We have so many lovely little furry friends still looking for a place to call forever home, they all have very sweet demeanors and would do well in nearly any home environment.

Rango is looking for a place to call home!! This sweet boy will inevitably steal the hearts of all who meet him!! He is a bit more reserved, but as he gets comfortable around you he slowly comes out of his shell. He is a big boy with a lot of love to give. Rango does really well with kids, other animals, and would even potentially make a great bond mate. He is neutered and has never had any health issues + his litter box habits are pristine! He is only a little over a year old. Send us over a message if you’d like to come meet Rango and see if he would make a good fit for your home 💌

*Piper is now in a foster to adopt home :)*

Piper is looking for a place to call home!! Piper is around 2 years old, he is a loving mini lop. Piper has fantastic litter box skills, is neutered, healthy, and all around an amazing bun. He is shy upon first meeting him, but he warms up fast. He would be an amazing companion for nearly any household. He is very bold and adventurous.. he doesn’t fear much. He is amazing with kiddos and other animals, and we think he could make a good bond mate to a spayed female bun. Reach out to meet Piper and see if he could be a good addition to your home!! ❤️

MEDICAL EMERGENCY
PLEASE READ!!!

Update!! Unfortunately I was just notified that Mathew was found to have an internal bleed, he took a quick decline and although we could’ve gone through with the surgery his chances of survival were not high. It was time to consider quality of life. Even if he made it through surgery the odds of him making a full recovery weren’t high enough that we were comfortable putting him through that. Thank you to everyone who has donated and shared, all current donations will be going towards covering the vet bills that have incurred from the testing, scans, supportive care, euth costs, and crematory services.

This morning I got notification from our foster that one of our bunnies, Mathew, took a serious health decline throughout the night. Mathew stopped eating, drinking, and pooping. While we expected this to be a case of GI stasis we have now found with scans that this is a liver lobe torsion. Liver lobe torsions are extremely life threatening, and without emergency surgery there aren’t the best chances of survival. We are in desperate and dire need of any and all financial support we can get. This surgery is estimated to cost us $2,000-$3,000… but it’s his best shot at making a full recovery. Our bill has stayed consistently over $8,000 for the past year and a half and we at a constant struggle to pay it off. Between Mathew and Blue both being hospitalized in the same day we are panicking. We are pleading for this amazing communities help. Please donate and share if you are able. Thank you all for your endless support. Please keep these bunnies in your thoughts and prayers.

We accept donations through Venmo, PayPal, and you can even call our vet directly.

Our Venmo is Mar-Animalrescue

URGENT!!

Our little guy blue had to be rushed to the emergency vet this evening due to lack of mobility/partial paralyzation in his back legs as well as a lack of appetite. Earlier this evening he was stable and acting his normal self, but something happened between then and around 10pm. He is currently at mountain west veterinary specialists with their ER team, but will be transferred into our exotic teams Care when their specialists get in tomorrow. Right now with just the necessities (pain meds, X-rays, emergency fee, and evaluation) it is already reaching over $500. We are not in a good place financially and need all the help we can get to give blue the best chance at pulling through this. Please consider donating and sharing if possible. We would truly truly appreciate it.

This little lad is Poe!

Poe is almost 6 months old and is available to foster to adopt!! He is a spunky little dude with lots of energy and curiosity. Poe came to us as a tiny baby back when we helped Uintah Animal Shelter with the massive hoarding case. An animal control officer found him and his two siblings while clearing out the home and sadly we were not able to find which bunny was his momma so he was our little bottle baby! Poe loves other buns and would love to have a bond mate. He is almost at the age where we can get him neutered, chipped, and vaccinated and is working on litter box training.

Please reach out if you’d like to meet Poe! He would love to be your new best friend 🖤🤍

Here’s another post that I have been dreading making but once again Noah is looking for a home.

Noah’s story and pictures gained so much attention when I posted him a while back and we have people very eager to give him the home of ours dreams, but soon after we ended up finding someone local who was convinced he would be her forever buddy. Sadly, sometime in the past few weeks she messaged me saying adoption was no longer a commitment she wanted to make. Bunnies are not the companion for her and she worries about the burden they may hold while trying to find future housing as she may be leaving her parents home in the next few years. This news broke my heart, Noah had been with her long enough to get his hopes up once again. She has no complaints about his character, litter box habits, or any habits for that matter. He is the perfect bunny with so much love to give. He holds no fear and takes to most people very quickly. He is so trusting and eager to show his love. We need to find Noah a family who will truly cherish him for the bunny that he is. Noah is the longest resident of MAR. He came to us when our rescue first opened as a tiny baby, and although we love Noah he doesn’t deserve to be with us for the entirety of his life. Noah is around 7 years old, neutered, and perfectly healthy. He is a tripod meaning he only has 3 legs but he gets around great! He does well with older kids, animals, and pretty much anyone who crosses his path.

