Bugz – A bunny with a lot of “mite”
Jun 30th
Bugz was found running
loose on a Delray Golf Course. Golfers reported him romping on the green for over 4 months. When Bugz was finally caught, he was covered in mites from his ears to his toes to his tail. We took him to the vet and he was infested with 4 different types of mites. He was covered in them so badly that he had to be quarantined at Lantana/Atlantis Animal Hospital for a week. These pictures were taken a few days after treatment. You can imagine how bad it was. All the mites responded well to the Revolution treatment and he is now in his tender loving foster home. We are so glad to have been able to rescue him because this sweet poor boy was certainly suffering.
The Easter Bunny “dump” has already started
Apr 12th
Every Easter, thousands of bunnies are purchased for young children who beg for an Easter bunny all of their own. Soon thereafter, reality sets in and the cute little bunny that was purchased on impulse now finds itself dumped at the local shelter or let loose in the park. This year, it has happened sooner than expected. Just a week after Easter our county shelter received up to 15 bunnies. Luv A Bun was able to take two – certainly not enough, but that is all the room we have right now. Animal Care and Control will do their best to put all of them up for adoption and give each one a fair chance at finding a new home.
Happy Spring!

Penelope is sitting pretty now that she has been rescued.
Penelope was a through away bunny. No longer wanted. No longer loved. No longer cared for. She was rescued off the streets. She has received a lot of TLC and her injuries have all healed. Sadly, her bonded mate did not survive living in the wild. If you are considering adopting a bunny please remember that they are a ten year commitment and not a novelty in and Easter Basket. Please read about rabbit care and behavior to see if a rabbit is the right pet for you and your family
