As we kick off the new year, I want to thank everyone who has ever supported us in anyway. Rescue work is hard, exhausting, and never ending. We’ve come so far but we have so far to go! So much of our efforts have been spent caring for bunnies or renovating rescue buildings. There’s been no time left over for fundraising. When you wear too many hats, it’s hard to wear any of them well. We need more leadership as well as more volunteers. I am hoping to fill two desperately needed volunteer positions in 2026, asap. We need a fundraising coordinator and an adoptions coordinator. Preferably filled by those with experience in these areas. PM us if you are interested in volunteering or becoming part of our leadership team. It took me way too long to build our Zeffy fundraiser, but I finally completed it last month. Zeffy is the nonprofit version of GoFundMe. Here is the link: zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/help-romeo-rabbit-rescue-build-a-new-rescue-center-in-armada-mi. You can also find the link in our bio. Make one time donations or set up monthly donations. Our accounts have completely flatlined since we had to empty our savings account in November to have $12k worth of work done on our pole barn. We have nothing left to put towards our vet balances, finish paying our electrician to complete his work or our hvac to complete his work. Or, anything else that needs to be done. We should be fundraising like hell, but there’s no time for that because we’re busy saving lives. If you have fundraising experience, we need you! If you have dollars to spare, we need your donations! Click on our Zeffy link to read about our mission, the work we’ve done, the work we have left to do, and see itemized expenses we need to raise funds for. Some we’ve already paid but had to take out loans for. Some we’ve paid from our savings account but need to recoup to put some funds back into our account for emergencies, vet expenses, and the construction of the new rescue center (not currently itemized in the Zeffy fundraiser). Thank you so much for your continued support. Please continue to help if you can!

As the year draws to a close, I am overjoyed to share that in the weeks leading up to Christmas, four of our waiting the longest buns found their home sweet homes! Fiver and Aria were born in the rescue in March 2023. Adopted before them were their parents, aunts, uncles, & siblings. They are amazing, friendly, interactive and litter trained buns with only a touch of skittishness they are already “outgrowing” in their new home. Why did they spend so long in the rescue? Perhaps it’s due to their beautiful ruby eyes, which some people insist on finding creepy for whatever reason. It’s not fair to our sweet buns who love and deserve to be loved as much as every other bun. Diamond was also born in our rescue after her mother was rescued from a back yard meat breeder in Warren. She has been waiting for nearly 1000 days, why? Beats me. She’s a great bun. But slow to warm@up with new people, as many buns are. Yet so many adopters want the over the top social cuddle buns. Those buns are great, I get it. But there’s something extra special about the bond that develops between a human and a bun who doesn’t give their love freely to just anyone. Once they decide to trust you, they bond very deeply to you. That brings us to sweet Silvie. No other bun has been waiting longer than Silvie who was surrendered in January 2022 at just 6 months old. She was fearful to the point of aggresssive at first but has mellowed over time to be the sweetest bun. All of these buns have spent their whole lives in pens. They never knew life outside a pen until these last few weeks when they found their homes. Now they are learning what it is to be free roam house rabbits. Fiver and Aria were officially adopted while Diamond and Silvie went to FTA homes. Please send prayers and positive vibes for successful bonding so they, too may be officially adopted. We have many more buns who have been waiting as long as Diamond, including many of her family members. Please consider bringing one or a pair of them home. No bunny deserves to live their whole lives in a shelter.

