Welcome Daphne!

We want to welcome a beautiful rabbit into our rescue. Just yesterday, Daphne joined our Hug-a-Bunny family. We rescued her last-minute from a bad situation. After living with a family for several years, Daphne was dumped at a local shelter when they no longer wanted her. She arrived with some health concerns that needed to be taken care of. After recovering and settling in there, it seemed like no one was interested in an older rabbit! Months would pass and people would adopt other rabbits, but not Daphne. She was always shy, but polite, but people would continue to overlook her.

Finally, after 5 months of living in a small cage with no time out to explore, Daphne lunged at a volunteer who was moving things around in her cage. It's not surprising that she was upset after all she'd been through! Since she was not spayed at the time and was frustrated from being abandoned and kept in a small space, it's not surprising to hear that Daphne felt the need to protect herself. While this cage aggression was an isolated incident (it never happened before or again), we knew her time there was over. Rumors began to spread that Daphne, who had a different name at the time, was on borrowed time. We had only a few days to make something work. Scrambling, we made some emergency room in a foster home so that she could be safe. Luckily, Daphne will never be in harm's way again. While she's much happier now, Daphne is still on the lookout for a more comfy foster home where she'll have more room to stretch her legs.

Daphne is now safe and resting quietly in her foster home. She's a stunning black and white female French Lop and she's about 4 1/2- 5 years old. She was recently spayed, which is so important for both her health and behavior. She has been a perfect lady in foster care and already uses her litterbox to go to the bathroom! Not only that, but she's very affectionate! Daphne loves to lay down close to people to have her head petted and kissed. She's eating well (she's a bit on the skinny side) and is making up for lost time. After all she's been through, we want to make sure that Daphne is safe and happy forever. We've told Daphne that she never has to worry again! Take one look at this stunning face and you can't help but fall in love! Stay updated for more information about Daphne as she settles into the rescue!

Welcome Daphne! We hope your forever, loving home comes along quickly!
