GRASS VALLEY RESCUE BUNNIES

 

(All 3 Adopted!!)

 

Abigail (Abby) , Skooter Pie & Hallie all came down to us from a rescue in Grass Valley, Calif.

The owner left his property & moved out of state. The shelter there was alerted & collected all the rabbits he left behind. They were cared for before & are all child friendly happy small sized rabbits. All 3 are girls and are spayed.

2 are Lionheads (not purebred) but beautiful none the less, and Skooter Pie is a super clean (litter box manners excellent!) precious grey/wht shorthair. They are all used to being around other bunnies/children.

Ages are unknown but appear to be under 1 yr old. All 3 are extremely entertaining, playful and holdable!

PS Abby LOVES tossing her willow ball (w/bell inside).

 

 

We are currently at our foster mom Lisa's house. She says you can call her anytime to make an appointment. (831) 883-1734.

           (Adopted 8-14-2010)

      

 

SOPHIE

 

This beautiful blue eyed dwarf is deceiving! Sweet as she looks, she has bunnyless energy & loves to play! Would NOT do well locked up in a cage all day. Maybe a bunny boy friend would give her someone to play with ? She requires a lot of love & attention. She came from the Santa Cruz shelter which accepted 65+ dwarfs from an illegal breeder & was spayed in Aug 2010. She is full grown and still fits in one hand! If you have plenty of room & time to be entertained, SOPHIE is the right choice ! Age approx 1yr old. She comes with her own willow tunnel.

PINKY

 

This sweet heart bunny came to the AFRP Rabbit rescue by way of a private citizen who was left with a rabbit by her grown kids. Not knowing a thing about rabbits, she found our rescue program & called, slightly panicked. She surrendered her to us on 7/9/10. She was spayed on 7/18/10 (in case of pregnancy) and is recuperating in a comfortable foster home. Pinky is a sweet quiet bunny, careful to explore but then feels right at home. Very mellow, non chewer, extremely relaxed. Would do best in a quieter environment w/o lots of commotion or chaos. She seems to love to be “settled”. She is available for bonding appts, adoption, or a nice foster home by calling (831) 883-1734.

MAGGIE MAY

 

(Adopted 9-2-2010)

 

My name is Maggie May and I am one BIG white New Zealand female. I was spayed, 11/15/09. I am about 2 years old. I am lucky to have been saved by the fabulous Rabbit Rescue Volunteers. They found me to be irresistible when they looked into my beautiful ruby eyes and saw my laid back disposition. Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of spunk, but would rather sprawl in the middle of the room and observe all the action going on around me. My favorite pastime is eating. I'll eat anything. I love rice crispy treats. (Shame on my foster mom). I am extremely cat, dog, and kid friendly. My foster mom says I'm a couch potato. I'm clean, I'm nice, and I want my very own home now.

 

Maggie's Update

 

Maggie went into a 3 month foster home, but was abruptly returned due to family disharmony (she fell prey to broken relationship). It appears she may have been slightly neglected, but is rapidly rebounding to her old self. She needs a patient family to help her regain her faith in us humans.

TUCKER

 

This is TUCKER & he fell into the hardships of the tough economy. His family did the right thing, they surrendered him back to the AFRP RABBIT RESCUE Program where they adopted him from! Tucker was originally a rescue from the Salinas shelter.  We positively love TUCKER, a neutered REX boy approx 3yrs young and would like to find him a new family ASAP.  One that will appreciate his velvety soft coat, his perky personality yet his laid back style.  He is not too happy being homeless even though we spoil him dearly.  He needs his own place to run, binky & plop down for a nice nap!  TUCKER is currently at POSH PETS waiting.  His fellow bunny friends will be available for instant adoption too!

