This pair was rescued by the neighbors of the people who had them and moved away…leaving the bunnies behind in an outdoor cage. Peter is the brown lop, and Scrunch is his lovely wife. Both are neutered/spayed, and we think they are about 2 years old. Because they were outside previously, they are a little afraid of noises and will run for their hideout for safety (sort of like PTSD). They are very bonded, and Scrunch likes to follow Peter around wherever he goes. They are timid when meeting new humans because as outside rabbits, they weren’t used to interacting with humans that often, but once comfortable, they love coming to you for pets. Their potty skills are good and hopefully will improve even more over time. They love eating lettuce leaves, fruits such as apples and grapes (given in limited amounts, of course). They really enjoy their stackable cups that are filled with pellets. They are quite busy much of the time, now being able to explore their new surroundings without the confine of an outdoor hutch. Peter and Scrunch are super sweet, and have already adjusted to their new foster home, for which their foster mom is thrilled. If you would like to adopt Peter and Scrunch, please email us at [email protected].

Rose (black, female) and Poe (grey and white, male) are a bonded pair of rabbits estimated to be about 3 years old. Both are spayed/neutered. Rose and Poe love to be petted and they melt down into the ground when they are receiving their pets. They don’t want to be picked up, but they will rush up to you begging for attention and food. They go nuts for their daily pellets and love to throw around their stackable cups when they are hangry. They are very food motivated, and their favorite treats are cilantro, lettuce, apples, and hay. After their very stressful day of napping and snacking, they both flop onto the ground very dramatically and lay contently on their sides. Poe has an adorable white belly that he shows off when he is flopped over on his side or standing up checking out his world. They both love to do binkies and put on a little show in the evenings when they run around and jump crazily into the air. Rose and Poe are very curious in their surroundings and like to know what is going on whenever anyone enters the room. They are looking for a new home full of love and attention. If you are interested in Rose and Poe, please email us at [email protected].

***LET’S GET THIS BOY INTO HIS FOREVER HOME!!!***

Pumbaa is a four-year-old neutered male who came from a situation where too many rabbits were kept together in a shed outdoors. He now lives up to his namesake and is loving the indoor lifestyle with no worries! He loves to explore outside of his pen and would love a great big space to play in. He’s very friendly and loves to check in with his humans to see what food they brought him. Pumbaa is looking forward to living “Hakuna Matata” for the rest of his days with his new forever home. If you are interested in Pumbaa, please email us at [email protected]

*Update! A foster has been found thanks to our wonderful followers on here. Unfortunately, the finder decided to give the bunny away before we could get into the rescue officially. This is a frustrating part of being a rescue… but, we appreciate those who offered to help! If you still have any interest in fostering, please contact us. We are always getting messages about bunnies needing rescued or owners wanting to surrender and cannot often help due to lack of available foster homes.*

This sweet bun was rescued by a Good Samaritan from their yard and is in need of a foster home!

Please email us if would like to foster this bun! We can help with free hay and some supplies like an exercise pen, litter box, and bowls.

Augusta and her daughters and have all been spayed and are bonded together. They are all great with their litter boxes and are big hay eaters. They also love their evening salads and any treats! Momma enjoys her head rubs, and like her son Hamilton, melts into the floor. Angelica (brown) and Eliza (white) prefer not to be pet, as of now, but will come up and see what’s going on when their foster mom is in their area or while she is making salad. None of them enjoy being picked up or held. They are all quite active, especially the girls, and love playing in their tunnels! They also are chewers and need lots of good things to chew on (like palm plates and apple sticks) as well as a large area to play. They’d love a home with a well bunny proofed room to exercise and lots of time out. If you are interested in this bonded trio, please email us at [email protected].

Scotty is a spayed female rabbit that is about three years old. She’s a very sweet and gentle girl. She has great litter skills and loves to do binkies when she’s out for exercise. Cilantro is her favorite veggie but she’s a good eater all around and especially loves her Timothy hay. Like most rabbits, she doesn’t like to be held but loves to be petted. She will flatten out like a pancake when you pet her! She would like to find a loving forever home and would be open to finding a husbun to love and snuggle with. If you would like to adopt Scotty, please email us at [email protected].

