We usually leave the names of animals who were surrendered  but you are right Claire.

I'll ask  about changing the names to something better ..

I don't believe in changing names if they've had them for awhile because in my experience they really do know their names. I had Dill for a least a year, probably two, when I found out his previous name had been 'Peter', and boy, did he ever respond when I called him that.

Mister is my only bunny who won't come when he's called, not because he's not ridiculously friendly but because he never seems to realize I'm calling him. I can't get his attention.

I've been trying to figure out another name closer to his old one, whatever it was. I got him last year from a place where he had only been for a month. He was probably a retired show bunny (he was bought for $2 at an auction) so I'm not sure he was called by his name an awful lot, but even after a year he responds much better to 'Bunny' than 'Mister'.

Laura from Midwest talked to Cassandra today; the 2 black bunnies are accepted into Midwest Rabbit Rescue In Plymouth Mi; we will be keeping them at CRHS until transport is arranged

WOHOO!!

I have been too busy to post

Great Big Surprise!!!
These 2 rabbits were adopted here in La crosse by a family who has been considering this for awhile ..


They were adopted by a 2 adults and their children; both the parents had had larger rabbits as children and they are used to this size.

They went home today .

WeDO adopt over Easter because our adoption protocol is so strict it would weed out impulse or 'poor" owner people

Anyway Happy Easter to me because this certainly did make my weekend. :biggrin2:

What an awesome outcome for these bunnies!!

I am happy! That is the best news. :bunnydance:

Brilliant news!

If you are sent any pics of the bunnies enjoying life in their furever home, don't hesitate to post

Wow, I hope this is the case. I just got a newsletter from Midwest and there's an article on these rabbits. They were asking for help transporting.

I had no idea that black bunnies had such a hard time being adopted! I'm actually kind of glad that Chloe was abandoned and found by my neighbor instead of being surrendered at a shelter. She's such a sweet little girl and her size would have made it even harder for her to get a home.

wow i missed this...i am so happy that the pair have a loving forever home now...that is just awesome news.

YAAAAYYYY I am so happy for them