OREO

 

"I happened to come across this very cute and friendly rabbit in my neighborhood while taking my dogs for a walk earlier this week.  What is interesting is that he started hopping after me and my dogs!  I saw "Oreo" trying to cross the street in front of us and almost get run over--luckily, the driver saw him and stopped.  I couldn't bare the thought of leaving him behind to get run over, attacked by a dog, or in the wrong human hands So I went to save him. He actually came right up to me.  No one has claimed Oreo. He just such a cool bunny and would love to be in a wonderful loving home".

 

As you can see by the second picture, Oreo was in need of a dentist. He had a successful dental visit on July 14th at Avian Exotic Clinic, where they extracted his 4 front teeth! We brought him home and he effortlessly devoured his salad. He will need no special care and can lead a normal life. He's finishing a dose of antibiotics and is ready to be adopted.

MAGIC

 

This adorable little fella was cruelly dumped in the PetSmart parking lot in Santa Cruz. A good Samaritan witnessed, reported, and saved his life. The AFRP cat division in Santa Cruz took him to to the local vet for treatment and kept him there until the AFRP rabbit folks picked him up. He is now being spoiled in the AFRP's care. He appears to be quite young still. He's small in size but has a huge zest for life. He is scheduled to be neutered on 7/21/2010, but can be adopted. Magic has no idea what a traumatic situation this could have resulted in.

MOONSHINE & MIDNIGHT

 

(Adopted 6/11/2010)

 

Delivered (7-20-2010)!

 

 

Midnight and Moonshine have lived together with me since May of 2009. They are 12 and 13 months old, with Moonshine being the older one. They are very much a bonded pair and are practically inseparable. They love fresh basil, sweet pepper, cilantro, carrot tops, dill, lettuces and kale from the farmers market, and they enjoy pieces of apple, berry, carrot, banana, pear and dried cranberries as treats. They love their willow toys, jingly toys, stuffed toys to throw around, chewing on cardboard, and they enjoy having the yellow pages book to tear up as well. They live in an x-pen enclosure, with free access to the living room and dining room, which they’ve really enjoyed. They can do well in smaller spaces as well, as they used to not be roaming bunnies. They coexist with cats peacefully, as there are 2 in the household at the moment. I have found they prefer to have their own space, and when visitors bring other animals, like dogs, to my house the bunnies do not enjoy it. They are litter box trained, haven't had any health problems, are due for their once a year check up in May, and are both fixed. They love to be picked up and cuddled, and even run up to you when you come into the room. They get fed pellets once a day in the morning, and then get hay (timothy and meadow grass) and a handful of lettuce/vegetables in the evening.

FRISBEE

 

Hi my name is Frisbee and I must say I am spectacular!! My owner felt it was unfair that he couldn't give me any attention and surrendered me to the Santa Cruz shelter on 8/13/09. I came in with my sister Kelly and my dad. I am a sweet girl, I love attention and I'm very playful. I'm just a medium size bunny but I have a big personality and lots of love to give whoever takes me home. I'm very curious too and am always poking my head into one place after another to see what is there. On 12-17 this got me in trouble with another bunny and my lip got bit! The folks at AFRP rushed me to the Avian Exotic clinic where I received a "Lip Job" I now have luscious new lips! Luckily no major damage was done and I learned my lesson. I'm real neat and clean and love using my litter box. It keeps my house so much neater and cleaner to be careful like that. Kinda wanna find that special family the AFRP Bunny people keep telling me about. They say my future looks bright......I'll wait until that spark twinkles & know my dream will at last come true. Is it you I have been waiting for?

OROVILLE RESCUED BUNNIES

 

AFRP took part in this happy ending story. Now these beautiful bunnies need their safe, kind hearted forever homes to live happily ever. Available for adoption or foster.

