My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This stunning beauty's name is Rose! She is very affectionate with people who have given her time and patience to let her settle in. Rose is such a princess, that she wants to be the only bunny, or at least have her own room away from other rabbits, and would do best in a home with rabbit-experienced humans who understand rabbits' needs and actions very well. Shy at times, she has a huge personality that just begs for attention. Rose is a very active rabbit, who wants to know about everything, and will keep you on your toes with her adventurousness.

Rose came to us from the SPCA as a transfer because she was not doing well in their busy, noisy environment. Before that, this princess had a really rough start in life living in unsafe and unhealthy conditions. With time and patience, this wilted Rose has grown into an amazing bunny in such a short time! Because of her early life, Rose is still learning to be a lady and politely ask for people to pet her. She is waiting for a loving and patient forever family to find her and help her continue to flourish.

* Our adoption fee for a single rabbit is $75. *
