âBuster! Oh good Lord!â
One of our alumni, Beetlejuice (now renamed Buster), has always been a delightful little troublemaker.
Part of the dynamic duo Beetlejuice and Baxter, heâs always been a little âextraâ compared to his brother and we canât blame him.
After all, this rascal and siblings were locked in a cage and then dumped in the middle of a road as babies. Their meat breeder couldnât afford to keep feeding all of his rabbits and the smallest bunnies werenât able to be eaten yet, so they got tossed away.
Luckily for us, and especially for them, they all survived. Since then, theyâve been living their best (and sassiest) lives.
Case in point: enjoy this video of Beetlejuice/Buster fully knowing he shouldnât hop into the ShopVac, throwing a binky as a âwhat are you gonna do about it?â move, and then immediately binkying himself straight into the ShopVac.
He knows the rules. He just thinks theyâre optional. As his adopter says best, âBuster! Oh good Lord!â
Snooki Zoomies!
Snooki and her foster mom shared a keyboard to write you a special message from Snooki herself!
âNeeding some bunny to love this year? Iâm Snooki!
Iâm super smart, fun, adventurous, and sweet! I love to run, explore, get head and ear scratches, and Iâll groom you for days. I love food, but I also love attention.
Iâll nibble on my dinner, take a break to come give you kisses, get pets, explore, and maybe flop down for a nap beside you or on your lap. I play hard, love hard, and nap hard.
I may seem like a lot of energy at first, but thatâs just because I want to play, and spend time with you. Iâm perfect with my litter box, and donât have accidents during free roam time.
I love to chew, but when provided with safe toys and hay to chew on, I do great at not chewing things I shouldnât.
I LOVE to burrow in anything I can burrow in. Blankets, stuffies, hay, and whatever you let me burrow in. My foster mom is obsessed with my kisses and teeth grinding when she pets me. She says Iâm the sweetest girl when I want to be.
Hoping for a furever home to be able to play and lay next to for snuggles. Will you be mine?â
Snooki can only be a single bunny and once sheâs bonded to a person, sheâll groom them for hours on end!

Bunny Stealing Crab Rangoon
Well, it looks like TikTok has officially gone down (cue the dramatic music)! đą But donât panic - our buns are still here and weâre not going anywhere! đ
Since TikTok decided to take a nap, weâre bringing the party to our page! đ Get ready for even more bunny videos because letâs face it, who doesnât need more bunny binkies, sploots, and zoomies in their life? đ°đ¨
Weâll be posting everything from âCharlie Bit My Fingerâ (we just need a bunny named Charlie first) to âCharlie the Unicornâ (again, just need a bunny named Charlie). And of course, weâll sprinkle in some behind-the-scenes rescue moments as well đŠˇđĽ
Sure, TikTok might be taking a little break, but weâre stepping up our game and making sure the bunny content keeps rolling. So grab your popcorn đż and get comfy, because weâve got a whole lot of cuteness coming your way. Who needs TikTok anyway when weâve got bunnies that can entertain you 24/7? đ
And hey, speaking of behind-the-scenes, did you know our TikTok friends saw a lot of videos we didnât share on Dollyâs?
Hereâs one of an alum trying to steal a Crab Rangoon. Honestly, mood. Heâs got good taste - makes sense considering his name is Spring Roll. đĽĄđĽ˘
Stay tuned for your daily dose of bunny joy and behind the scenes looks into Dollyâs! đâ¤ď¸
Cottontail or Domestic?
Last night around 10pm, we received this video from a local woman who spotted a rabbit wandering her neighborhood. She wasnât sure if it was a cottontail, but had a feeling something was off.
She was right. It was a dumped, domesticated rabbit.
Within 20 minutes, our team was on the scene, combing the area in the dark for over an hour. Unfortunately, we werenât able to locate the bunny, but weâll keep trying.
