Do you know what's really hard? Saying goodbye. Tomorrow Danny Zuko and Sprinkles will leave to go to their new foster home. I know that I've been begging for foster homes, and the end goal is not for them to stay with us forever but to find their forever homes instead.
It's just a very hard for me to see my little friends leave whether they're going to a foster home or they're going to their forever home I am always very anxious on the day that they leave and a few days after until I know that they're doing well and are happy.

Sprinkles has never gone to a foster home before. He has always been here with us and Danny Zuko did go to a foster home for a very short period but again she came back; in fact she was born here so she's been with us since she was a brand new baby bunny.

It's an incredibly bittersweet time when the one goal that you're trying to reach is coming together but the other side of that coin is not having those little friends in your sight that you have loved for their whole lives.

Although, bunnies will be gone to foster homes, they will still be under our care but the thought of this experience of caring for so many little lives in my home is coming to an end, leaves me with a lump in my throat and my eyes getting teary.

I never ever thought that I could ever foster an animal or run a rescue for goodness sake as the idea of having to say goodbye would kill me, but yet I have said goodbye hundreds of times now, and somehow I'm still here.

Danny Zuko and Sprinkles won't be "gone", they just won't be "here". I know they will enjoy all of the love and attention just for them. I hope they will know how much they are loved.

Yesterday you heard me beg and plead for help.
I cried for people to come to our aid and foster.

You guys helped so much! You heard the desperation in my post and you shared all over.

By the end of the day there had been so many messages and connections made, that today I am feeling so optimistic that our goal to become a foster based rescue is going to come to fruition.

We have two very strong possibilities to foster 2 sets of rabbits and another possible option for a third.

If that comes to play, then we will be left with Joey and Chandler and we can work on bonding them back together.
We will also have Maurice, but he has a vet appointment this Saturday (if you would like to donate towards that see our etransfer info in the comments) to see about his recurring cheilitis.

This possible outcome is perfect and so doable.
Imagine how much more time I will have to actually work harder to share our animals, promote our rescue, build connections, and bring in much needed funds for vetting, supplies, and future little friends who we will rescue.

We're so blessed to have such an amazing following and supporters like you who hear what is actually being said and aim to help however you can.

We can't do this alone, and you have shown again and again over the years that we don't have to.

Thank you so much for all YOU do.
❤️

We leave you with adorable Maurice patiently waiting for his forever home to come along once he has the all clear to be adopted.

Fluffy is a 4 year old neutered male.
He recently lost his bonded friend and would love another bun to love and snuggle with for a long time.
Fluffy is a calm guy. He loves to explore, and dig toys and toss them right out between his back legs 🤭
Please contact us for more information about sweet Fluffy.

Please listen carefully 🙏

This needs to be heard and spread far and wide!!!

I can't do this anymore.

WE NEED FOSTERS!!!!

Last night at almost midnight our carbon monoxide detector went off.
I took a few minutes to evaluate the situation and circumstances and whether or not I felt like there was a serious issue.

I called 9-1-1 and 3 amazing firefighters came and gave us the all clear. Just a glitch in the detector.

I kept thinking though... WHAT IF it had been an actual situation and we needed to evacuate.

I've got 2 small children, pets of my own, and then our sweet little friends.

If you remember the panic back in the winter from our kitchen fire in the middle of the night I was almost there again but on a smaller scale.

I said then, and I'll say it again; I would probably die trying to save all of these sweet souls from my home.

The fact that it's been 4 years now for every bunny left that is here without being adopted, or that no person or family has shown an interest in fostering has me feeling so many things.

I'm frustrated, scared, sad, angry, plus so much more.

I will never give up on these little ones. I made them that promise long ago, but I am shouting from the rooftops that we NEED foster homes at the very least.
Forever homes would be ideal.

I had a good cry on the weekend about the sadness I feel for these friends of ours just sitting here, waiting, not living the best lives they deserve. Waiting for their turn to come out of their enclosures for their free time.

All of this said, I'm sure there's thoughts that maybe I am not fit to be doing this. The answer is I am completely fit, and able. I think I am feeling what any other rescuer would feel after 4 years of seeing the sweetest animals still waiting. Frustration, exhaustion and despair.
I am 1 million percent committed to these guys and will continue to run this rescue when they have all found homes, but it will be not in the place of keeping any here.

