Resolved! BIG girl at local humane society

[undergunfire]

I know the chances here are slim, but I am hoping someone will want to rescue this big girl and give her the loving home she deserves. I have spent time with "MyGirl" and shes an absolute doll. She loves to tooth purr & flop out next to you. All this girl wants is to love and be loved.

I think she's around 2-4 years old. She's about 8lbs and has grey/white/cream markings. She also has a little black heart shape on her back :hearts.

I don't mind going and paying the $20 adoption fee and fostering her until she can be picked up or flown to you.

It just breaks my heart and she needs a home so bad :tears2:. Rabbits around here probably don't end up in good homes because of their tiny adoption fee.

Its about $219 to fly rabbits in the US. I have seen people come together to adopt buns from out of state and I am hoping that someone will want to love MyGirl because AZ seriously lacks GOOD bunny homes :sigh:

...What's her story?

She's such a sad looking girlie.

 

[mistyjr]

She does look sad and old... Poor girl

 

[SweetSassy]

She is beautiful...Wish I had the room. *sigh*

I have no idea....she was an owner surrender. She does look sad in the pictures, but once I hopped into her pen, she was as happy as can be - you could just see it in her big eyes. Just breaks my heart. I wish I could take her home to foster...but I am leaving in May for dog grooming school for 3 months and I'd need to be sure she'd get adopted by then .

I'm going to go to PetSmart tomorrow to spend time with her. Every time I go I have to stay longer then I want to, so I can talk myself out of taking her home :tears2:.

I want to add that transport to California will be possible sometime between mid/end January - early March. I'm going to be going to the Corona area to check out a dog grooming school.

Awww she is such a sweetie. I really wish my housing situation was more flexible/ certain. I really hope she finds a home. Please let us know if she gets adopted.

Whats up with your housing situation, if you don't mind my asking? Not allowed another rabbit because of renting or something ?

How do you think she would do with bonding?
Is she domminent or submissive?
How is she with the litter box?
Spayed?
Any aggression or just a love bug?


I was looking into adopting a holland from a customer whose daughter went to college....but I was laying in bed last night petting Fallow and asked him what he'd think of another big girl and he started licking me...a first for him. Maybe a sign?
I don't know how it would go over with my parents because I fought to keep my two....but I figured I'll be out in hopefully 5-6 months.

I think she will bond with a boy, for sure...she wants to love and be loved! She reminds me a lot of my Morgan, who really wanted a girl friend.

Is she domminent or submissive?
Very submissive!

How is she with the litter box?
Perfect...she just went potty a bit inside of her pen at PetSmart because they gave her too much space at once....she's in a tiny little cage there .

Spayed?
Nope, but my vet charges $99. I'd be willing to sell a few hammocks through my website and help you out with that, though.

Any aggression or just a love bug?
No aggression at all. I even tested her limits by touching her all over and sticking my fingers all near her mouth. She's the biggest love bug girl bunny that I have ever met. Her personality reminds me a lot of a Flemish Giant.

Like I said....I will foster her, but I need to be sure she finds a home by mid-May, when I leave for dog grooming school.

I am going to PetSmart in about an hour or so....so you can text me at 928-379-1128. I'll be with MyGirl for probably 1-2 hours....so call/text me within the next 2-3 hours if you want videos of her/want to adopt her. If not...I won't see her again until probably Saturday.

I would really love to, but I need to think about it. I am getting 2 large buns (A English lop and Flemmie) and I need to make sure I can have the room.

 

[Luluznewz]

In case you are still interested about my housing:

I rent. That is more or less the extent of it, but my landlord is CRAZY! The only reason I can have one bunny is more or less because I begged and bargained.

The main reason its a problem is because my housing is really uncertain because I'm a college student and usually have to move for every new school year and I never really know how hard it is going to be to find a new place. I've just accepted that having the one rabbit and tortoise makes it challenging, and having more would make it way to challenging.

So thats my long unnecessary story. In moments of extreme weakness it makes me miss living with my parents.

p.s: for anyone concerned, I'm dedicated to always having Lulu and my tortoise. I would never give her up because of housing. Its makes it harder to find new places, but I know its possible.

 

[SnowyShiloh]

Awww what a sweetheart. If I was closer, had the space, the money, and all healthy bunnies, I would adopt her in a heartbeat. Not helpful, I know, but she looks so sweet. Good luck finding her a home!

Can you get her to here?

LV is only 3-4 hours from me. We can't drive far because our car is crappy.....but I might be able to get a friend to help drive half way.

Let me know ASAP...we can work it out, for sure. I still have time to go and get her before petsmart closes. I have about 1 hour to get there or else I'd have to go on Friday.

 

[Nancy McClelland]

Friday would be better for us--have way too much going on today and tomorrow.

 

[undergunfire]

Friday...as in you want me to go and get her on Friday? I forgot that tomorrow is Christmas, so I'd have to go and get her on Saturday morning, as the Humane Society inside of PetSmart is closed tomorrow.

My parents are going to Laughlin next Thursday. Can you meet them in Laughlin then? You'll need to meet them before they get set up at their hotel, as rabbits aren't allowed in there.

Also...will she be spayed? What type of cage will she be in? Will she be allowed to run around outside of her cage a lot? You can tell she wants to be a house bunny, so hopefully she can live inside.

we've been rescuing bunnies since early 2002. We've had 27 bunnies go thru our auspices--some we were able to place in forever homes after checking on the prospective adoptees extensively. We moved to Las Vegas from central CA a year ago in May and brought fifteen with us. We still have 8 and our son has five. All of our bunnies get neutered as soon as possible and they are definitely house rabbits--one of the bedrooms in our house is set up for rabbits and they each get three hours exercise time out of their Hutch--her hutch will be a 36 by 30 with a wire floor and a corner box with nesting material as well as a piece of carpet and a board to lounge on. We feed our buns Timothy complete pellet--a small amount, unlimited timothy hat and vegetables in the morning and evening. Any more questions--(phone number edited out by moderator since y'all have been in touch!) Looking forward to our new family member--we will name her Lilly after a bun of ours that passed away that looked a lot like her and was the same size. As far as being picked up, she will learn to tolerate it--we pick ours up from under in a scooping motion to get them out of the hutch and have a box with openings on both ends that they get herded into so we can put them up when run time is over.

[undergunfire]

Okay, Larry and Nancy....I know we've been texting, but I wanted to let everyone here know I've got Lilly with me now! She's scared, but will settle in well, I do think. I need to get a cage set up for her. I might set her up in the large dog kennel that we have, since she will just be with us until Thursday.

The adoption volunteer at PetSmart rushed me right out of there. I literally handed her the $20 adoption fee, signed a paper, then ran out the door. It felt...wrong, lol. I'm glad Lilly is going to be in good hands from here on out. If a bad family came in to adopt her and the lady rushed them out like they did me...I wonder where Lilly would have ended up? The HS here doesn't even ask to see ID when adopting.

 

[fuzz16]

I was still in debate about her...I was talking with Krystal-who you know. And because of my living situation I couldn't be for sure if she would have a forever home here or not and that was the only thing keeping me from her.

I'm so glad to know she is going to a good home that will love her and care for her.

And that's horrible to hear about the rescue program their running there...they seem more interested in money than the weel being of the animals.