Please share this post and comment! Help us find Noah his people!!

Noah can be transported nearly anywhere in the US! We work with an amazing transportation organization that specializes in bunnies and they will help us do whatever it takes to find some of these buns their forever homes! So please don’t hesitate to reach out if you are looking to adopt outside of Utah! ❤️

This sweet boy is Peter!

Peter is looking for a place to call home! He was recently returned to us by his adoptive family. Soon after Peter had settled in and became comfortable in his family’s home they decided to bring another bun into the mix. Sadly Peter was not willing to bond with the other bunny and his family believed the bonding process also broke Peters trust with them. They found it was easier to keep the other bun and return Peter rather than working with him to get to a point of trust and love once again. Since his return peter has been very lonely and has shown depressive behaviors. He is in need of a forever home that will truly make the commitment to him. He is one of the best buns you will ever meet. His personality is extremely outgoing and he loves to explore! He is very quick to adjust and come out of his shell. He thrives in environments with lots of roaming time and love. We think he would do great in a family with kids and other pets. He has the potential to bond with another bunny but his adoption cannot be reliant on them bonding. We’d like to see him placed with a family who is willing to keep him despite a bonding outcome. Peter is around 5 years old and is neutered, healthy, and uses his litter box perfectly! Please help us make peters dreams come true! Let’s find his perfect people!

We work with an amazing transport team that can fly our buns nearly anywhere in the US, so if you are out of state but you’d be interested in adopting peter please don’t hesitate to reach out! ❤️

Hello everyone!

This little guy is Sunny! He is looking for a forever family and is long overdue for finding one. This poor guy has been through fosters, and 2 potential adopters that have had to return him. This is due to no fault of his own, just a bad stroke of luck. Allergies, moving, and other life changes have been the causes of his returns. He has the sweetest demeanor and every home he’s been in has raved about his personality. Sunny is very loving and affectionate, but it takes a moment to gain his trust. Although once you gain his trust it’s there forever. Sunny is around 5 years old, he is neutered and does exceptionally well with his litter box. Please help us find sunny his perfect family!

We can transport nearly anywhere in the US!

Hello everyone!
As I have stated in a previous post this past month has been one of the hardest ones for us. We are getting a surplus of returns, fosters backing out, and have also been hit with some financial hardships. It’s so hard to look at all of this negative that comes piling down and find the positive. Slowly we are working our way out of this funk and trying to push for new beginnings and hopefully a little good luck for us. Right now one of the largest weights on our shoulders is the financial status of the rescue. We are reaching over $10,000 in vet bills due to some recent emergencies as well as chronically ill bunnies who have entered our care in these past months. This balance makes it nearly impossible to keep moving forward and saving more lives. We are in dire need of any donations we can get in order for this rescue to continue to thrive. Please consider donating even if it may be just a dollar. We are in need, and don’t want to slow our mission of saving lives. Please share this message and leave us some love. We appreciate you all! ❤️

Big momma is in dire need of a hospice care home. This month we got news that big momma was ridden with cancerous tumors originating from her uterus, but spreading throughout her body. BM was used in a backyard breeding business for nearly 7 years of her life, and her body was sadly sacrificed in that process. Our exotic vet did scans, X-rays, biopsies, and continued with her spay in order to keep tabs on the growth of this cancer, and hopefully spare her some time. Due to the history of immense abuse and neglect she’s endured we think the only way to do right by her is find her a home that will spoil her rotten these last 3-9months. We will provide everything needed to care for her and spoil her, all we ask is that you help us continue with supportive care and show her true love up until her last days. Financially everything is in our hands, and that will never be a concern of her hospice home. BM is friendly to all. She loves everyone who crosses her path and is truly just like a puppy dog. She will follow you everywhere and loves to explore every new moment and thing. She is also just the biggest bunny cuddle bug you will ever meet. Please contact us asap if you’d like to show BM what true love is. We are begging all of you to read this message and share it. She deserves a home for these last months.

Also with that being said we are seeking donations to fund not only her hospice care but also an excess amount of toys and goodies for her during this time. Please consider donating and putting “Big Momma” or “BM” in the subject line.

Hello everyone!

