Friday Foster - Greta

May 2nd, 2008

Greta is a sweet little Dutch bunny, rescued from the Lousiville Metro Animal Shelter after she and many other rabbits - mostly Dutches, like her - were confiscated from a neglectful breeder. These rabbits were lucky to survive; many of them were in horrible condition, having been kept in terribly small cages all their lives and only worth their next litter to the breeder.

360_2This adorable girl didn’t know what it meant to be loved and cared for until she came to Indiana HRS. She now lives in the lap of luxury with a great foster mom, and is learning what it’s like to have enough food, enough attention, and enough hay to simply toss around! Greta needs a home where her people will be patient with her, because she’s still very fearful of hands - to her, a hand reaching for her means she’s going to be shoved into a box to breed, but she’s coming around to the fact that hands can mean good things.

360_1As you can see, Greta is looking and looking for her forever home. She’s a potential candidate for pairing with another altered rabbit - she did very well on a recent bunny date, although it was clear that she just wasn’t that into him, she behaved like a lady the entire time. If you’re interested in adopting Greta, or any of our other adoptable rabbits, please visit our website at www.indianahrs.org. You’ll find a list of upcoming events we’ll be participating in, as well.

Foster Friday - Juju

April 25th, 2008

This is Juju.

Juju came to us when her adoptive mom — and dedicated HRS volunteer — was killed in an automobile accident last spring. Juju is a great rabbit despite her hardships. She’s fun, she’s curious, and she loves to interact with her foster mom. It’s a good thing, because as you can see from the picture above, she needs frequent hair cuts to keep her in good shape.

This is Juju after her haircut. She looks and feels better!

Juju, just like all of our other adoptables, is looking for her forever home. She’ll need a special home, because in addition to being 1) a long-haired rabbit and 2) a red-eyed white rabbit, she has also been diagnosed with recurrent upper respiratory infections. It’s manageable, but she’ll need medical care for the rest of her life. Hopefully that life will be long — she’s only a little over 2 years old!

If you are interested in Juju, or any of our other adoptables, please visit our website at www.indianahrs.org. You can also find a list of upcoming adoption and education events in the state of Indiana — stop by and see us!

Friday Foster - Lucky

April 18th, 2008

Kinda slacked off on the Friday Foster posts, there, didn’t I? Well, now that I’ve figured out how to write posts in advance and set them to publish later, that won’t be a problem.

This sweet little face belongs to one of my foster rabbits, Lucky. He’s about 4 1/2 years old, and was returned to rescue after living with his adoptive family for more than 2 years. He chews carpet. Hey, show me a rabbit that doesn’t chew carpet… Anyway, he’s such a nice rabbit. He has excellent litter box habits — better than any of my own rabbits! He LOVES to be petted, and turns into a big puddle o’ bunny the more he’s loved on.