Then, a couple of minutes ago, we received another message about yet another dumped rabbit. You can see his photo in the comments below. Weâre sending out a team literally right now to catch him.
The dumping crisis is completely out of control. This year alone, weâve already saved 67 rabbits and received over 400 surrender requests. Yes, 400. The numbers are staggering, and honestly, itâs disheartening to keep counting when the requests keep piling up. We probably wonât keep an exact count anymore because itâs demoralizing our volunteers.
Weâve been catching bunnies left and right. 1 as recently as 2 days ago. But with 67 saves already this year, posting every single one is impossible. Weâre doing our best. Itâs only January 16th.
This has to stop. Itâs exhausting. Itâs heartbreaking. And itâs completely avoidable.
If youâre willing to help and are local, we need all hands on deck. Join our volunteer rescue or transport teams to make a difference:
Transport Application: https://forms.gle/7G5iktYZUDoNqptg9

We canât do this alone. Consider joining our volunteer teams. The bunnies need all hands on deck.
Bunny ASMR
Miso is the little bunny who could.
He was originally pulled from a hoarding situation in Ohio that was so extensive, we wound up taking in 9 bunnies from the case.
The little guy has overcome so much already and arrived mostly blind due to complications from E. Cuniculi. He is 100% blind in his right eye and 50% blind in his left eye.
Due to his vision impairment, he is a bit tense in new settings, as he relies on his other senses to navigate. This means he doesnât attend many adoption events because they stress him out too much.
Once he feels safe though, heâs like the Eeyore of rabbits. Gentle and calm. Miso loves to climb on his foster families couch and watch TV with them.
We believe heâs 1-2 years old. Heâs neutered, great with his litter box, and now searching for a forever family of his very own.
With him not able to attend adoption events due to the stress of not being able to see new environments/get acclimated quickly, his chances of adoption are lower than weâd like, but he deserves a family.
Miso would thrive with someone who can provide him a calm, stable environment where he can feel secure. His enclosure should always stay pretty much the same, so that he always knows where things are.
Heâs an inspiration to us and we hope his perfect family finds him soon.
If thatâs you, apply to adopt him here: https://forms.gle/xatrAFuJh65GYqTG9
And turn up your volume for a little bunny ASMR!
Loved!
From abandoned to adored!
Omar is thriving in his foster home! Free roam, fresh greens, and all the love he could ever want - what could be better?
This sweet boy went from being dumped outside to living the luxury bunny life.
He was part of the O Colony, where a call about 1 dumped bunny quickly turned into 12+. Omar was found near one of his deceased friends and has seen so much.
It took awhile for him to come out of his shell, but thereâs nothing love canât do!
Now, heâs ready for a foster to adopt home where he can continue to enjoy the good life.

Crunch crunch crunch!
Wonder is on her way to see Dr. Trickel at Hawthorne Animal Hospital right now for x-rays.
She came to us last week with twisted hind legs and deformed hip sockets. Prior to rescue, 2 families had already tried to fix her legs with DIY braces, which made the situation significantly worse.
Being only 4 months old, finding a correct diagnosis and solution is imperative so that she can finish growing safely - more damage being done to her legs.
Wonder is such a happy girl and doesnât let anything slow her down. A couple of minutes ago we got this cute video of her munching on greens between zoomies. Wonder is filled with joy!
Crunch, crunch, crunch!
Vet visits like hers are critical and costly. If youâd like to support Wonder and help cover her medical expenses, please consider donating here: http://dollysdreamhome.org/donate
Every little bit makes a huge difference for bunnies like her.
Please keep your fingers crossed for answers today! Thank you for cheering Wonder on!
Happy Holidays!
Happy holidays from Dollyâs Dream Home Rabbit Rescue!
Before we dive into cookies and carrot cake, weâve got some very important thank yous to share with all the amazing humans who keep this bunny rescue hopping along.
