Always a great time at Midwest BunFest & what an incredible weekend.

We were honored to present our special interest educational session on Navigating the Human-Animal Bond: Grief, Stress, and Support Resources for Caregivers. It was an intimate and engaging discussion, & thank you to those who shared your stories and your tears with us.

Please never apologize for crying; it’s a natural expression of the love and bond you share. We’re grateful to be a safe space for that. You are in the right place in this wonderful bunny loving community.

Many of you expressed interest in volunteering, fostering, or getting more involved with Snickerdoodles' - and even in starting your own rescues or improving access to rabbit care in your communities.

We love these conversations and the collective brainstorming that helps bridge gaps for both humans and bunnies alike.

We also raised an amazing amount of funds for our rescue this weekend! Congrats to our raffle winners, and thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated and stopped by - our foster buns will be spoiled with hay, toys, treats, and goodies thanks to your generosity… we're talking bags & bags of hay and yummy treats!!!

Our cars are filled with the scent of hay, herbs, and balsa blocks - and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

We truly love this community, the friendships we’ve built, and seeing so many familiar faces who travel just to reconnect each year and see us. Until next time, BunFest family - thank you for making it so special.

Foster bunny, Pear, has his neuter surgery day next week!

Read more about him and what his wonderful foster family has to say:

“Pearbear has been a lovey dumpling. He gets his morning scratches and head kisses. I can’t wait for this boy to find his forever home. He’s going to be such a family man.

Oh and can’t forget his goofball antics like cups in the water dish, playing in his water dish, and flipping over his blanket and beds for no reason. He doesn’t chew them up- just flips them. And zoomies when it’s most inconvenient (bedtime and early morning)”

Pear is also litter box trained, and quite the engineer.

“You guys should’ve seen him try to pull his tent into his tunnel. He tried very hard and then he turned the tent around and thought about if he could make it fit that way”.

His fosters say that he's the most interactive bun they've met, and the kids and Pear do well together as he gets handfed like a prince.

Could you be Pear’s lucky person and adopt him as your companion?

Baby the bunny needs a new home:

Baby’s caregiver is experiencing a health crisis and is looking to re-home responsibly. She was rescued from an abusive/neglectful situation and has had a long journey. Her caregiver was able to provide them with care, vet treatment and back on track to health. Baby is partially blind in one eye due to an ulcer prior to abandonment in a classroom. Accustomed to indoor living with an x-pen.

Baby is 5 years old, SPAYED with documentation/vet records, and litter box trained.

Parma, OH

If you're interested in adopting Baby or learning more about her - please let us know, so we can connect you directly with the caregiver.

We often receive inquiries asking if certain bunnies “like to be held” or if we have any that are “extra cuddly”.

Rabbits are soft & gentle looking, and it's natural to want to hold and snuggle them. However, it’s important to understand that most rabbits do not actually enjoy being held.

This is not a reflection of their temperament or friendliness. Rabbits are prey animals by nature, and being lifted off the ground can instinctively cause fear or panic.

Every rabbit has a unique comfort level, and it is essential to respect that. When we speak with potential adopters, we take the time to learn more about their household and experience.

It takes more than just answering what the bunny is like - because it truly also depends on what YOU are like, and how your family and children respond.

Even bunnies that are well socialized may still feel uncomfy with handling, and those that tolerate it may respond differently to another.

How experienced are you and your family with handling small animals? How would you respond if a bunny resisted being held or became frightened? Is your home generally calm or more active and noisy? Are there other pets in the home, and how might they interact with a rabbit?

And.... no, skipping these questions on the application or in live conversation does not bypass you to adoption quicker.

If your goal is to just find a small critter that frequently enjoys snuggling every single time you want it to - a rabbit may not be the best match.

These questions are not meant to be judgmental. They help us determine whether an adoption is the right fit for both the rabbit and the family. Understanding the household environment allows us to provide education and support that lead to successful placements & stronger bonds.

We recently received a report that this double-maned Lionhead baby had been spotted in a neighborhood for quite sometime - some residents believe since February.

Thanks to caring community members who worked together, this little one was finally caught & brought indoors.

Through their collaboration and quick action, and with the prompt response of one of our dedicated rescue leaders in the area, this frightened bun was secured and brought back to safe placement at Snickerdoodles'.

During intake, their coat appeared to be matted with lots of burrs and briars. Despite the hardships & unknowns, they are already showing remarkable resilience, adjusting to their new environment, and discovering what real bunny food should taste like.

We've taken in a significant number of new rabbits lately... and you've seen little Blank on the previous post.

With each intake comes additional veterinary expenses, supplies, and ongoing care needs. If you’re able, please consider making a donation to help us continue making sure they thrive!

From getting this bunny fully vetted, spayed/neutered, hay and enrichment... we need your help.

Meet Blank!

Another rabbit safely rescued.

Thanks to a caring community member, he recognized little Blank didn't belong outside and took quick action. He was able to gently pick him up and bring him indoors, where our rescue volunteer in the area responded promptly to assess and transport back to Snickerdoodles'.

He is indeed a Dwarf bun & is even smaller than he looks in these photos, and may be older than he appears. Just a tiny little man with a sweet disposition.

Now safe in foster care, Blank will soon receive a full wellness exam and neuter before beginning his journey to find a loving, house rabbit knowledgeable forever home.

