Clyde is all settled into his new foster home in Ottawa. Last night his human foster sister even read him a bedtime story about bunnies!

He will be available for adoption after his neuter in September. 😊

As you schedule your next vet exam and play pirates, remember to regularly check for abnormalities in your rabbit's eyes! Your vet will check, but the sooner you catch a problem, the faster it can be resolved, or at least stop it from getting worse.

You wouldn't want your bun needing an eye patch!

I am late! With everything happening lately and it’s been so busy I haven’t been able to announce! But here are some other Ottawa adoptions we have had in the last several weeks!

Lily Rose hopped into her foster to adopt home many months ago in hopes to bond to their bunny butters, unfortunately they were not a match after a long process and lots of time, they just could not picture their home and family without her. They live on seperate floors of the house and soak in all of the human love and attention they can get! Lily rose was at home the whole time ♥️ 🌹 hoppy furever sweetie

Queeny now Luna has been adopted by one of our previous fosters, she lost her beloved Flemish a while back and fostered a few of our ALRR bunnies, when they were adopted she inquired about having Queeny come stay at her house and seeing if hopefully it would be a good fit, and it took a bit of time but she settled in after a few weeks and now is VERY much at home, happy, made friends with the cat and loves her hoomans so much! She is always looking for her next adventure and she even gets to go to the cottage with them! We love you beautiful girl! Xoxo 💕🐰

Lastly is Foster fail Jemma! Of course we knew that this little baby deer would never leave Janet’s home, and she has now bonded and fallen in love with ALRR T Rex! It warms my heart so much that they are together with the most amazing mama Janet. Mr T. rex still has some vetting to complete again on his teeth in the fall but he is a happy camper and everyone adores him and they are the cutest couple.

Yay bunnies!!! 🐰🐰🐰🥰🥰🥰

Our bunnies safely made it to Ottawa from Thunder Bay! We made the hard decision to send 4 of our little fuzzballs up to Ottawa to get vetted and eventually adopted because of how much harder it is in Thunder Bay to find adopters. Bunny people up here are few and far between. We are so incredibly thankful to Northern Reach Network for allowing our bunnies on board the bark bus to Sudbury! Without you guys it wouldn’t be possible. They are an amazing group of devoted wonderful people who work so hard to get these pups where they need to be to start their new lives!

From Sudbury, Janet and her hubby picked the bunnies up from them and drove the rest of the way back to Ottawa. A very long trip! I’ve done this trip many times myself and it is definitely a two day trip each time I’ve done it and stopping a lot along the way to check on the animals.

Everyone stopped to stretch their legs in Sudbury in the pop up pens and had a good drink of water and some nibbles, the bunnies that travelled were Bonnie and Clyde the angora Lionhead mixes that were bred over and over their whole lives that we got in the fall and they have come SUCH a long way! As well as our moo cow flemish/newzealand mix bonded pair Moo (black and white) and Jersey! (Brown and white bigger) everyone is settling in well and are leaving to their Ottawa foster families this weekend.

We have already scheduled Bonnie and Clyde in for their vetting in September, and the moo girls in October. Please send me your fundraising ideas!

My heart absolutely breaks to let you all know that Hope gained her angel wings this afternoon 💔😭

She was rushed in to OAESH earlier today because she was having trouble breathing and we were very worried about her. If you didn’t know, Hope was a permanent resident in ALRRs care for a year with her foster mum Sophie. We always knew that Hope didn’t have a ton of time with us, but with lots of vet visits/bloodwork and regular fluids to help her kidney disease she was on the uphill. Our regular vet was very happy with how she was doing and she was so happy. So fast today she took a turn for the worst and her foster called me immediately she was struggling to breathe and I called absolutely everyone while I was at work since it was a Sunday and we thankfully got in at OAESH and they had a rabbit vet there today. In literally 20 minutes from the drive from her foster mums house to the vet she basically had almost stopped breathing altogether and they rushed her to the back to get her on oxygen and put an IV catheter into her and assess her. This is when we found out not only was her renal system likely already failing but her lungs sounded so crackly/she had Mets in her lungs and she was bleeding through her va**na which meant cancer had likely spread throughout her entire body. We always knew that cancer could be very likely at some point as she was 7 years old and couldn’t be spayed medically because she would not survive a surgery. We were absolutely devastated and our only option was to have her humanely euthanized so she didn’t have to suffer any longer. Everything happened SO fast, she was in the arms of Sophie her mumma the entire time and she wasn’t alone. 😭❤️‍🩹 Everyone is heartbroken 😔 we loved you so much hope and we were so happy you were doing so well. I’m just so thankful she got to live a spoiled happy year and know what it was like to be a spoiled house bun with mum Sophie and her bff Romeo 🐶 We decided to do private cremation so Sophie can keep her with her forever. We will always remember you Hope. 💕Binky free sweet little fluffy cloud 🐰😓🌈

