buns send "binkies and kisses" to everyone that helps give them a second chance.

Dedication

This page is dedicated to the memory of one of our most beloved and avid sponsors, David Lazarus who passed away on October 31, 2008. He leaves behind his beloved Queen Daisy who is now in our care and will live out her life as happy as she can be without him. We love you, we thank you, and we will miss you, David. Our prayers are with you. We will take good care of Queen Daisy, and we've already found a nice friend for her.

It is also in memory of all the bunnies we couldn't help and dedicated to all the bunnies out there who still need to be helped.

Please click on the thumbnail or the bunny's name to see even more images and the story told from the bunny's point of view

This adorable Chinchilla Netherland Dwarf mix, 4 years old and 3-4lbs was taken in from a CT shelter. He started to develop a lump on his neck while at the shelter, so they put him on some antibiotics, Seeing that it was not helping and the lump was getting larger, the shelter took his mate away, and adopted her out. After some time, it was decided that no further medical care would be given, and John Henry was given 5 days to find placement. 3 Bunnies was contacted, and took him in.

Once at our vet, John Henry was diagnosed with an ear infection (we noticed a slight head tilt), for which he is being treated. The mass down his neck was removed, and a biopsy was done. We are waiting to hear if it is a fat tumor or some form of cancer.

Despite what John Henry has been through, he is a sweet, adorable little guy, with a spunky personality. He thinks nothing of jumping right up on your lap and making himself right at home, even deciding to dig at and rearrange your clothes to his liking. Always curious and alert, John Henry does enjoy snuggling up in your neck.

Bobbie

Update February 2, 2009: Little Bobbi has had two treatments for a question of Syphilis. His nose mass has come off, and healthy pink tissue is now seen. Bobbi has possibly one more treatment left. This little old man is starting to "kick up his heels" and spends lots of his time giving kisses to his foster mom

This sweet little Netherland Dwarf male came to 3 bunnies for sanctuary. Bobbie is 12-14yrs old, and approx 1-2lbs. This precious bun has lived his life in a 1'x2' wire cage outdoors, and in winter the cage was moved to a garage. His water was often frozen, and he recieved little attention. His savior was finally able to get him to 3 Bunnies where his foster mom is working to put some weight on him and giving lots of TLC. He spends hours snuggled up in her arms, giving lots of kisses. Bobbie does have an issue with his nose (possible old injury) and will be receiving vet care. This bun is availabe for sponsorship

Update February 25, 2008: Robert, being much older than the girls, is sadly, having health issues. Jenna and Glennis are taking good care of Robert, and giving him extra grooming and snuggle sessions.
We will keep everyone updated on Jolly Robert

Jolly Robert, Jenna and Glennis - Oh what a wonderful thing it is!! An adorable trio of bunnies!!

Jolly is a 3yr old med sized dark grey American. Jenna and Glennis are approx 3 month old white New Zealands. These girls will be on the large size, but what gentle rabbits New Zealands are.

Hi!!! We are such a happy, playful, social bunch. Jenna and I (Glennis) love our "guy" Jolly. He grooms us, and gives our BIG ears lot of kisses. Jolly is so nice to cuddle with, or to do "bunny flops" with. (Jolly rolls on his back with his feet sticking up. It is so funny!) Being babies still, we often zoom around, doing flying leaps, binkies, and bunny dances. WHEW! then we collapse in a sound sleep, knowing our Jolly is right next to us, keeping us safe.

We would love a forever home, and the chance to fill you life with happiness and joy.

Thanks for reading!!

Pippin
Click Here To Donate To Pippin

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.

Sir Lancelop
Click Here To Donate To Sir Lancelop

A silver white with grey point French Lop mix, approx 8-10lbs and 1.7 yrs old.

We were contacted by a fellow rescuer to Lancelop's situation. He was in need of immediate medical care and a proper living enviorment. He was transported into 3 Bunnies care, and is recieving medical attention. As you can see his eyes have a disharge which has caused his skin to be red/raw and painful. His nail were long and curled with a possible toe or two broken. His teeth also needed tending to. Our vet is giving him the medical care he needs.

Lancelop is such a sweet guy! He gets all "mushy" when you hold him, and it was wonderful to see him do a big long bunny stretch. We expect him to be on the road to recovery, and available for adoption soon.

Gabriel

Click Here To Donate To Gabriel

A sweet gentle white and brown spotted Mini Rex, approx 1 year old.

As you can see, Gabriel has a significant head tilt. He came into 3 Bunnies when his former family decided that they could not pay for vet care, and an area vet had them contact us. His only other option was euthanasia.

Once in our care, it could be better seen just how severe Gabriel's condition was. He could not go but a couple of steps before flipping over and over, only to finally right himself by leaning against the side of his cage. He would shake and be exhausted from the effort to stay upright. Uncertain of his prognosis, he spent a couple of days at the vet hospital, where he was diagnosed with a deep inner ear infection. This had been left untreated for several months.

Gabriel has been receiving oral meds along with ear meds, and frequent vet checks. He is showing some improvement (no longer flipping over), but it will take time to see just how much better he does get. Through out, Gabriel has had a great appetite, and loves attention, even giving kisses! He has a zest for life.

Please consider helping Gabriel by making a sponsorship donation. Whether small or large, every penny can make a difference and help to offset his vet expenses. If you would like to make a donation directly to the vet hospital, please contact us. Thank You
