Meet Boots, a sweet yet slightly timid bunny who joined SDHRS in October 2024 from a local shelter. Though easily startled, Boots has the potential to learn trust with a little patience. In his foster home, he's making great strides, approaching people out of curiosity and enjoying cozy lounging sessions throughout the day. You might catch him thumping his little feet when things don't go his way, but don't worry-he eventually calms down and settles back into relaxation mode. He prefers not to be held, but will end up cooperating when needed. Boots tends to start his day a bit later in the afternoon or evening, and he's always ready when dinner time rolls around. His favorites? Crisp salads and pellets, which he happily grazes throughout the day and night. Boots loves to chew on toys, and a home that can provide lots of enrichment for him would be the best! Boots shows lots of progress when you sit with him and let him approach you on his own. With time and love, Boots is sure to blossom into a loving companion!

Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV) is a highly contagious and deadly disease caused by a calicivirus that affects both wild and domestic rabbits. It is not contagious to people or other animals. For the first time, the virus is causing deaths in rabbits and hares native to North America and is spreading rapidly. UPDATE: In May 2021, California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) has confirmed new cases of RHDV in rabbits in Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura County. In addition to detection of RHDV2 in wild cottontail rabbits and jackrabbits, RHDV2 has been confirmed in domestic rabbits on 50 premises, including a detection in a feral domestic rabbit.
