We hosted 2 bunny yoga sessions last week!

They were such a blast that we went ahead and booked 2 more for the year.

Once those tickets are gone, that’s it - no more bunny assisted relaxation until 2026. Consider this your gentle nudge from the universe…and also from several very judgmental rabbits.

They were ridiculously fun. Our volunteers had a great time, the bunnies had a great time, and one of our volunteers even put together this adorable video that pretty much melts your stress on sight.

Every ticket directly supports the buns, as always. And right now there’s a 2-for-1 deal, which is basically the universe saying: go stretch with rabbits. You deserve this.

“I contacted them. They aren't accepting bunnies. It’s getting to the point we may have to release them.”

We got this message yesterday and we need to say this clearly: there is never a point where you “have to” release your rabbits. Releasing a domestic rabbit is a death sentence.

They are prey animals with zero survival instincts outdoors. They don’t forage like wild rabbits, they don’t know what predators look like, and they absolutely cannot survive the elements. Dumping is not an option. Ever.

If a rescue is already full of unwanted pets, the answer is not to abandon your unwanted pets - it’s to be responsible while you wait. That means doing your research, keeping them safe indoors, and reaching out to all the organizations we directed you to, not just the first one.

Spaces open. Waitlists move. People adopt. But once you dump a rabbit, you don’t get a second chance.

We, and the rescues we recommended, work nonstop because abandoned rabbits end up starving, freezing, hit by cars, mauled by dogs, eaten by hawks, or slowly dying from parasites. That is the reality.

If you’re on a waitlist, that means we want to help - and we will, as soon as space safely allows.

In the meantime, your responsibility as their owner doesn’t disappear. They rely on you for everything. Keep them inside. Keep them fed. Keep them alive.

Domestic rabbits cannot survive outside. Full stop.

Since making our educational post about ARBA, we’ve dealt with a wave of online harassment. Normally we shrug that off. But now they’re aiming it at Melted Marshmallow himself.

Here are just 2 of the comments being shared about him:

“This is the same rescue that's forcing an angora that was in absolutely hideous condition to keep living because of internet clout. they got an angora that was covered in f***s and parasites. It was part of an animal hoarding situation. The kind thing would have been to humanely euthanize the poor thing. So now it's surviving and they're posting it like crazy.”

“Not surprised. All these rescues have the largest egos and most severe savior and superiority complexes as well. All while making animals suffer way worse than any breeder solely by forcing animals who are in clear emotional distress to stay alive instead of humanely culling or euthanizing. All for the sake of garnering clout for "giving them a chance"”

Yikes. How deeply ignorant. How sad that these people would rather have him euthanized him than given him a chance.

Melted Marshmallow came to us in terrible condition because of years of neglect from his previous owners. He didn’t choose to live like that. He didn’t choose the fleas, the parasites, the severe matting, the f***s stuck to his skin, or the pain. People did that to him.

We drove over 8 hours round trip to get him out of that situation. And within 48 hours, he wasn’t just surviving - he was already healing. We had treated him for parasites, removed hundreds upon hundreds of fleas, dewormed him, run a f***l, gotten him a full veterinary exam, started him on eye drops for his infection (which is now almost completely cleared), and shaved off every bit of matting and trapped f***s.

Why wouldn’t we share his progress? You ask for updates. You cheer him on. And more importantly, he shows people what is possible when an animal who has been failed for years finally gets proper care. Cases like his are absolutely fixable. They just require effort.

He deserved that. He deserved a chance. He deserved to live long enough to know what safety feels like.

The idea that the humane choice would have been to euthanize a bunny who is now comfortable, healing, playful, and thriving says far more about the people writing these comments than it does about us or him.

We will keep doing exactly what we’re doing: giving neglected rabbits a real shot at life, sharing their journeys, and proving - again and again - that neglect is not a death sentence unless people decide it should be.

Melted Marshmallow is doing incredible. And that will always be worth every mile driven, every hour spent, every insult thrown, and every single effort made.

To whoever dumped Noot Noot in a park,

Why? Seriously, is something legitimately wrong with you?

