I hadn't planned on adopting a rabbit, but my heart went out to a bunny at a local shelter. Its a bit of a story...
The last couple of days of June was inventory where I work. The last day of inventory was recounts and several of us were sitting around waiting. My supervisor asked me if I wanted to take over some shredded paper in the truck to the local Humane Society, they use it for bedding for small animals. Tired of sitting around, I said sure, while I was unloading the bags I was talking to one of the employees about their rabbits.
She told me that they have had a rabbit there for 2 years waiting to be adopted. The employee said the bunny had bit of a "personality", code for bit of an attitude. The buns name is Jackie and she is a Flemish mix. The shelter said she was found running loose in an apartment by the apartment manager. She was briefly adopted out by a couple who it turned out got her for their 3 year old! She came back a few days later and and she's been at the shelter since.
I talked to my wife and said this poor bunny needs a home. I have had my share of bunny's with attitude, they have been sweet buns, that just had to have love on their terms.
So last Saturday, I went and visited the bun. She is beautiful and sweet, I was able to put her on her back and trance her. Before I left, I filled out adoption papers and if all goes well, I will pick her up Monday or Tuesday.
