Luv-A-Bun Memoirs

When there is extra cage space at Luv A Bun, I am able assist Palm Beach County’s animal shelter by taking some bunnies.  This is so rewarding on many levels and I always look forward to the opportunity when I am able to do so.  On this particular visit, Animal Care and Control had many bunnies – perhaps 12.  There were no more shelter cages available as they were all taken by cats and the many rabbits. While there weren’t any more conventional cages left to hold bunnies, Animal Care and Control made accomodations by using donated rabbit cages and putting them on a table.  As I walked into the front room, I didn’t know where to look first…there were babies, lops, and fuzzy fluffy bunnies.  Some were scared and scrunched up in the corner of their cage while others stretched out in total contentment.  On the floor in a hay lined cage there was a little white bunny with beautiful blue eyes running in circles while making an unusual chirping sound.   I have never heard such a sound from a bunny before.   I knelt down next to his cage to say hello.  With excitement and curiosity he perched on his back feet to say a hello and quickly went  back to running in circles.  I took a look  at all the other bunnies but my eyes kept going back to the circling and chirping bunny that was behaving much like a locked up dog in a puppy mill.  I could see his outgoing personality was stifled and not able to shine….he was abandoned…he lost his home…he was left at a shelter. I went over and touched his nose and told him there would be no more nervous circling or anxious chirping for him…he was coming with me, to Luv A Bun Rabbit Rescue.

One day someone was browsing through Craigslist reading about all the animals that needed new homes.  She saw a post about a little gray bunny that was no longer wanted.  With curiosity, she read the post and clicked on the provided YouTube link.  The video was promised to bring laughter…after all it was about a dancing bunny.  Upon watching the video she did not see a dancing bunny but a mistreated bunny as it was violently swung back and forth by a two year old.  With laughter in the background of the video this nice person knew she needed to go and get this bunny.  Gary is now safe and happy at Luv A Bun but due to his previous career as a “dancing bunny” he needs an extra daily hug and a little more bunny snuggles to learn to trust again.  GarGarGary,Luv A Bun and bunny fans are giving you lots of cyber hugs and kisses!!!
