Rusty is an adorable little dwarf sized Mini Rex. He is sweet, friendly, and playful.
We caught this handsome fella running the streets of Hazleton, thanks to excellent teamwork with a few Rabbiteers and friends. A junior rescuer who was present gave Rusty his new name. Poor boy was suffering from a bacterial infection and nasty bot fly, so we're so glad we could get him the veterinary care he needed.
Rusty was so scared and shy in those first moments and days, but he quickly began warming up to the idea of being safe and pampered! No more struggling to survive for this little man.
Rusty has been neutered and is ready for his loving FURever home.
We are always working with the rabbits to help them find their true bond-bun. They truly thrive best in bonded pairs, especially during the hours you are sleeping or otherwise occupied. Could your bunny be "THE Bun"? Or would you consider an already bonded pair? Fill out the application and, once approved, we'll schedule a Meet 'n' Greet to see if your household might be a bunderful match.

Bunnies live an average of 8-10 years, but could live up to 16 or even longer! While they do enjoy gentle pets and head rubs, bunnies generally do not like to be picked up or held as they are prey animals and it can be very scary for them. They also need lots of space to move around, run, binky and play - so no small hutches nor cages. They are social animals who want to be with you and should be accepted as part of the family. They need vet visits just like a dog or cat and will require a yearly vaccination against RHDV2. This is a highly contagious and deadly virus.
Please do your research before adding any pet to your family. Visit houserabbit.org and rabbit.org for rabbit care information. We are happy to answer any questions you may have before and after adoption, as well as assist in helping you decide whether bunnies are right for you. We offer ongoing support and encourage ongoing learning to ensure that you and your bunnies thrive for their lifetime.
Please find a place in your heart and home for unwanted, discarded rescue animals. Thank you for adopting, not shopping!