                  

                      APRIL 11, 2010

"I went to Oroville today to assess the situation. It's not good. There are a number of longer haired rabbits; not full angora but still fluff balls. They are all under a year old with 5 or 6 babies. There are approx 18 that are communal living in an outside dilapidated aviary and one that is not part of the 'family' but still living in another part of the aviary. Their caregiver is a 78 year old kind-hearted lady who has done cat and dog rescue for more than 20 years. Last summer she took in 2 rabbits and we all know what happens after that. She's reaching out for help with these little guys and wants to do what is best for them"

TOODLES

 

Toodles was found as a stray on 11/16/09. We don't know his age, but seems quite young. He was just neutered Nov 20, 2009. he is a little skittish which is understandable since he was found stray. He doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body. Even before he was neutered, he didn't seem to be very territorial or problematic.

 

AFRP rescued this cute litl' fella from death row due to limited space at the Santa Cruz Shelter. We have already seen a difference now that he is in a safe warm space. He needs a person to hold him & whisper in his cute ear that he will forever be protected & loved. Once he trusts you, he will become the sweet boy he longs (& deserves) to be!!!

BUTTERSCOTCH

 

I am a delightful adorable "Sugerpie in the Sky" Sweetie who escaped certain death at the Santa Cruz shelter thanks to the awesome AFRP Rabbit Rescue volunteers! I was instantly adopted at PetSmart when I was quite young where they bonded me with a pretty little girlfriend. After I was spayed my instincts changed my bonded relationship my owners felt it best they exchange me. So here I am hoping to find a new home and a neutered boyfriend if possible. I am very gentle and great with kids (my old owner had 4 kids) I don't mind cats or a well behaved dog. I was spayed on Sept 29, 2009 when I was 7 months old.

TINKY TOES

 

This is a sweet little girl w/dainty teeny tiny legs, she is a very lucky lady! We received a call from a distraught woman claiming when she arrived home, a cage w/a bunny was sitting in her driveway! She had the sense to call for help, and now lucky lady TINKY TOES is as safe as can be. On April 6, 2010 she was spayed, only to discover she was pregnant. She is recuperating nicely in a quiet foster home but needs a permanent family who will adore her forever! She may even like a bunny friend to snuggle beside & ensure her past is over & great days lay ahead. Very clean , well behaved, she's a perfect little HOUSE rabbit & deserves pampering. Plenty of cuddles & kisses required!

PING

 

Ping is the largest and dumbest of all the New Mexico group. (almost double the size).  She has a large head and a small butt - You gotta love her! Ping is a very quite shy girl at first because of the traumatic situation she was rescued from. Once she is comfortable she becomes a whole new bunny! She is about 8 months old and was spayed on 9-29-09. These two girls would prefer to go as a pair. Ping would not be a great solo bunny as she needs another bunny to show her how to be a bunny.

 

Ping comes with her favorite green plastic ball!

(Adopted 16 April)

 
TAFFY,
 
She Is very special to us. She had a allergic reaction during her spay and had extensive after care so we spent a lot of time with her. She is 100% recuperated, 100% teenage girl bunny and ready to play! She tries to teach Ping how to be a bunny, but does ditch her once in a while. To simply say, she is one very special girl and was rescued from the Santa Cruz Shelter with her siblings 12 hrs before time was up, so here she is with a second chance to live a long life. She comes with a smile & love in her heart. She was spayed on Sept 29, 2009, and is bonded with Ping.

JUNE BUG

 

June bug AKA "The Binkie Bunny" is a blk/gray/wht ticked shorthaired girl who is spayed and ready to kick her feet up somewhere permanently. She was from a litter of 7 rescued from the Salinas shelter and is hoping we can find her a super fun family to bond with. She was turned 1 years old on May 25, 2009 and is full of energy. SUPER neat and tidy and comes with plenty of attitude! Her attitude got her in trouble with another bunny and her nose got bit and torn. She had to be rushed to the vet where she was given cosmetic surgery. Luckily no major damage, jus some cosmetic repair and is 100% recuperated.

