We have some good news…and some "please look away while I cry" news.

The good news? Thanks to Facebook's Creator Program, your likes, comments, and shares earned the rescue almost $430 last month! Every time you interact with our posts, you're genuinely helping rabbits. So keep liking, commenting, sharing, and commenting your favorite bunny memes. It really does make a difference.

The other news? We just paid…$6,154.05 in vet bills.

Between all of our emergency surgeries, medications, diagnostics, and all the unexpectedly severe cases we've taken in recently, the bills add up fast. And every week we're hearing about even more dumped rabbits we'd love to help as soon as space opens up.

Also, we'd like to formally blame Cobbler.

While we've been busy paying vet bills, he's been helping himself to the customer treats. We have video evidence that this tiny criminal has absolutely no remorse. He even goes back for seconds!

If you'd like to help offset our latest round of vet bills (or fund Cobbler's apparent snack addiction), we'd be incredibly grateful for your help: http://dollysdreamhome.org/donate

Habanero is accepting applications.

Not for a forever family. For a best friend.

His last roommates were...let's just say the relationship didn't work out. They made it very clear they weren't interested in being part of Team Habanero, so he's now flying solo.

We think he deserves better anyway.

When Habanero first arrived, he was convinced the world was a pretty scary place. He spent most of his time hiding and wanted absolutely nothing to do with humans.

Now? He's getting braver every day.

He's started periscoping for treats, sniffing curious hands and slowly realizing that maybe people aren't so bad after all. He's still a shy guy who'd rather not be picked up, but we have a feeling the right bunny friend would help him blossom.

Somewhere out there is another rabbit who's also looking for their person...and their husbun.

Habanero is searching high and low.

Mostly low because he’s a rabbit.

But he's searching.

Hey all, weird thing we have to clarify.

Lately, we've had a surprising number of families come into Dolly's Dream Home Rabbit Rescue expecting to play with rabbits. We've even had people disappointed during Read to Rabbits because the bunnies are there to be read to and gently pet - not played with.

We totally understand the excitement. Rabbits are adorable. But rabbits generally don't enjoy being "played with." They're prey animals and the vast majority prefer snacks, gentle pets, and playing with their toys - on their terms.

Dolly's Dream Store is a bunny supply shop. Every Saturday from 10-3, some of our foster rabbits come to the store so people can meet them, learn about rabbit care, and adopt them. During the weekdays, there aren't rabbits at the store.

We also found out today that a Montessori school showed up for a field trip here...while we were closed. We had absolutely no idea this was happening.

While we'd absolutely love to educate kids about rabbits, we wouldn't host an unscheduled field trip. If a school wants to visit, we'd be happy to schedule an educational program during our Saturday hours.

We promise we're not secretly running a bunny petting zoo. If we were, we'd probably never get any work done.

Today, Breadstick got adopted.

Then Nilla Wafer got adopted.

So...now it's your turn.

Today ONLY, all of our plushies are 30% off in our online shop!

Can't adopt a real rabbit right now? Live too far away? Have a spouse who keeps saying, "No more animals"?

Adopt a stuffie instead. They're basically the ideal pet.

They've never chewed a baseboard.

They've never knocked over a water bowl at 3am.

They've never looked you dead in the eyes while ignoring a $60 toy in favor of eating the Amazon box it came in.

They don't need a litter box, annual checkups, or emergency nail trims because someone somehow got their foot stuck in a hay rack.

Just unlimited cuddles and zero destruction.

Best of all, every plushie you "adopt" helps us care for the real rabbits who are still waiting for their forever homes. Your purchase helps cover vet bills because we have tons to pay off right now.

Grow your bunny family today...with the one bunny that's guaranteed not to eat your phone charger aka spicy hay.

This was supposed to be an "Adopt Me" post for Breadstick.

Oops.

On Cobbler Day, we had an incredible balloon artist create Cobbler balloons and an amazing balloon arch for the event. He and his family had adopted from us before. They all stopped by to see his work.

Then they made one tiny mistake...they looked at Breadstick.

A few nose boops, some bunny flirting, and suddenly they were asking about adoption.

Breadstick has been in our bonding program to become friends with their buns (also Dolly’s alums) named Mimi and Jimmy Buffett. It’s going wonderfully.

