The winner of our random Easter gift basket during our Easter event was so sweet! She gave a full speed running hug to our amazing volunteer, Mrs. B
Thank you to everyone who has donated to the care of our bunnies! We enjoy being around children and giving back to those who are just as loving towards our little buns. Congrats to this little one!

"Instagram vs reality" is the best way to describe how much this baby wanted to nap and stop taking cute photos 🤭
This bunny is currently available for adoption along with his bonded paired friend! Check our "available" pinned post on Facebook or highlight reel on Instagram to see who we still currently have available for you to bring home to your family!
These boys were so sweet and handsome. So happy each of them were able to find loving homes this week. These videos were just a little too cute to pass on posting. Enjoy some giant bunny-tonin!

Just a firm reminder that this is unacceptable. We should NOT still be receiving surrenders that look like this. There is no excuse. The vet will do it, we do it for $5, your friends can do it, you can learn and do it in 10 minutes or less, clinics will do it, shelters will do it, other rescues will do it, Tractor supply and Petsmart both have animal events where people can do it, livestock swap meets is guaranteed to have someone that does it. Please stop causing suffering because of your own procrastination and laziness.

Here's the other two out of the group of four bunnies that came together to board with us this summer! This was their first time with us and they did really well!! The main two in this reel were not bonded so they each had their own floor of the double decker hutch. They took turns roaming their extra space and every couple of days we would put them together in a separate exercise pen to socialize. Eventually with enough interactions they will be able to live together more peacefully. During their stay with us we were able to to intervals of 5-10 minutes with each interaction and they both show a lot of potential to be bonded later on!
Our bunny boarding fee is $10/day per rabbit if you include all needed foods. (Greens, or a gift card to purchase greens if you buns would like to have those during their stay). If we provide the food for them and you just bring your bun, the boarding fee is $15/day per rabbit. We do require a note with detailed instructions or information that we may need to know. They will receive a free nail trim and you have the option to include a prevention treatment ($10) for fleas/ticks/ear mites/fur mites/and some worms. It is not required but if we spot any on them it will automatically be added at your expense to protect your bun and all the others we assist in the future. The boarding fee is charged per calendar day regardless what time you pick up, and it must be prepaid to hold your spot! We stopped accepting payments afterwards because too many were getting abandoned with us and they were not going through the proper steps to surrender them the right way. Sorry!

Little Herbert came back again this summer to board with us! His mama always brings his own little enclosure with a pen for him to roam around in. He gets plenty of greens and treats and as you can see he's very spoiled!

This little sassy pants boarded with us this summer and we worked on litterbox training and using new pellet distributing toys to help pass the time. It was always a fun game of jumping when we stepped in the pen and our feet were charged at 😂 the grunts and sassy growls will be missed!

These two cuties got to stay with us this summer for the first time ever! They came all the way from the Winston Salem area!
Our bunny boarding is provided through our best qualified foster in their home. The price is $10/day per bun if you provide all of their food for those days. If you do not provide the food and the rescue buys it, then the price will be $15/day. If the amount of food you provided does not last the duration of their stay, we will only charge $15/day for the days the rescue provided their food. We will contact you if this is the case!
All boarded rabbits will have an area for free roaming and a double decker hutch or corral/pen to sleep in overnight. You may bring any toys or home items to make their stay more comfortable! Even their enclosure, if you'd like. (As long as it isn't massive).
During their stay they will receive free grooming and nail trim. We also offer flea/tick/mites/worms prevention that lasts 30 days and only costs $10. You may decline this offer, however, if we notice any fleas or mites during their stay it will automatically be applied and added to your bill. We will show proof before doing this so you understand it is justified. This is to protect all rabbits at our rescue, including yours!
Please submit a note with your bunbun that explains the daily routine you'd like for us to follow along with any produce they are not allowed to have (because we share extras when we have leftovers), as well as any special requests.
The rate is charged per calendar day regardless when you drop off/pick up. You may always adjust and we will refund any unused days that you sent your deposit for already. Your reservation is only confirmed with payment so once you have determined whether you'd like to provide their food and/or include the prevention treatment, you may send the total to us via

On June 12th we held our monthly charity visit at the Alzheimers Related Care facility to let all patients pet our bunnies! We don't always get to have verbal encounters with them but when we do it's a good time!

As always, we are honored to bring smiles to this part of the community, often forgotten.
In the spotlight we have:
Raven, a gorgeous male flemish giant. Currently available for $75
Cynthia, a beautiful Holland Lop with partial blue eyes. Currently available for $50
Hashbrown, a beautiful Holland Lop with brown eyes. Currently adopted!
All 3 as loving as ever.
Please stay tuned for updates on their availability as we do not edit previous captions to reflect their availability.

We had a rescue contact us that was unfortunately closing down and they had these 3 beautiful midnight flemish giants. These three sweet babies are so gentle! All 3 are males. The oldest and biggest is 3.5 years old while the other two are 2 years old. They are all litterbox trained and NEUTERED. We also have each of these rabbit cages available for purchase while supplies last. Please understand it is a separate charge as we use supplies to help fund their food.
Adoption Fee: $75 each

For the past almost 3 months we unfortunately had to stop all services. We did not receive a single new surrender nor did we adopt any out until very recently. We have not read any of the 375 messages we have on Facebook or the 27 on Instagram. We have not added to our already existing surrender waiting list of 193. We were way over our capacity limit and essentially what ended up happening is any additional volunteers we had moved away, went to school or left due to the military. Once that happened, this entire rescue is now being operated by 1 individual person who is having to balance that between 3 jobs. It was an impossible task and it still is. We are heavily considering shutting down because we just do not have the support we need from the community. Due to the economy and everyone else struggling maintaining their own lives, we haven't been able to sell any supplies, we haven't received any monetary or physical donations, we haven't had any boarders to offset some costs with their boarding fee and we haven't been able to take anyone to the clinic to get spayed and neutered. We don't have any grants.
We need blankets
We need hay, feed, produce
Receiving surrenders can only go as fast as we adopt them out and only two people have asked in the last 3 months.
We need you.
You can help us even if you are unable to donate. You can help us even if you don't have time to attend events. You can help us by sharing our posts, liking and commenting under them to increase their chances on the radar. Advertisement from every single one of you is free.
What we will be doing now:
-We will be posting all of the content we haven't had time to yet, including nursing home visits and the only event we have done recently.
-We will be posting every single bunny we currently have so they can get adopted
-We will not be taking any surrenders until we can get out of this rut, and if that cannot happen, then we will be closing.
Thank you to everyone who has checked in and asked i
Come see us today at the awesome festival Lenoir Community College is hosting for their students today from 10-3!