GRACIE

 

Gracie is a stunning Chinchilla gray rabbit found hopping at large in Salinas. She is slightly confused, she wants to be a Lop but one ear keeps popping back up. When she is happy and calm both ears stay down.  She is an independent bunny who prefers not to be held, but likes to hang out where the people are on her own terms. If you understand bunnies this is not unusual. Gracie is quite independent and in our opinion not  a great choice for a family with small children, She would live happily with cats or a well behaved dog. She may do well with a bunny friend if you have a lonely bunny and are looking for a bonded mate. As of Jan 10th she is approximately 1 and a half to 2 years old.

JERRY & BEN

 

Hi, my name is Ben. I’m kind of a famous guy who has ended up in a bad spot. My owner surrendered me  and my partner to the shelter and now I’m looking for a new home. I’m very handsome, neutered, and very friendly. I have  buddy that I’m pretty tight with and would certainly hate to loose him. His name is Jerry, another famous guy. We of course came in together. So we’d like to go out together. It is pretty tough losing a home, but having Jerry makes it easier, at least we are together. We are making an adjustment and like the time with the volunteers. My Buddy Jerry is pretty young so I’m sort of teaching him the way of the world. We are both very friendly and like attention. Jerry is not altered yet because he is too young, but I am so everything is cool. His ears are a little crazy, but I think it gives him an endearing look. Ya think we might be able to shack up w/you ???

RUDY

 

Lovely, Lonely. Rough, & Tough. Rudy is a neutered young male who needs a special home, special person who can coax him out of the protective walls he has developed.

 

Rudy is desperate for love and attention and simply crumbles when he gets deluxe eye/cheek massages! He just desperately craves love! You see it in his eyes. He melts when he gets them! He just needs someone willing to help him put down his guard and get through the walls he has put up!

 

He would love to be a free roaming house/garden bunny. He has the energy, but no room in our care. AFRP Rabbit Rescue has been caring for Rudy for approx 3-4 months but we are currently full and space is limited. It breaks our hearts to keep him in a limited space. We plea with anyone who may have a larger area Rudy could reside in, more important, someone who wants to experience the difference of what Rudy can become with your love.

She prefers a calm family, although she is accustomed to  dogs, cats and children. She is extremely soft and sheds very little. She is perfectly potty trained and sweet as apple pie.

(ONLY ONE LEFT!)They were 8 Weeks old Jan 23rd.  They are not yet spayed or neutered but are available for "Foster to Adopt" (The adoption will not will be final until the spay or neuter is complete).

ANTONIO

I was neutered in late Oct 2009

I was neutered on 9-4-09.

scooped him into  her arms  & held him close to her heart. He needs to be

SABLE

 

Sable is a gorgeous deep dark brown beauty we snitched from certain death at the shelter. She was not happy  being locked up in a cage so we would love to have her in a nice spacious pen & an exercise yard. She may even like another bunny friend. Too beautiful to turn our backs on, she is a medium to large size bun & likes to be held! They call me Tinky Toes because I like to walk on the tip of my toes. I  definitely need another bunny friend. So if you have a neutered boy call Jessica to set up a bonding appointment..

Gwenivere

 

     Gwenivere is one very lucky rescue bunny. She was caught climbing up a tree by a volunteer who was trying to save her from horrendous circumstances. She was constantly being "raped" by wild rabbits enclosed in an outdoor aviary. She endured major trauma but was saved and we couldn't help but take her home and give her love and a safe place to call home.

      It has taken approximately one year for her to completely trust us and has since become an awesome part of the family.  And boy is she spoiled (she earned this right)

      She is the easiest bunny ever, loves to sleep on our bed with the cats and roam free in the garden during the day. She potty trained herself and is so happy to be in a home where no one is out to get her.

      I just want everyone to know that abused, rescued rabbits do make AWESOME friendly pets. It just takes time, patience, and unconditional LOVE.

     Gwennie would like to thank the Rabbit Haven for their relentless devotion to the rescue!

Moo Bunny

 

On a dark lonely night, two Young men were driving along Aguajito road in Monterey California.  As they drove down the winding road they noticed in the other lane what appeared to be a white rabbit!  Talking amongst themselves they determined that surely this could not be a wild rabbit as no wild rabbit would look so sparkly white!  The Young men pulled their car to the side of the road and went for a closer look. 

