Hi, so I posted last week about helping out a rescue that is over-run with bunnies and the owners are a bit overwhelmed!  So I love having bunnies around and agreed to foster one or two bunnies for them and help with their care.

Here is my first bunny: He is 5 months old and BIG! The story was they rescued him and his sister (she was adopted already) and this breed of rabbit are bred for hunting dogs to chase?!?! I had no idea that people did things like that, but the guy who owned them had them vet checked and surrendered them to the rescue. He is gorgeous and so sleek! I just love his ears!! As you will see in the picture. His name is Arizona. He is doing great, he loves veggies and hay and loves to run around and be mischievous!

The harlequin ears again... who was it recently that had them too, but loppy? Howey? A bun named Howey? They are very flashy.
Bred for being chased by dogs... another questionable purpose, #$#%^&^*&*&%^%$&$&%#^&*~~~!!!! Bunnies have a hard lot on this earth. Is he fast? he looks racey.
Arizona looks to me like an artist's muse... like he was made from china and pure white in the beginning and then a painter came and dotted on him with brush and color...

When I talkt he hubby into buying a house, I'm going to make sure it either has a couple spare rooms or a finished basement so I can foster a bunch of bunnies. there are so many at the humane society that no one has room to foster Poor buns..

Hubby said that when we get a house I can have up to 4 buns! And I assume he means 4 permanent and some additional fosters  I can't wait to foster and am so sad I don't have the room for it now.

Of course, the chances of me giving the foster bunnies back are rather slim... hehe

Hahaha Monkey! Me too! I am in LOVE with Arizona - he's the coolest rabbit I ever saw! I am going to look up more information on him since someone identified his breed as Rhinelander. Thanks Jersey and Elrohwen!
 

He's a sweet bunny now that I have him, I have been working on his social skills. You can tell he was terrified of people (probably the guy who surrendered him and his sister to the rescue) now he is friendly and comes to greet my boyfriend and I...so that is a good sign! I am really enjoying this experience working with the rescue! They called me today and said they are getting 2 more bunnies that someone is surrendering!! It just makes me sad that people don't give them a chance, they are great animals and make even better family members! I guess people don't see them like we do on BB!
