Shelters

A bun in need is a friend indeed

If you live in the Dayton area, you've probably heard about the story where 240 animals were rescued from a home in Trotwood. Of course, Dayton Rabbit was there to help the shelter out. A total of seven bunnies were rescued from the house on thursday night. We worked that evening to get all of them situated in clean cages and provided them with food and water.

Friday morning, I took a day off and went to to help clean the bunny cages. I was then able to give them all a cursory exam. Six out of seven bunnies are pretty young at about eight weeks old. Most of them, though dirty, were in good health. But, a couple exhibited some nasal discharge which is worrisome. Thankfully, our favorite vet is coming in this morning to give them an exam. Hopefully, some antibiotics will clear things up and the buns will be good as new.

I'm going to bring my camera in today and plan on taking some photos so that you all can bask in the cuteness.

Shelter bunnies basking in the sun

The weather this afternoon was extremely pleasant. So, a couple of us decided to spend our lunch hour at the shelter. We set up a pen and gave each bunny some time to bask in the sun. Many binks were performed and much grass was sampled by all. The bunnies pictured below are: Fergie, Howard, Magnolia, Magnus and Snowball.