His super foster says:

“Blank likes his face and eyes rubbed. He laid down on my bed and I got him to enjoy the eye rubs while laying on my bed. He has learned what petting is, perhaps”.

If you'd like to support Blank on his adventure to health and full potential:

Overnight Oats has been waiting over 6 months (that's 185 days!) in foster care for his forever family.

Oats is the happiest little construction worker you’ll ever see on four paws…As you may recall, he was abandoned outside and at risk of being placed out into the woods where he wouldn't have survived.

Our field rescue coordinator went out late at night to meet with a compassionate community member that helped with his rescue & to transport him back for intake and care.

We've since gotten him neutered, vetted and litter box trained. (He's a champion at using the toilet!)

His foster has been incredible - putting in so much work to keep his space tidy, but Overnight Oats knows what he likes, and he’ll quickly re-arrange things to fit his personal blueprint.

(We think he secretly works in construction - moving furniture, reorganizing accessories, making sure everything is just so).

Did we mention that he binkies across his Foster's couch like he's on a trampoline??

He'd make a wonderful companion, and we provide free education & support to help with the bonding process if your bun is looking for a friend.

All that’s missing is the family who will see what a treasure he is and give him the loving forever home he deserves.

Alumni Update!

Our little alumni bread bun, Pita, is thoroughly enjoying her time with her forever family and bonded companion, Raisin.

Can we talk about how SWEET they look together?!

When introducing bunnies, it's important that both are spayed & neutered, and to start in a neutral space where neither bun feels territorial.

One method can be to use the bathtub for short bonding dates - providing a safe, neutral area and easily supervised for intervening when needed.

Pita’s family put in the time, patience and dedication to help these two buns get to know each other and communication with our team , and we think the buns would agree that it's been successful!

Her family says:

“They free roam in the area we usually hang out in the evening to watch TV and they just cuddle up with each other! 🥹”

Cheers to more adventures together & a lifelong bond!

Kirby, welcome to Snickerdoodles' 🩷

Here's some late night shenanigans for you. This little lady was abandoned in someone's yard, left to navigate a world of danger.

Including cats nearby…sure, she may have wanted to inhale them and turn herself into a cat, Kirby style, but that would've been a very short, hazardous fight.

Fortunately, a compassionate individual intervened, who recognized that domestic bunnies don't belong outside.

Kirby shared a special moment of trust and she was able to scoop her right up.

Our rescue team responded quickly to coordinate and transported her back to our rescue foster placement for initial intake.

Upon assessment, we discovered a distressing situation: numerous nails were torn, blistered over, or otherwise damaged, while others had overgrown and begun to curl.

This is terribly painful for rabbits. Our professional bun nail trimmer cleaned her right up, providing comfort & much needed relief.

Kirby handled it all so well like the ultimate mini bun hero she is. Next on her journey: a wellness check and work up with our vet & a spay, before she’s ready for a loving, house rabbit knowledgeable forever home.

You can help Kirby power-up her recovery and health by donating here:

WOW. Just… WOW. Our 2nd Annual Pet Memorial Golf Outing blew us away – together, we raised $3,630 for the bunnies at Snickerdoodles’! That’s TWO TIMES what we raised last year, and every single dollar is going directly into their care.

Think about what that means: a dozen spay/neuters, urgent medical treatment for abandoned bunnies, and the safety net that allows us to say “yes” when another rabbit needs rescue. YOU made that possible.

Thank you to:

-the players & teams that showed up ready & early to golf and support the buns.

-our fantastic volunteer crew that welcomed our guests, set up, educated by sharing our mission, brought caffeine to our early risers, our golf cart brothers that made sure folks were fueled and had beverages & snacks - every volunteer that supported.

-our golf outing mastermind and overlord, number cruncher, bunny loving champion and coordinator volunteer extraordinaire: the one & only TERRANCE - who made sure this event soared.

-the incredible MayFair Country Club for opening their doors, supporting our cause, and helping us host this awesome event.

-our generous Sponsors who also prove how powerful community can be, stepping up to help and celebrate animals and families in need.

and let's not forget… these unbelievable bunny TROPHIES. 🏆 Congrats to the award winners! Plus, our special celebrity guest, Avidity, made an appearance.

This outing wasn’t just about golf: it's about honoring beloved animal companions and creating change for vulnerable animals. Every donation, every hour volunteered, every swing on the course carried that spirit of remembrance forward.

It’s a direct line from your generosity to their survival and well-being, and we are deeply grateful to every single person who made this possible.

Update on our baby bun that was rescued from being abandoned outside after her companion passed away and her family no longer wanted her —

She now has a name: Midnight Sodapop!

Thanks to a generous donor, so far she has received young rabbit pellets, hay enrichment mats, a foraging snuffle pad, and stacking cups.

Midnight Sodapop has been busy hopping from one toy to the next, proving that this little soda pop really does fizz with joy when she has enrichment to explore.

For baby bunnies, enrichment isn’t just play - it’s vital for their growth and wellbeing. Activities like foraging, chewing, and exploring keep them mentally sharp, physically active, and help prevent destructive behaviors.

These donations allow us to provide exactly that, creating a safe and stimulating environment for developing buns like Midnight Sodapop.

Every item donated goes straight into action, and your support has a direct impact on their daily lives.

Want to help more bunnies thrive like little Sodapop?