So instead of asking you to adopt Breadstick, we're here to tell you she already found exactly what every rescue bunny dreams of: a family who came for balloons...and accidentally left with a whole lot more.

Congratulations Breadstick.

Despite her name, Crazy Paws isn't actually crazy.

She's just...adorably quirky.

When she first arrived, she'd survived being dumped outside and was literally living in groundhog tunnels. For such a tiny bunny, the world had to feel like a pretty scary place.

Now she's discovering that life indoors is a whole lot nicer.

Her foster says, "This gorgeous girl is so sweet and I can't get enough of her EARS.

She's more on the timid/shy side at the moment but she's getting braver each day (she came out of her pen today and chinned some tunnels!!) we can't wait to see how her personality blossoms 🥰

So far we know:

- she's absolutely unbothered by cats & dogs, the timid/shy side we mentioned only applies to humans without oxbow biscuits in hand.
- when given a timothy hay "sucker" treat she prefers to eat only the stick, lil weirdo
- she doesn't care for romaine, she's our first bunny we've had that had opinions on greens and I think that's special 🥹
- excellent litterbox habits from the second we got her & she keeps a tidy pen, for a girl that was literally dug out of groundhog tunnels not that long ago we are impressed"

We'd love nothing more than for Crazy Paws to find a bunny friend of her own.

She's already learning that people can be kind. Now she just needs another rabbit to show her what it's like to flop beside your best friend every night.

We need to tell you about Gabe.

Some people love rabbits.

Gabe built his life around them.

He's working toward a career in animal welfare and anyone who knows him knows his rabbits are his whole world. They didn't just become pets - they changed the direction of his life.

Gabe adopted Lillian and Spicy (now Lambert) from Dolly's. Both live with chronic illnesses and, by complete chance, they found one another.

Watching the 3 of them together on TikTok, it's impossible not to smile. His rabbits hit the jackpot the day they went home with him.

Inspired by Lillian, Gabe even wrote a children's book from her point of view, sharing her story in a way that's heartfelt, funny, and perfect for rabbit lovers of all ages.

Come meet Gabe this Saturday, August 1, from 2-5pm at Dolly's Dream Store! He'll have copies of his book available and he'll be signing them throughout the afternoon.

Can't make it in? If you order a copy online that day, Gabe will sign it too!

Lillian and Lambert may not have had the easiest start in life, but they found exactly the person they were meant to find. And now they're helping inspire the next generation of bunny lovers through Gabe's story.

This is Chubby Cheeks.

We've held off on introducing him because, for a while, we genuinely weren't sure he was going to make it.

Chubby Cheeks is the dad of our splayed legged babies. Like them, he was dumped outside.

When he arrived, he was missing most of his nose, covered in severe fur mites, battling an upper respiratory infection, an eye infection, and dealing with several other medical issues.

He'd clearly been through more than any rabbit ever should.

But over the last few weeks, he's completely transformed.

His fur has grown back beautifully, he's feeling better every day, and his personality has started to shine.

He's finally healthy enough to be scheduled for his neuter, which felt impossible just a few weeks ago.

We're so excited to watch this handsome guy start the next chapter of his life. We almost lost him before we ever had the chance to introduce him, but now he's become one of the most magnificent rabbits in our care.

We can't wait until he's ready to find a forever family.

We've been getting quite a few messages lately from people worried that other places are copying our programs, events, and fundraising ideas.

Our response? Please use them. Ask us if you have questions or need help with anything. We hope it helps your bunnies!

We didn't create these programs so Dolly's could be the only rescue doing them. We created them because they help rabbits. If another rescue sees something we're doing and thinks, "Hey, that could help us save more lives," then we hope they give it a try.

The more rescues hosting reading programs, food pantries, nursing home visits, creative fundraisers, do canvas paintings, and community events, the better. Rabbits don't care who came up with the idea - they just benefit from more people helping.

We've always believed in collaboration over competition.

There are far too many rabbits needing help for rescues to waste energy worrying about who thought of what first.

So if something we created inspires another rescue or another person to help even one more rabbit, that's a pretty great compliment.

Besides...we'll probably be busy thinking up our next slightly crazy idea anyway. If you have fun ideas too, drop them in the comments below!
