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!!

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.

John_Henry
Click Here To Donate To John Henry
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.
Thanks for reading!!

Bobbie
Click Here To Donate To 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

Robert

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.
Thanks for reading!!

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
Thanks for reading!!