I wanted to come on here and let you all know that I have been a bit absent recently due to personal reasons as well as needing a bit of a mental health break. We are currently not accepting any surrenders no matter the circumstance, and I am not sure when we will open that back up. Financially we are struggling a bit, and want to make sure all of our current buns are well taken care of and their needs are fully met and covered before we are able to introduce any new animals into the rescue. I truly appreciate all of your support and patience during this time. I know it is not easy to wait on responses and such, and I am truly sorry for my lack of effort. These winter months can be ones filled with a lot of struggle and uphill battles for local rescues. Everything from adoptions, online support, and donations hit a bit of a drop so please show us some extra love and support when you have the chance. With that being said I will be putting in time to get updates on all of our animals posted, and take the time to get back to each and every one of you. Thank you all for everything. Much love to our wonderful community ❤️

Foster or adoptive home needed!!!

Sunny was recently returned from his adoptive family due to severe allergies, and soon after we placed him with a new potential adopter in hopes for him to bond with her original bunny. Sadly her existing bunny has a great deal of dominance and was adamant on not wanting another bunny in his space. This means sunny is once again in search of his heart perfect person! Sunny is one of the sweetest buns you’ll meet, he truly is so social and eager to bond with humans and animals alike. He is very well litter box trained, neutered, and healthy. He would be a great bun for a home with another friendly bunnies or kids. Please contact us today to meet sunny!

It just breaks my heart to make this post yet again, but these sweet girls STILL haven’t found a home of their own. They have spent years waiting, but no one has truly and genuinely showed interest in them. We are heartbroken over this. They deserve someone who can love them unconditionally for the rest of their lives. They are a loving and gentle mother daughter pair nearing 4.5 years old. Both of them are spayed, well litter box trained, and very amazing buns! They are a bit timid, but with work and patience they will flourish in the proper home. We need someone who can truly commit. We work with an amazing transporter who is willing to fly them nearly anywhere in the US! So if you are interested but not local we can still make it happen. Please share this post and message us to start the adoption process!! ❤️

This cute boy is Ollie!!

He is one of the 5 babies we took in from the massive vernal hoarding case a few weeks back. He is growing quickly, and within the next two weeks will be weaned from his milk replacement, and will be in need of a foster home! Ideally we would like to see this little guy be placed in a foster to adopt home, but we are also eager and open to just placing him in a foster home for the time being.

Ollie is very social, loving, and friendly. He doesn’t mind being handled at this age, but that could change once hormones kick in haha! Ollie is already using his litter box well, and has been in amazing health.

Please contact us today if you’d like to foster, or foster to adopt this lovely little lad! Either way we will provide absolutely everything needed to care for him. This includes housing, blankets, litter box, water bowls, hay, pellets, and more! Plus we cover all veterinary care. All we ask is that you can transport him to and from vet appointments (we work with your schedule unless it’s an ER visit).

August is currently in search of a forever home!!

She came to us recently from a fairly large breeding/neglect case. She is one of the lucky gals we were able to rescue. She is a fuzzy lop who is nearing 6 months of age. She has a very sweet and gentle persona to her ❣️ She does have a bit of anxiety and will take a week or two to adjust to a new environment, but with love and time she flourishes into an amazing little bun. She has never showed any aggressive behaviors, and it seems as though she would love the companion of another bunny. We think bonding could honestly be a huge and positive change for her! Having a bun friend to help her navigate this world might be just what she needs.

August is not yet spayed due to her young age, but she is available for foster placement and adoption can be finalized after her recovery period.

Please contact us today to meet August. All she wants is a home for the holidays!

Our new intakes first night ever being indoors….

This sweet boy was brought in this morning. He is a year and a half years old and has never known the comfort of a true home. One where he can burrow in his blankies, feel safe and protected, eat endless amounts of hay, the list goes on and on. This is his first night inside. He went from lunging at me to melting into my hands as I stroke his face. With every intake comes a new experience, but one thing that almost always happens in cases like his is the realization that they are safe. They no longer have to fight for their survival or sit in the blazing heat of our summers or the freezing cold of our unforgiving winters. So many bunnies come to us having such a learned instinct of fear and watching them learn to leave that behind us one of the most rewarding things. Who wants a shot at naming this sweet boy? We need to fundraise $350 for his neuter! If you send in a donation within the next 24 hours you could be the one to chose his name!! If you chose to donate make sure you put the name you want for him in the subject line/text box and tomorrow at this time we will draw and see what his name is!! 🐾He will be available within the next few weeks, contact us to fill out an adoption application🐾 Money raised $170 Goal: $350 Venmo:Mar-Animalrescue https://gofund.me/fcd7ee34

This adorable pair is looking for a place to call home! Bonnibel and chewy are amazing bunnies who have been with us for almost two years now!! They originally came from our old vets office after they were abandoned on their doorsteps when they were 4 weeks old. They have almost spent their whole lives shifting from foster family to foster family and finally just want a place to feel secure, safe, and loved. They are both spayed and neutered, litter box trained, and healthy. Please contact us today to set up a meet and greet with these two sweethearts. If you are unable to adopt a share even goes a long way!
