: Mocha and Ivory have officially found their forever home and are now living their best lives as Jinu and Dodoco. We could not be happier for these two sweet buns and their wonderful new dad.

From the very beginning, he did his homework. He asked thoughtful questions, took our Bunny Basics class, and made sure he truly understood what it takes to give rabbits the care they deserve. Even with a hay allergy, he didn’t let that stop him. He researched options, learned how to mitigate allergens, and found ways to make sure Jinu and Dodoco still get the high-quality hay and nutrition their little tummies need. That kind of dedication means everything to us.

Jinu and Dodoco are now settling into a home that was prepared with intention, love, and so much care, and it shows. They gained not just a home, but a human who was ready to adjust his life for them.

Congratulations to this sweet family. Thank you for choosing adoption, for doing the work, and for giving Jinu and Dodoco the forever they deserve. We cannot wait to watch this happy new chapter unfold 🐰💕

[Lazarus Update] We wanted to share another sweet update from Lazarus’s foster that made our hearts melt.

Lazarus is eating more pellets, which is encouraging, and his weight has remained steady. For where he is in his recovery, that stability matters. He has also been enjoying supervised adventure time. With towels and mats laid out, Lazarus loves running around the bathroom. He is not very fast, but he is very enthusiastic, and watching him enjoy those little moments of freedom is pure joy. We are hoping to share some better video soon.

What truly stands out is how much he loves affection. Every few minutes, he stops exploring to come over and gently push his nose against you, asking for pets. And when he gets them, you can see his whole little body melt under the soft touch of a gentle hand. It is one of those moments that makes everything feel worth it.

We are still keeping a close eye on him. His eye has worsened and now has thick, white discharge, so he will be seeing Dr. Morales again this week. Hearing him breathe and watching how hard his body works reminds us that while he has happy moments, he is still very much in recovery.

Thank you for continuing to send Lazarus love and encouragement. He has a long road ahead, but he is walking it with curiosity, sweetness, and an incredible amount of heart. We will keep sharing updates as he goes.

A Week of Hope for Lazarus, Nutmeg, and Bunny Foo Foo’s Babies

Some weeks in rescue feel heavy with worry. Then there are weeks like this one. Weeks when hope feels so big that it fills the room and reminds us why we keep showing up for these little lives. Today we get to share three beautiful updates that would not be possible without you and the incredible veterinary guidance from our awesome partners at Cypress Lakes Animal Hospital.

Lazarus: Our Miracle Boy Keeps Surprising Us

Lazarus recently went in for another checkup, and the news we received filled us with so much hope. Dr. Morales said he is showing real improvement. He was finally strong enough to undergo his neuter, a much-needed tooth trim, and the removal of some excess skin that had been causing him discomfort. Through every step he remained calm and trusting. He really is a brave little soul.

His foster dad also came up with a brilliant idea to help keep Lazarus warm. Instead of wearing sweaters around the clock, his enclosure was gently converted into a warm little “incubator” with controlled heat. It lets him hop around freely, stay comfortable, and maintain his body temperature without stress. And it is working. He is more active. He is eating more. He is happier. Watching him choose to explore instead of curl up to stay warm is something that makes us breathe easier.

Lazarus still needs time and ongoing care, but for the first time we can say with confidence that he is moving in the right direction. What a gift.

Nutmeg: Small Body, Giant Willpower
Nutmeg continues to show us what resilience looks like. Even after being hit by a car and found in a ditch with cold water, she is fighting her way forward every single day.

She recently received laser therapy for her injuries, including a bruised lung that has made breathing a challenge. Even with discomfort, this tiny girl is already walking around on nonslippery surfaces, eating like she has never had a proper meal before, and showing more and more curiosity. Her determination is unbelievable. She wants to be here. She wants to heal. And she is.

Your support gives her the chance to do that.

Bunny Foo Foo’s Babies: A Community Showing Up in Force

When Bunny Foo Foo surprised us with four newborn babies, we knew we were going to need supplies fast. New moms and growing babies go through alfalfa, pellets, and hay at lightning speed. We put out a call asking for help.

And you answered that call with so much love.

Boxes and boxes began arriving from our wishlist. Fresh alfalfa. Baby safe supplies. Treats for their mom. Everything they needed to start life warm, fed, and safe. Watching these donations pile in was emotional in the best way. They came from people who may never meet these babies, yet still wanted their little lives to begin with comfort and abundance.

Thank you for helping them start off on the right foot. Thank you for showing their mom that she is not alone. Thank you for reminding us that kindness can show up at the speed of light when tiny lives need it.

Why These Updates Matter
Every warm enclosure.
Every treatment.
Every armful of hay.
Every second chance.

It exists because of you.

When you donate, share our posts, send supplies from our wishlist, or support the work we do, you become part of these stories. You help us turn fear into safety. Suffering into healing. Abandonment into love.

This week we got to witness Lazarus breathe a little easier, Nutmeg stand a little taller, and four newborn babies rest with full bellies. These moments happen because a community cares.Thank you for helping us help them.
Thank you for believing in their futures.

