A loving spirit, commitment and a kind heart is what it takes to own a pet -all animals deserve this. Purchasing them is not just for now - it IS for their life. Just breaks my heart when I hear these stories.

One of my rescues was badly neglected too, she came to me as skin and bones, and as for poor Harry, he was hurt by his owners. "Luckily" Colin was just unwanted but hadn't been mistreated or neglected and Miss Tiff lords it over all of them as she was a pet=shop buy back before I knew about bunny rescues. All four of my bunnies are given the very best of everything and I adore them. It breaks my heart to think of other poor bunnies out there being mistreated, neglected or unloved. If I ever win the lottery, I'll be setting up the biggest bunny sanctuary you've ever seen!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167739272302561918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391792078836906166.post-78984076705638496562012-04-01T05:55:45.862-04:002012-04-01T05:55:45.862-04:00Hannah & Harrington, your mama is so lucky you...Hannah & Harrington, your mama is so lucky you were ready to make the committment to come to your forever home with her, You obviously give mama & us much joy and now have the great home you deserve.

Pe...Thank you for posting Marshmallow's story. People do not realize how different domestic rabbits are from their wild cousins. I used to raise and show pedigreed mini lops and was appalled when I would hear someone say that their rabbit would go in the stew pot if it lost the show. Not my bunnies! My kids often said they wanted to come back as one of my bunnies! While their cages were wire, there were boxes with partial lids for shelter, always packed with straw, the best pellets in the area, fresh timothy hay, dandelion and raspberry leaves as well as plantain, Cheerios occasionally, and lots of love. My neighbor could not believe their personalities. They would follow me around the yard like a puppy and my dogs - Beagles - never bothered them, just snuggled up to them. Sadly, too many are thrown away after the novelty wears off. I never sold a bunny for Easter, ever. Bless you for caring for these so fragile critters. They are so deserving.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926160625275737447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391792078836906166.post-32267264582943364472012-03-31T21:52:57.247-04:002012-03-31T21:52:57.247-04:00Hi, Michelle, Hannah & Harrington:'

Our furry friends depend upon us for everything; food, water, shelter and, most of a,ll love and companionship. If you can't make the commitment to give them what they need and DESERVE, then don't buy that bunny, chick, kitten or puppy. You are a good woman to support the bunny shelter and Hannah and Harrington are VERY lucky bunnies to have found your wonderful and loving home. Happy Easter my friend!
