Woodstock update!

This little guy came from the lionhead hoard and had been treated for coccidia, fixed, and given all the care he needed.

Like his dozens of siblings, he was extremely bondable…and now he’s part of a happy trio in his new forever home!

His mom says: “woodstock update!!! he LOVES running around my room with instant binkies when i open up their door. he loves bananas and carrot tops!

they are all three peas in a pod and follow eachother like a little bunny train it’s too cute”

We are thrilled he now has 2 best friends through our professional bonding program and is thriving. From horrible conditions outdoors, to living like a king inside.

Congratulations Woodstock and family!

It’s honestly amazing how connected the entire St. Louis bunny community is to Dolly’s.

The other day, someone came into Dolly’s Dream Store - not an adopter, just a local woman who had caught a bunny in her neighborhood a few months ago.

As it turns out, that bunny was from the lionhead hoard we also worked!

And the story gets even better: their bun had 7 babies. Instead of giving them away for free, they’re fixing all of them and built an entire shed with AC, toys, and everything a bunny could dream of.

They even showed us a picture on their phone, and honestly, the little guy was too cute for words.

It’s moments like this that make all the long nights, hard work, and crazy rescues worth it.

Seeing the ripple effect of rescue is incredible. The St. Louis bunny community truly comes together to make sure these buns have the lives they deserve.

Small world, big hearts, and even bigger bunnies.

Us when Dora and Joey haven’t been adopted yet = 😞

These 2 were dumped outside separately, made their way to Dolly’s, found one another, and then were adopted! Hooray! Right? Wrong.

2 years later, their owner brought them back due to no fault of the buns.

Their foster mom says, “I don’t know how this incredible duo is still with us!

We aren’t complaining because they’re the absolute sweetest, but definitely thought someone would have snapped them up by now!!

This duo is so friendly, perfect with our kids, and loves to free roam and explore! Dora is so petite and tiny and is definitely the leader of their little pack with Joey always right on her little bunny tail. These two would be perfect in any home where they can have lots of free roam time.”

Dear Person Who Dumped Traveler,

You said you “liked watching her outside.” What you really meant was you liked watching her struggle.

You enjoyed the novelty of a domestic rabbit running loose, while she endured hunger, parasites, predators, extreme weather, and sheer terror.

You liked the entertainment, not the responsibility.

Traveler isn’t some wild animal who can fend for herself. She was abandoned - left to suffer - because you thought it was fun.

That choice wasn’t kind, it wasn’t harmless, and it certainly wasn’t love. It was neglect.

Now Traveler is safe. She’s been spayed, she’s learning that people can be trusted, and she’s on her way to finding the forever home she deserved from the very beginning.

She may always carry some of the fear you left her with, but she will never again be left to fend for herself in a world she wasn’t built for.

You lost the privilege of having her in your life the moment you let her go. The good news is someone far more worthy will step up and give her the love she was owed all along.

Sincerely,
Everyone who actually loves rabbits

And if Travelers forever family is out there, here is her adoption application: https://forms.gle/xatrAFuJh65GYqTG9

This Saturday, come join us at Dolly’s Dream Store from 10-3 for an adoption event unlike anything you’ve ever seen!

It’s Star Wars Day, so get ready for a galaxy of fun.

We’ll have professional cosplayers on site dressed as the Mandalorian, Director Krennic, Grand Moff, and Darth Vader. All perfect for photos, high-fives, or just to marvel at the costume magic.

Of course, the main stars are still our bunnies! 😉

Come meet our adoptable buns, bring your kids to hang out with the fluffiest crew in the galaxy, or even bring your own buns along for some interstellar socializing.

Whether you’re here to adopt or just to pet some little bunnies, it’s going to be an unforgettable day.

The best part? It’s totally free! So mark your calendars, grab your lightsabers (or carrots) and come experience Star Wars in the most adorable way possible.

Trust us, you don’t want to miss this.

We’ve got a quirky little situation going on with one of our senior bunnies, Binky.

Lately, she’s been experiencing urinary incontinence.

But here’s the thing - Binky still wants to free roam her foster home with her best friend, Ramen Noodle. And when you’re a bunny with a bestie, you don’t let a little bladder issue keep you down.

Her foster mom came up with a brilliant temporary solution: baby diapers.

Yep, you read that right.

When she’s out exploring, Binky rocks a tiny diaper (always supervised, for no more than an hour at a time).

This way she can still enjoy freedom, eat her cecotropes when she needs to, and keep herself a little cleaner until her vet appointment on Sunday.

The result? An adorable bunny toddling around in her little diaper like she owns the place. It’s practical, it’s safe, and it’s ridiculously cute.

Binky may be a senior bun with a leaky bladder, but she’s also a reminder that with creativity and care, our bunnies can still live their best lives.