Yesterday a good Samaritan spotted a drenched and shivering rabbit lying in a ditch. She was soaked from the cold rain and unable to move well. He reached out to Houston Rabbit Resource for help, and we immediately guided him to take her to Cypress Lakes Animal Hospital. They were ready and able to see her right away, and Dr. Morales got to work the moment she arrived.

Dr. Morales suspects she was hit by a car. Thankfully, she thinks it may be mostly bruising and swelling that will heal with time, supportive care, and lots of gentleness. She lovingly named her Nutmeg, and Nutmeg has already captured all of our hearts.

Nutmeg will be going to one of our wonderful experienced foster homes. The challenge is that this foster currently has a foster bun in their care, so we need to open up space by finding another foster for that bunny. Helping us find one more foster home will directly help Nutmeg begin her healing journey.

If you have ever thought about fostering, now is a beautiful time to join our program. You will get supplies, orientation, and access to our foster Discord where our team and other fosters walk with you every step of the way. You will never be on your own, and fostering truly saves lives.

If you cannot foster, you can still help Nutmeg and the many surprises we have had recently, from Lazarus to Bunny Foo Foo's babies and now this brave little girl. Donations help us continue saying yes when bunnies desperately need care, and your likes, comments, and shares make a real difference in getting help to them faster.

💛 Apply to foster: houstonrabbitresource.org/foster
💛 Donate if you can houstonrabbitresource.org/donate
💛 Engage with this post to help it reach more hearts

Together we can help Nutmeg heal and keep our mission going strong.

Binky was purchased from a store at only 4 weeks old, far younger than he should have ever been sold. His family tried their best, but as life became more complicated, his caregiver realized she could not keep up with the level of care a rabbit truly needs. We are grateful she reached out to us for help rather than letting him loose on the street, which sadly happens far too often.

Stories like Binky’s are common for rescues. Baby bunnies are frequently sold too young, incorrectly sexed, and brought home on impulse. As they grow and their needs become clearer, families can feel overwhelmed. When that happens, the rabbits are the ones who suffer.

Binky is safe with us now and has a bright future ahead.
And thanks to donor Ana Ortega, he officially has his name. She named him through our Name A Bun program where, for a $5 donation, supporters can submit names for our future intakes and help support their care.

Binky is now featured on our Coming Soon page if you want to see this sweet little guy.

Update: we have found someone close who has alfalfa hay. Thank you all so much for offering to help! Unfortunately he isn’t eating pellets but he is eating a bit hay so we’re grateful we can get more right away.

Hoppy Friday! Lazarus is slowly gaining weight and is currently in need of alfalfa hay to help him along. If you happen to have any to spare please DM us, and we can coordinate for a pick up/drop off.

He also wanted us to ask what y'all think of his sweater 😅

This Thanksgiving, we are especially grateful for little miracles like Bunny Foo Foo.

She was found scared and alone in the bushes near Lone Star College UP, likely dumped with only a carrot beside her. Her rescuer gently earned her trust and brought her to safety, not knowing what was coming next.

While waiting for her wellness appointment, her foster watched her gather hay, pluck fur, and build a nest. The next morning, they reached in to add more hay and felt something wiggle. Foo Foo had quietly given birth to four tiny babies overnight.

Thanks to the care of her rescuer and the guidance of our founder and wellness coordinator, Foo Foo now has a safe nest box and is caring for her babies with all the love in the world.

This Thanksgiving, we are grateful for the people who show up for rabbits like Foo Foo and for the tiny blessings she brought with her.

If you would like to help this little family, we are in need of alfalfa hay, Oxbow Young Adult pellets, and other baby supplies. You can donate through our wishlist or bring donations to our Winter Bunderland event on December 6. We are also looking for experienced fosters to help us prepare for the months ahead.

Thank you for helping us give rabbits like Bunny Foo Foo something to be thankful for.

[LAZARUS UPDATE] Our sweet boy had another check-in today, and we are holding onto some gently hopeful news. Although he has lost a little weight, his breathing has improved, and seeing him work a little less for each inhale feels like such a gift after watching him struggle. He continues to eat his vegetables and Critical Care well, and that steady intake is giving his body the strength it needs to keep going.

What brings us the most joy is watching him still choose the things that make him happy. He is curious, he explores, he asks for pets, and he enjoys every bit of comfort we can offer. His recovery is still fragile and he needs all the love and good thoughts people can send, but knowing that he feels well enough to enjoy those moments means the world to us.

He will continue receiving antibiotics, pain medication, extra vitamins, and nebulizer treatments to support his healing. This community has wrapped him in so much kindness, and we truly feel it helping carry him through. Every message, donation and encouraging word reminds us that he is not fighting alone.

Now that we have covered the medical side, Lazarus has some thoughts of his own about the level of service at his current establishment, and we thought he deserved a chance to share.

"Hello friends, Lazarus reporting in.

The spa here is very enthusiastic about grooming. They trimmed my beard this time, which I did not approve. I am unsure if the stylist has credentials or if she simply enjoys trimming rabbits.

The food has improved, though. They have added vitamin B and bee pollen, which makes the mush much more enjoyable. The room looks nicer too. I am still deciding if I will stay long term, but for now, it meets the standards.

Thank you for thinking of me and sending good vibes. Treats are also welcome😁.

Warmly,
Lazarus"