She’s a domestic rabbit. She never stood a chance. She walked right up to the first human she saw because she’s trusting, sweet, and has all the survival instincts of a warm croissant.

That’s not a flaw. That’s who rabbits are when they’re loved.

And leaving her with her carrier and the door open didn’t make it better. It didn’t somehow make it “responsible.” It just meant the pouring rain soaked her, her carrier, her hay, and everything she had left in the world.

Why would you leave a bunny in a park, in stormy weather, completely defenseless? And how long has she not had appropriate food for? She is skin and bones.

Domestic bunnies cannot survive outside. Not for long. Not even the “tough” ones. Not with predators, parasites, cars, weather, or people who don’t mean well.

But thankfully, a kind Samaritan found her and brought her to Dolly’s, where she’ll be properly taken care of.

If you’d like to help us cover her vet care, every bit makes a difference. Noot Noot deserves the world, and now she finally has a chance at it.

Pocket has the antics of a children’s book character.

Pocket has a daily ritual that absolutely cracks us up: he crawls under his bed (yes, under), makes sure you’re watching, and then strolls around with it on his back like a very proud, very determined little turtle.

And when he’s done? He pops out and lovingly grooms the bed…as if thanking it for its service.

Pocket is sweet, gentle, hilarious, and endlessly entertaining. He’s fully vetted and beyond ready for a forever home that will appreciate his incredible personality.

We can’t believe his family was about to dump him outside!

If you want a bunny who will make you laugh every single day, Pocket is your guy.

Hello,

My name is Macaroni - or, as my foster mom likes to call me, “oh no, not my phone charger, please don’t chew that again.” I think it’s a very long and fancy name.

Someone left me outside on my own and when Dolly’s caught me back in August, I was in pretty rough shape. I had some very nasty parasites and, even with treatment, I needed a lot of care.

They said I lost most of my bodyweight aka my waist was snatched. I was a string bean. I was ready to walk on the runway. I was too ready for hot boy summer.

But don’t worry, I’ve been working hard on my snacks and I’ve officially fluffed back up. Now I’m fully vetted, neutered, and feeling better than ever.

My foster wants you to know that I’m a sweet, laid back boy who wants two things in life: snacks and pets. I have excellent litterbox manners, I love my cozy setup, and I am extremely fond of receiving kitty-cat smooches. (Cats are surprisingly nice!)

I’m ready for a forever home that appreciates a gentle little noodle like me. If you’re looking for a calm, loving bun who’s been through a lot and still chooses to trust, I’d really like to meet you.

We’re not trying to break the internet…but Cobbler and Melted Marshmallow just had their very first meet and greet.

Both boys are still medically needy, are sharing the same home, and they’ve both been hinting that they’d really like a friend.

So we thought, why not let them meet under supervision and see what happens?

Melted Marshmallow wasn’t quite sure what to think - very “um, hello?? who is he and why is he so confident?” - but we know having a buddy will help him come out of his shell.

Cobbler, on the other hand, took one look at him and said, “Ah yes. This one is mine.” He chinned him repeatedly to make it official, then immediately started grooming Melted Marshmallow like he’d been waiting his whole life for this moment.

Cobbler is absolutely over the moon and we think he might be exactly what Melted Marshmallow needs.

Once both boys are fully fixed up and cleared, we’re seriously considering making them permanent best friends.

Not even 10 minutes ago, someone called asking if they could get a “deal” if they “bought” 4 rabbits at once - 3 for their kids and 1 for themselves.

We explained bonding, territorial behavior, space requirements, and why rabbits generally don’t enjoy being divvied up like party favors (super nicely, we swear)…but they’d “had bunnies before,” so weren’t interested in hearing any of that.

For anyone who doesn’t know, we actually lose money on every single adoption. We put over $350 into each rabbit for spay/neuter, microchipping, deworming, exams, f***ls, and care. Our adoption fee is $100. We do that so our rabbits can leave with full veterinary care, not a discount tag.

