Aww
. I'm glad he found a home, but it's a pity you didn't get to adopt him! I'm sure there's other older, small-breed rabbits out there looking for a good home, though!
Wiggles (lionhead mix at the same shelter as Bubba) looks positively adorable, though she's a good bit younger than you were wanting. If you'd be willing to consider a bonded pair, there's a cute pair of Netherland dwarf rabbits at the
SPCA in Raleigh (it doesn't give an exact age, only that they're adults, so you'd have to call and ask)... not sure if that's too far for you; it's around 85 mi from Greenville but I don't know if you actually live in that area or if that's just where Bubba was

Here are some sites that list rescues/shelters in North Carolina that accept rabbits:
http://rabbit.rescueshelter.com/NorthCarolina
http://bundergroundrailroad.org/blog/state/north-carolina/
http://www.trianglerabbits.org/adopt/rescues.html
Keep in mind that even if a rescue/shelter has a website, there's no guarantee that ALL of their adoptable rabbits are actually listed. Rather than just looking online, I would actually call places within a reasonable driving distance, tell them what you're looking for (age, size/breed, etc.) and ask if they have any rabbits that might be a good match for you... or failing that, if they know of another place that might have one.
Since I believe you were looking for a rabbit that's 4+ years old, that's going to narrow down your choices quite a bit... however, I'm sure the perfect rabbit is waiting for you somewhere! At any place where you strike out, I would ask if you can leave your contact information (phone # and/or email) so that you can be reached if they receive a rabbit you might be interested in at a later date (assuming your parents are ok with you doing this, of course). That could save you having to make another round of phone calls every couple weeks if you don't find a rabbit the first time