DO YOU HAVE A LITTLE EXTRA LOVE IN YOUR HEART?

Foster homes are urgently needed. The MOHRS is receiving so many requests to accept bunnies into our rescue. Without more available foster homes, we are forced to say no. We need fosters for all types of rabbits – young, not young, small, big, bonded pairs, cuddly, independent, etc.

Please consider opening your home to a bunny in need. You provide love, we cover many of the costs associated with their care, including approved vet visits and help with pens, bedding and hay. If you are interested in fostering one of our rescued rabbits, please email us at [email protected].

Ed is a two-year-old neutered male who came from a situation where too many rabbits were kept together in a shed outdoors. While he was living in this overcrowded situation, he suffered some injuries to his back that needed to be treated when he was brought to the vet. The vet had to shave his back to treat the punctures, but the hair is growing back nicely now and will probably not even be noticeable in the future! Despite his rough start in life, he is a very sweet boy now, albeit camera shy. He is a little shy at first, but he can easily be bribed with treats like apples and bananas. He also loves to eat greens, hay, and pellets. He may do well with a spayed female to spend the rest of his days with. If you are interested in Ed, please email us at [email protected].

Dax and Toffee are a bonded pair of rabbits, both neutered and spayed. Dax is the spotted one and Toffee is black. They both were found running loose in a neighborhood in October 2022 and we believe they were under a year old at the time. They love their daily fresh veggies and a treat of apple, banana, blueberry, grape or dried cranberry. They’re very curious so they like to search every area of the room and flipping their stacking cups is a favorite thing they like to do. Both enjoy chewing cardboard and playing with other toys too. We always have cardboard available for them. Dax will try to nibble on some carpet and wood but is easily redirected. Bunny-proofing is a must where they will free roam. They are both healthy, but Toffee has a persistent head tilt. She gets around the familiar environment of their pen – she jumps and zooms around in there. She will tentatively walk around when exploring new environments. She can effectively scan her surroundings using her left/top eye. Functionally, Toffee is able to hop in and out of the litter box, eat hay, eats pellets out of a bowl, pick up food off the floor and drink water out of a bowl – all the things an upright bunny can do! Dax and Toffee are both very soft and open to being petted, especially when they have had a chance to get to know someone. They like moving their hidey house and toys around in their pen. Their litter box skills are good. They are both very sweet and would be a fun pair of bunnies to have in your home. If you are interested in Dax and Toffee, please email us at [email protected].

Please sign this petition so Marissa can keep Juniper, her emotional support rabbit with her while she is temporarily in a nursing home to recover from a stroke. (option to donate is given after signing)

Petition Mission Nursing Home Bunny https://share.google/dd0TguYN48NfcncqH

~Good morning,
My name is Marissa New and I am currently residing in a nursing home in Kansas City. My bunny, Juniper, is my emotional support animal prescribed by my doctor. I have autism and severe ptsd. I also had a stroke about a month ago.

I have requested to bring Juniper with me to the nursing home as a reasonable accommodation under the Fair Housing Act and Missouri Human Rights Act. The administrator of the nursing home is on board but we are stuck on the corporate level. There have been emotional support animals in their facilities before, just not specifically a bunny.

Juniper benefits me in so many ways, not only is she a great support but she gives me a sense of independence and routine which is important in my life. Being autistic, humans are hard to understand but I understand and relate to Juniper as if we are on the same wave length. I have only had her for a short time and she is currently being fostered by her breeder, so I know she is safe.

Juniper gives me the motivation to get up in the morning and gives me the unconditional love I crave as I don't have many friends or family. She will not only brighten up my day but the other residents' day as well! I will take her everywhere with me as she is a very confident and curious rabbit and loves to be right next to me! She will have an x-pen set up in my room with plenty of hides and toys and free roaming time with lots of love!

My goal is to get 150 signatures on a petition called Mission Nursing Home Bunny! On the petition I am requesting for people to comment their name and state. I have 25 signatures so far from my small amount of followers on Tik Tok. I hope this helps expedite the process and persuades corporate that having a bunny will be an okay thing.

If you could help in any way, that would be great! I just want to see my Juniper again and I hope I don't have to end up rehoming her. Juniper is my baby! I love her so much!~