So no, we don’t offer “buy multiple bunnies” deals. We’re not a wholesale warehouse. We’re a rescue making sure every bunny goes to the right home with the right setup and the right understanding - not just the right price.

Pictured is what Bojangles (now Teddy) thinks of that call.

Earlier this year, we got reports of a dumped bunny. Standard. No biggie, right?

Wrong.

This bunny was IMPOSSIBLE to catch. Several days, tons of volunteers, and lots of running later, we finally caught the bunny, who we aptly named Impossible.

Her mom shared this update and we couldn’t be more thrilled, “TOO Cool For The Wild! 😎

Today marks one month with Sylvie (Impossible).

Thank you to everyone at Dolly’s who helped catch this crazy girl 💗 Here’s to FUREVER!!

Photo credit goes to her momma for wanting photos for every occasion so far 😅”

We are thrilled that Impossible is so spoiled. This is the kind of life she’s always deserved, not the one where she was dumped outside.

Impossible and family, congratulations!

Pocket is ready to find his forever home!

Pocket is a 4 year old bun whose former owners told us they’d dump him outside if we didn’t take him immediately. So of course we grabbed him, got him fully vetted, neutered, and settled into a foster home…where he is now living his absolute best life.

And according to his vet? He is one of the most buff, muscular rabbits she has ever seen. Pocket did not come to play - he came to flex.

His foster mom lovingly calls him Skidmark thanks to his skinny little brown tail. In her own words:

“He loves to play with his mat. He grooms it. He rolls his treat ball all around the room. He is getting more brave and likes to forage around in the closet. We can pet him as much as we want. He is super sweet. He figured out the litterbox except a random p**p here and there. He's a good boy. His tail is super skinny and looks like a skidmark and I'm obsessed with his butt!!!”

Pocket is sweet, hilarious, affectionate, and built like a tiny gym bro who also enjoys soft mats and closet adventures.

If you’re looking for a rabbit with personality, confidence, and a truly unforgettable rear end…Pocket is your guy.

We’re so sad to share that Forklift passed away just before his scheduled vet exam for a corneal ulcer.

When we caught him after he’d been dumped outside, we knew right away he was one of those once in a lifetime bunnies. He was endlessly playful - the kind of bunny who thought that every day was the best day ever.

So we placed him in a foster home where he could free roam, explore, and soak up every bit of attention he adored.

He scratched his eye while playing - because sometimes he played like a puppy who never learned the word careful - and we immediately did a virtual vet consult, then booked the earliest appointment. Everything was lined up for him to get treated.

But he didn’t make it to that appointment. His foster mom found him peacefully passed, looking almost asleep, his head gently resting on the edge of his litter box. It was as soft and quiet as a passing could be.

As we do with all unexpected losses, we got a necropsy.

It showed that Forklift suffered a heart attack caused by underlying genetic heart disease. The corneal ulcer had absolutely nothing to do with his passing. He lived fully right up until the very end - then his heart simply gave out. Heart disease is incredibly rare in rabbits, so losing him this way feels even more shocking.

We’re devastated. And his foster mom, who he trusted with every part of himself, is heartbroken. You can see in every video how deeply he loved her. She actually helped catch him too.

What hurts even more is knowing he got an inquiry this morning from what would have been a perfect forever family. He was so close to the life he deserved.

Forklift was loved. He was safe. He was cherished. And he left this world knowing all of that.

Thank you for making rescues like his possible. It wasn’t the ending we hoped for, but he left this world warm, loved, and part of a family - not cold and alone behind a Taco Bell.

In the heat of summer, we found Truman trying his best to survive after being dumped outside.

He wasn’t a baby - just a very tiny, very terrified little bunny who had absolutely no idea what to do out there.

Thankfully, our volunteer rescue team was able to catch him safely and bring him into our program. He got fully vetted, settled in, then before long…he was adopted into the cutest home.

His mom sends us constant updates and Truman is now living his best life with not just one, but two bunny BFFs, thanks to our professional bonding program.

He went from scared and alone to snuggled, spoiled, and completely adored.

We just wanted to share his transformation in the photos below, because stories like his remind us why this rescue work matters so much.
