When Covid-19 arrived on our shores, our family decided to help the local shelter place a bunny.
We were thrilled to welcome Ash to our home, although we have had to be patient over the past 2 months, letting him come to us as he gained confidence in his surroundings. He is starting to play with his ‘toys’ and explore outside of his sleeping enclosure now and we hope soon he will allow us to cuddle him, at present he loves to be stroked but rebuffs any move to pick him up.
While at Rabbit Haven we were impressed with the dedication of staff toward caring for the bunnies awaiting their forever homes. We went through a process of making sure Ash felt comfortable with us before we were able to leave with him and the director of the shelter made sure our personalities were a match. Thats a level of care that reflects the love they have for these beautiful prey animals.

Hopefully in July, Rabbit Haven will be able to hold their annual fundraiser (in person or online) and I have donated a painting for auction to help raise needed funds. I’ll share details of the auction when it is announced. Hopefully they raise some good funds.
Ash reminds us every day with his shy nature to be gentle….the world needs it.