P.S. Until August 31st, Facebook will give us a “performance bonus” if posts do well each month. It’s enough to cover most of a bunnies vetting, which is a huge deal to us. Every time you like/comment more than 4 words/share a post, you’re helping our bunnies! It really does matter. Please go give some love to our most recent posts. Thank you!

We just had the privilege of helping someone through our Bunny Pet Food Pantry and it’s one of those reminders of why this program exists in the first place.

Yesterday, we were able to give 2 bags of food to a woman whose mom had been in the hospital.

On top of that heavy stress, she’s also caring for her bunny and doing her absolute best to make sure he never goes without.

Life threw more than enough her way, so the last thing she needed was to worry about how to fill her rabbit’s food bowl.

That’s where the pantry came in. A couple of bags of pellets and suddenly a huge weight was lifted.

Sometimes it’s not just about feeding a bunny - it’s about giving their human the peace of mind and reassurance that they can keep going.

The bunny pictured isn’t the one we helped (we keep those details private), but their face represents what every rabbit in the pantry program deserves: a full belly, soft hay, and a family who doesn’t have to choose between their own emergencies and their pet’s needs.

If you’d like to support the Bunny Pet Food Pantry, you can send items directly through our Amazon wishlist (just note it’s for the pantry): https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/16T1VVSC5VNK5?ref_=wl_share

What may seem like a simple bag of pellets or box of hay can be the very thing that keeps a bunny in their home.

Thank you for helping us keep this program alive. You’re making a bigger difference than you know.

Cobbler update!

This morning he enjoyed his greens like a true gentleman and for the first time he can now sit all the way up on his own!

He’s still a little wobbly and displaying a bit of head tilt, but he’s receiving treatment for everything under the sun and we’re already seeing so much progress.

It’s hard to believe that just days ago he could barely move without help, and now here he is, proudly balancing and working those bunny muscles like it’s his personal bootcamp.

Every day with him is a reminder that bunnies are some of the most resilient animals out there.

Now, we don’t technically play favorites around here…but if we did, Cobbler would be way up there on the list.

He’s sweet, determined, and so grateful for every bit of love.

We can’t wait to keep cheering him on as he continues healing.

If you would like to support Cobbler, please consider donating toward his care: http://dollysdreamhome.org/donate

Oh Buckets.

Buckets was all set to go to his forever home last Saturday, fully vetted, suitcase packed, whiskers combed.

Then the night before adoption, he decided to give us all a heart attack by…choking. Immediately we start him on meds to prevent aspirate pneumonia and schedule a vet appointment. But last night, the night before his appointment, he choked again!

So off to the vet we go. He gets meds, a full work-up, even an esophagus contrast study (which is just a fancy way of saying “we x-rayed his throat to see if it’s weird-shaped”). Teeth? Perfect. Esophagus? Perfect. Bunny? Perfect.

Diagnosis? He’s just a chunky little man who gets so excited about pellets that he tries to eat them like he’s competing in a speed-eating contest at the county fair.

So now his meals will come “soaked and slow” like a bunny Michelin-star chef special.

Good news: Buckets has the all clear to head to his forever home this Saturday.

Bad news: His little pellet eating stunt racked up some surprise medical bills.

If you’d like to help cover the cost of his testing, we’d be forever grateful: http://dollysdreamhome.org/donaten

Whoever dumped Boone in the woods…bold move. Truly visionary. Because you gave up a 1 year old bunny who is basically perfect.

Boone isn’t just wonderful - he’s employable.

While other rabbits are at home chewing baseboards, Boone goes to work with his foster mom at a school.

He has better attendance than most kids, shows up on time and doesn’t even fake a cough to get out of it.

So yeah, the person who abandoned him really missed out.

Boone is sweet, social, hilarious, and 100% adoptable.

Whoever let him go was clearly not ready for a rabbit of his caliber. Their loss, your forever bun.

Someone came into Dolly’s Dream Store today griping that the shop was “too pink.”

Sir…let’s unpack this.

You walked into a bunny rescue storefront and were surprised that it wasn’t decorated like a Bass Pro Shop? You expected camouflage hay bales and deer heads on the wall? My guy, you are in the wrong franchise.

Dolly’s Dream Home is like the Barbie Dream House. Pink.

If the color pink makes you uncomfortable, that sounds like a personal problem. Pink is joy, love, bubblegum, Pepto-Bismol, and bunnies’ little noses all rolled into one.

If your masculinity can be taken down by a wall color, it was hanging by a thread to begin with.

Also, the place is literally full of rabbits. Soft, fluffy, snuggly rabbits. And you thought the pink was the issue? That’s like walking into a bakery, seeing cakes everywhere, and complaining the sprinkles are “too colorful.”

Newsflash: the bunnies don’t mind the pink. They are too busy plotting snack heists and flopping dramatically. If anything, they like it better than beige walls. Beige is for tax offices, not bunny havens.

So to the man who bravely endured the horrors of a pink rescue shop: congratulations, you survived. Please accept this participation ribbon (spoiler: it’s pink).