It was indeed a white rabbit!  Clearly a domesticated breed and thoroughly unfit to survive in the wild, the young men wondered to themselves how the bunny came to be alone, at night, on the side of a road.  On closer inspection they noticed that the bunny had lovely black markings on its body with midnight black ears.  It would also appear that the bunny was unaware of the danger of its surroundings as it was now looking at a grass embankment totally perplexed at the wall of grass that stood before it.

They young men approached the bunny cautiously so as not to startle it.  The white rabbit was apparently used to humans as it did not run away and allowed the young men to pick it up.  Once lifted off the ground the bunny became frightened and began to struggle.  Holding the bunny firmly so as to support its body the young men hurried off to the car to discuss this situation that had resulted in the acquisition of a wet footed white rabbit.

The young men having kind hearts took the bunny home to their apartment and offered the bunny carrots and water.  The white rabbit was nervous after the car ride and showed no interest in food.  Spending a sleepless night on the floor of the bathroom the bunny finally decided that it was interested in the carrots.  Shortly after finishing the carrots the young men decided to take the bunny to a local Veterinary office that specialized in exotic species.  Being intelligent young men they understood that a Rabbit could not go to just any vet.

Avian and Exotic Clinic of the Monterey Peninsula kindly looked the bunny over and declared him healthy, however they did not recognize the bunny nor did they have any idea of who it belonged to.  They also said that they were unable to keep the bunny as they had very little space.  The young men took the white rabbit home determined more than ever to find a safe home for the bunny.  While the young men were at the Clinic they learned of an Open House Event at the Clinic that would be happening the next day.  They decided to attend the Open House and see what they could learn about Bunnies.

 The next day at the Open House the young men came across a Non Profit Animal Rescue Group that saved more than just cats and dogs, they also saved bunnies!  The AFRP (Animal Friends Rescue Project) was delighted to hear about the young men saving the white rabbit.  The young men confessed that they did not know much about rabbits or their care and were concerned about keeping the bunny.  They did not want to have to take it to the Humane Society for fear of the bunny being euthanized.  A woman (read sucker!) was listening to the young men discuss their found bunny with the AFRP staff and was moved by the story.  Having two bunnies of her own whom she loved dearly, she felt she could not keep silent!

 

“I will take good care of him” she nervously proclaimed.  The young men were relieved now that the woman seemed to know about bunnies and had some of her own.  After a brief discussion between the two young men, they decided that indeed she should take the white rabbit.  So the young men called a friend who was at home with the white rabbit and asked that they please bring the white rabbit to the open house, that they had found a “bunny lady” who would know how to help the white rabbit.

 White Rabbit arrived at the Open House and promptly was delivered to the young woman.  She held him close and petted his head and told the white rabbit not to worry that she would make sure he was well taken care of.

 The woman took white rabbit home and set up for him a large play area with sheets and fleece blankets.  Two litter boxes were filled with yummy smelling fresh hay.  She gave the white rabbit fresh greens, a slice of banana and a small piece of watermelon.  White rabbit was delighted.  He danced little circles honking and oinking, then promptly dug at and rearranged the fleece blanket to take a long nap.

 When white rabbit woke from his nap the woman had made him a sea grass hut for him to hide and play in.  There were apple twigs, baskets and even a stuffed toy bunny for white rabbit to snuggle!  The young woman spoke nice words and kissed his head. “You have the markings of a dairy cow, I think I will call you Moo” He was truly a happy little bun now!  “I will find you the best home ever Moo!”  The young woman took Moo to several adoption events until the perfect home was found for him.  Moo moved into his new home a few short weeks later.  His new home spoiled him even more than the foster home did much to his delight.

 Moo is now a husbunn to lovely young girl by the name of Gizmo.  Both live in a forever home full of love, affection, hay and greens!