I will always put animals first and strive to save them the best I can, but it will be from a distance.

I love these beautiful souls more than anyone could ever understand and I want to see them blossom and grow and make another person or family incredibly happy like so many of their other friends have done.

So, PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE...share this message, consider fostering, adopting from us, help us get the message across far and wide.

We appreciate you and all you do for us constantly.

My phone has recovered from surgery and it's back in my hands!!!

Now it's the perfect time to say that we're planning our BIG CLEAN again and looking for a few amazing people to watch one or two of our sweet little friends while we get this space back into tip top condition.

I cant believe it's already been a year since we ran this.

To be honest we could do a big clean every month but it's not realistic.

What would help even more instead would be if we had some people step up to foster a little friend from us.

We are trying REALLY HARD to switch to a foster based rescue, but it's taking forever!

We want so badly for the remaining bunnies here to be adopted, and the ones already in foster homes.

It's been long enough.
Until then we desperately need foster homes for Fluffy, Flopsy, Danny Zuko and Sprinkles.

Cookie Dough and Pinky are in foster homes and would love a forever home of their own.

Please help us to make this happen ❤️

For now though, if you are interested in fostering during our BIG CLEAN, please send us a message to chat.
It would help us out so much.

Today we’re reaching out to you, our followers and supporters to seek your thoughts and ideas on businesses who may like to join us in a large fundraiser, brand/business promotion we are planning for the Fall.

These stores or shops can be online or in person.

The goal of the fundraiser is to raise funds of course, but also promote and share new businesses, places that could use some attention, and any in between.

So if you know of a place, or own a business and you would like to be included, or could suggest a business that may be interested please let us know or have them reach out to us for more information.

“It takes a village” to make a difference, and we’re looking for your help to make that happen.

Good Wednesday morning all!

Sorry for the silence the last few days. My phone suffered a traumatic injury and I am awaiting for it to go under surgery. All of my photos, numbers, my whole life is on there and I cannot get to it. I don’t have anything on my iPad I’ve been using except access to the page. I can’t even check our emails so if anyone has sent anything I have not been able to check. If you want to send all correspondence here for now it would be great!

Our fosters normally message right to the page so I haven’t been concerned about missing anything there.

Please bare with us as we get back to being able to post photos. I find this iPad does not take the best photos so I haven’t bothered using it to catch cute moments in action.

My key takeaway during these last few days has been this: In a world where technology has taken over, a pen and paper are just as handy when it comes to remembering passwords. You just have to remember where you put those notes and continue to update them when they’re changed.

I leave you with the only photo I have on my iPad.

PLEASE if you can, take a moment and SHARE this post far and wide!

We are in an urgent need to find foster homes BUT preferably FOREVER HOMES for Danny Zuko and Sprinkles, Fluffy, and Flopsy.

We will also be looking for a forever home for Maurice once he is finally cleared to be adopted.

We are switching to a foster based rescue only.

For 4 years the majority of the animals we have rescued have come to one place. It has been a pleasure and a joy to care for them all and love them, however it's beyond time that we make this necessary switch.

The rabbits here have been with us for 4 years!!! WHY? 4 years is TOO LONG to not be adopted.
To not have a single application sent. To not be questioned about.

There is nothing wrong with these little ones. There is nothing wrong with our rescue. We rescue little ones, care for them, vet them, and search for their happily ever afters.
Not one accusation, or rumor that has ever been spread has been true.

We do not breed our animals, we do not let them suffer. It took us a while to get everyone spayed/neutered because there were MANY, and it took a long time to raise those funds.

Please stop overlooking our sweet rabbits, and guinea pigs.
They are just as deserving as every other rabbit and other small animal in any other rescue around.

I'm tired of seeing these little faces look at me every day, from their 4x4 enclosures wondering and waiting when it will be their turn.
Waiting for their time out of their pens for free time.

I'm tired of living in the past wondering if they're sitting here because people believed others from years ago.

I'm tired of seeing hundreds of bunnies and guinea pigs on Kijiji for sale, and hearing of people I know having bought a rabbit instead of adopting one that is already spayed/neutered, litter trained and social.

Please help us find forever homes for the ones remaining.
My heart truly breaks for them every day.
