Just came across this...Oh my heart 💔 😭

The silent suffering of bunnies and guinea pigs 😔 I wanted to share in here to be a voice for these animals because there are lots of people in here and I ALWAYS see “I’m thinking of getting my kid a rabbit” posts… 😭💔

“When I joined this family three years ago, I was allowed to jump around in an open enclosure in the summer and was even brought into the house more often.

I was given fresh food every day, and clean water. Also, my hutch was regularly cleaned.

Having to live alone in my hutch was always lonely and boring, when I was with my mother and siblings there was always something going on but the child of the family would come and pet me.

Now the child is 12 and thinks I’m boring.

He would rather have a dog now ... 🐕
So I've been sitting in my dirty hutch all alone for ages now!

If I'm lucky, once a day the door opens and someone remembers to give me
pellets where I prefer greens a lot.

Sometimes I get a carrot or some dandelion it makes me really happy.

My water is often inedible because it is not changed for days on end.

I'm drowning in my own dirt so to speak!

In the winter I freeze because no one bothers to bring me inside like they used to.

Besides, I am often very thirsty, but my water bottle is frozen and my people don't see it.

When it rains I sit in the back corner of my hutch because no one cares that it leaks when it rains.

Then I squat in the wet mess and feel terribly uncomfortable.

I'm having diarrhea, my butt is covered with poo.

My people think this is disgusting but so do I !

I have a stomach ache and feet have sores on them from having to sit on wet filth because my hutch is rarely cleaned these days. A vet could surely help but that costs money .
But I'm just a rabbit 🐇

In the summer, it’s unbearably hot in here but I look outside and see a beautiful garden, with juicy grass, and there are sooo many delicious daisies and wish I could enjoy all this.

I feel unwell and my joins are so stiff from having to sit in a small space all the time, I long to be able to run and jump and play.

Again and again I envy the cats that sneak through the yard and don't have to sit in a small jail.

Then I picture myself jumping across the meadow and playing with other rabbits.

I sometimes just wish I could vent like this I can barely move in my dirty prison 😔

Unfortunately, I can't make my people understand how sad I am. They don't understand my languages and they don't see my tears!

What did I do to be treated this way!?

I was always sweet, always let everything go over me, never scratched or even bit!

Why don't they at least take me to an animal shelter, maybe I'd find a friend and a nicer family

I don't know how much longer I can handle this long lonely uncomfortable existence and I am becoming very depressed.

I could still live for many many more years!

I hope for a life after death, a life without people locking me in a cage, a life with huge meadows, and many peers.

With fresh green food and clean drinking water!

And so I continue to suffer silently because people have lost interest in me and don’t understand my language and don't see my tears!

So I have to die first to be able to live 😔

Don't look away and give us a voice! A hutch is never enough!” 🐰

Sharon van Rouwendaal of the Netherlands braved a 10,000-meter race in the Seine to take home the gold medal, and she did it all for her dog. Rio, a Pomeranian named after her last Olympic gold in Brazil, passed away in May, after complications from a lung surgery. Van Rouwendaal said her "world stopped" and she couldn't think about swimming for weeks following his passing. "But then my dad said… 'just do one more race and give it everything and swim for him.' So I had a tattoo three days after the cremation and I said, ‘Let’s try it and I will swim for him with my whole heart’ — and I did it — I won for him.'" The swimmer led for the first half of the two-hour marathon race, then dropped back a position before rallying to a strong finish in Rio's honor. As she emerged from the river, she pointed at a tattoo on her wrist of Rio's little paw print. She got her gold, and now he gets the 14/10 he so clearly deserved.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ *URGENT APPEAL* ⚠️⚠️⚠️ to find a GSD-experienced foster home for our gorgeous Max within the next week, to try to avoid having to place him in kennels:
https://www.oldies.org.uk/2024/urgent-appeal-could-you-foster-max-2 🐾

Max is a nine-year-old white German Shepherd Dog who came into Oldies Club care following the death of his previous person. Max loves a car journey, but it is thought that he may have been crated for long hours prior to coming into our care, which has made him very fearful of crates and so he would need to travel behind a dog guard or on the back seat of a vehicle, in a suitable harness.

Oldies Club will arrange transport of Max to his next foster home and continue to cover all approved veterinary bills while Max is in our foster care.

Max loves his walks, particularly when they involve water, such as a dip in a stream or pond. He is walked on a long lead by his current fosterers. He needs to be kept away from livestock.

Max took a while to settle into his current foster home, but once settled his wonderful, affectionate nature came through. He has lived happily with another large dog until recently, so could potentially share his foster home with another large canine, but he can be a bit shouty if he sees another dog when out on a walk. He could live with sensible, dog-friendly teenagers who are used to large dogs. As far as we know, he has no experience of cats.

Max would love a home with plenty of interesting things going on, as he is an inquisitive, intelligent boy. He's looking for a home with plenty of space and a large, secure garden. He has suffered with ear problems and has daily tablets to help with this. He is very frightened at the vets and groomers.

We are initially, urgently, seeking a foster home for Max, but would be very happy to hear from anyone wanting to foster him with a view to adoption, thus making him a forever part of your family. If you are not that experienced person(s), please help spread the word. Thank you! :-)