To our volunteers: You brave bunny wranglers, poop scoopers, late night transport warriors. We couldnât do this without you. Youâve literally crawled under trailers, climbed fences, and probably ruined a few outfits in the process, all in the name of saving buns. Who needs a gym membership when youâve got this level of cardio?
To our donors: Youâre the reason our bunnies get to have the basics such as hay, fresh greens, and food pellets. Your generosity keeps us going through vet bills, supply runs, and those surprise, "we just rescued 12 more bunnies at midnight" moments. Without you, weâd be rationing lettuce leaves and praying for miracles.
To our fosters: You are the backbone of this rescue. You open your homes (and occasionally sacrifice your carpet) to bunnies who need a soft place to land. You deal with chewed cords, the messiness of litter training, and that one bun who still insists on thumping every night at 3am. You do it all with patience and love. Youâre the reason these buns have a chance to heal, feel safe, and find their forever families.
To our adopters: Youâre the heroes who take our little friends and give them a life of luxury. From timid babies to grumpy senior buns, youâve expanded your families to give every single bunny their happy ending. To you, theyâre family members. It doesnât matter if they were rescued from a butcher, dumped outside, neglected, or other, every single bunny is now a treasured member of a family thanks to you.
To our vet team: Youâre miracle workers who handle our 6am âthis bunny canât waitâ calls, countless dental surgeries, emergency spays, and every off the wall case we throw your way. Youâve saved bunnies that seemed unsaveable and never once flinched at
Bunny Being Dumped
Since we shared that Moon is now adoptable, the video of her being dumped in front of Dollyâs Dream Store is trending again.
There is a lot of new controversy in the comments of the OP about if what Moons owner did was right or not. So letâs cut to the chase and be absolutely clear: what happened to Moon was cruel, irresponsible, and completely unacceptable.
Moon was intentionally abandoned in the dead of night (at 3:30 in the morning), left in below-freezing temperatures for hours. She was not left in front of a rescue. She was left in front of our bunny supply storefront on a day we were closed. During that time, 4 people approached her carrier, opened it, and messed with her.
Being a helpless, terrified rabbit who couldnât defend herself, Moon is remarkably lucky to be alive. The area where she was dumped has a very active homeless population at night, and they found her before we did. Thankfully, weâre familiar with many of them and often help with food and clothing when we can, so luckily no one harmed Moon this time. But it was still a dangerous situation - she was lucky that the people who opened her cage to play with her were individuals weâve built trust with.
Letâs stop making excuses for this.
This wasnât a âwell everyone was full, so she had to do what she had to doâ or a âbetter than dumpingâ scenario. This was a blatant failure of basic decency. Moonâs owner had multiple chances to do the right thing after purchasing her from a reptile show due to cuteness factor. She had the opportunity to surrender her properly to Dollyâs, to get her to another rescue, or to reach out for help. Instead, Moons owner ghosted us after filling out a surrender request form, ignored every single attempt we made to contact her, then dumped her like trash months later.
To the people saying, âAt least they didnât eat herâ or âAt least she wasnât dumped in the wildâ - really? Thatâs the bar weâre setting now? Dumping her outsi
Sir Snuggles Playing Soccer
Adoptable bunny Sir Snuggles is 8 years old. Since arriving at Dollyâs, heâs discovered his true passion in lifeâŚsports.
Thatâs right. This senior athlete doesnât let age slow him down. Anytime his human foster siblings pull out any kind of sports equipment, Sir Snuggles is on it. He wants to play too!
In the attached video, you can see him playing soccer like a pro. (Messi who?) And if you check the comments, youâll find him trying to âhelpâ during an indoor hockey game. His foster parents had to put him behind a pen for that one because he kept stealing the ball and making a break for it.
Can you even believe this guy is a senior? Heâs clearly got the energy of a rookie and the charm of a seasoned MVP.
Sir Snuggles is looking for his forever home, ideally one with a loving family and maybe a little space for his budding sports career.