🐇This of course was so unexpected and urgent, we could really, really, use your assistance with the bill today. We unfortunately had to use the money we had finally saved up set aside for Bonnie and Clyde’s spay/neuter and we still need to fundraise for our next bunnies that need to go for spays and vaccines. If anyone has any fundraising ideas at all please email us. Our EMT/Paypal/Email is:

Thank you all for your continued support, please enjoy a video of Hope in her happy days 🌈

Our poor girl Hope is on her way to the emergency vet right now.

She is having difficulty breathing and is drooling. 😢

Last night her poops were so tiny but she was eating her treats and we tried to give her extra fluids and critical care but she has not perked up.

Unfortunately her renal system has had previous issues, so it’s possible they are shutting down completely now. 😭 We are so upset, but she is with her foster mama which is the best place she can be.

Come on little Hope 🩷😭💜

We expect today’s bill at Lola to be quite expensive, so if you would like to contribute to her care please emt to [email protected]

Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for having us Arnprior & District Humane Society

Happy Thankful Thursday!

We hope everyone has had a good start to the month of August! (How the heck is it August already? 🤯)

This week we want to send overdue thanks to all the wonderful volunteers and hardworking individuals who attended and made this year's Rally for Rescue - Year 2! possible on July 27th!

This year we welcomed more rescues and even had rabbits represented this year! It was a beautiful sunny summer day and ideal for getting out with the family to enjoy a BBQ, shop the rescues and vendors that had so many amazing activities and items available for sale, and learn about these many amazing organizations! This event means a lot to us, as the rescue world is small and takes lots of dedication, commitment, and a passionate love for animals. It means a lot to be able to bring so many wonderful organizations together for a day to come together as a community and support each other and hopefully make connections and find new fans and followers for their organizations. Afterall, rescue is all about community coming together and everyday folks giving their time and energy to the animals. 🐾💕

Big thank you to the attendees for joining us!

Dear ALRR Family,

Yesterday we were visited by animal welfare/bylaw, as well, members of our board of directors were also visited.

As you may not be aware, we run ALRR from our home, and our board members also care for animals in each of their homes. This means they had to check the welfare of both our personal animals, as well as any fosters in care.

What should come as no surprise to anyone, is that Ashley, as well as the other members, passed with flying colours. The officer was very impressed with our set up and was even petting Muffin (who as we know loves attention from anyone).

It hurts us to know that a member of the community is targeting us with false claims and accusations. Unfortunately in these situations, it is the animals who are harmed the most. We have dedicated our life to rabbits and will continue to do so.

As a board we are disappointed in this behaviour, but will continue to welcome bylaw, PAWS and law enforcement into our homes anytime. We promise to cooperate to the fullest extent of this, or any future investigation.

We wanted you to hear the news from us first as we value transparency. Should you have any questions, we are open to having a discussion with you. Please email [email protected] with your questions and a member of our team will be happy to answer you!

Thank you,

The ALRR Board of Directors

Hello ALRR Family,

It is unfortunate that we have to make this post, but as a board we feel we have no other option.

It’s recently come to our attention that our page has become a target for false accusations and harassment. We have zero tolerance for this.

Bullying and any negative comments directed to us will incur an immediate ban from our page.
Any further comments will be considered as harassment and slander against the organization and the appropriate legal action may be taken.

We are all trying to do what’s best for the rabbits, and not everyone’s situations will look the same. Should you have any questions about the rabbits in the care of ALRR please reach out to us privately and a team member will be happy to answer your questions.

Thank you,

The ALRR Board of Directors