We recently moved several of our rescue buns back from their foster homes into one of our new rescue buildings. With bunnies onsite now, we can use a few items from our Amazon wishlist. Here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/J479A77FQXK7?ref_=wl_share

And guess what? The number one item we need most happens to be ON SALE! oxbow essentials rabbit food is the pellet most of our rabbits are on and we are very low on adult pellets (okay on young for now). The 25lb bags are 33% off! If this is the food you use, then grab a couple bags for yourself and, if you’re able, send a bag or two our way! Additional items we need include paper towels, cleaning products such as Rocco and Roxy urine and stain remover, urine B gone, treats, supplements, toys, and enrichment items, hay bags and/or plastic hay feeders, and litter boxes. We would like to switch over to stainless steel litter boxes, which are quite a bit more expensive than the ones we were using. But our rabbits were basically eating the plastic litter boxes we were using, and, while fortunately we haven’t had any related medical emergencies due to this, we still don’t like the idea of them ingesting their litter boxes. We realize this will be a gradual transition as it will take time to replace all the plastic ones for stainless steel. If you are able to send rabbit food or other goodies our way, we sincerely appreciate you. Thank you for always being so supportive of our mission.

12/5 UPDATE: WE GOT HIM! HE’S SAFE!
Thank you to everyone who helped catch him and to all who donated! We named him Chase because he gave us quite the chase
___________________________________

UPDATE: We have secured a foster but are still short of our minimum fundraising goal of $200 which is the anount we will need to cover wellcheck and neuter. And that is IF the bunny is healthy. Our funds are the lowest they’ve ever been due to recent work we’ve had done on our rescue buildings. If you are able to donate towards this bunny’s vet care/neuter, that wiuld be extremely helpful! 🙏🏻
___________________________________

We were just contacted about a stray who’s been hanging out in a Clinton township sub for about a month. Now it’s freezing and snowing out. We need to rescue her/him. We cannot send a team out without a secured foster and we need to raise $200 to cover spay/neuter costs. Apply to foster at www.romeorabbitrescue.com. All supplies provided. Must be kept indoors only in a 4x4 xpen or equivalent or larger space. We will provide the xpen if needed.

There’s just way too much cuteness going on over here. If you’ve been following us for a while you may remember us taking in a colony of 5 Nethie dwarfs. Jack and Stash are two of those Nethies. They’ve been living a comfy life in a foster home all this time but they haven’t been able to get much exposure to find a forever home. Unfortunately that’s one of the draw backs of foster homes. It can be harder to get the exposure needed and take longer for our buns to find forever homes. So this highly adorable, highly adoptable pair just moved into one of our rescue buildings in Armada. They are friendly, affectionate, and well litter trained. They’ve been with us too long and are ready for their happily ever after home! Indoor homes only. No cages. Xpen allowed providing they’re allowed several hours a day of free roam time outside their pens. Rabbits need exercise and they need to truly feel like their are part of your family.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our supporters. Today is a day for reflecting on all we are thankful for and for us it’s a no brainer. Simply put, we wouldn’t be here without you. The 428 bunnies we’ve rescued since we opened, would not have been rescued without you! The countless community outreach events; nursing home visits, school assemblies, and so much more, would not have happened without you. The 300ish adoptions we’ve facilitated would not have happened without you. Hundreds of spays and neuters would not have happened without you. Thousands of human lives touched would not have happened without you. Healing for bunnies and their humans would not have happened without you. And finally, after 4 years of trying, securing our permanent location for the future of our rescue on our 10 acre property in Armada, obtaining our special land use permit, and all of the construction we’d done on our new rescue buildings would not have happened without you. I want to express sincere gratitude towards our volunteers, fosters, sponsors, donors, our search and rescue team, and supporters for making our life saving work possible! We still have a considerable amount of work to do in our barns as well as preparing to build our larger main rescue center hopefully sometime next year! We finally launched our Zeffy (GoFundMe for nonprofits) campaign. The link is in our bio. Or by clicking here: zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/help-romeo-rabbit-rescue-build-a-new-rescue-center-in-armada-mi Please take a moment to look at it, read our mission, and make a donation if you’re able. You can make a one time donation or set up monthly donations. You will automatically receive a tax deductible charitable giving receipt to be used as a tax write off. Please help if you can. Share if you can’t. And leave us a positive review on FB if you haven’t already. Thank you and God bless you! 🙏🏻
