Cassie   The Cheyenne Animal Shelter had a bunny who had given birth to seven babies. When only three days old, the six surviving babies and mom (Stella) were transported to us, but the babies were scattered out all over a couple of square feet of sawdust, so they arrived nearly dead from cold! Of those babies, only two survived. Cassie was one of those babies. She was adorable from the start, even tho occasional physical problems kept her from growing as quickly as her brother, Gus Gus. He and his sister Cassie became a pair, but sadly, Cassie died from what appears to have been a congenital defect, leaving Gus looking for a family with a girl bunn to give him a forever home.

Radar   Radar came to us as a baby after a family lost their farm to a foreclosure. He was one of the original 10 babies fathered by the handsome Redford, a beautiful, rust-colored male. Radar recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We are all so sorry to see him go!

Tristan   Tristan came to us with what we thought was a huge abscess on his shoulder. When surgery was performed, it turned out to be a cancerous tumor which had invaded his lungs and body. The kindest thing we could do for him was to let him go.

Gabriel   Gabriel was taken by someone to Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation because he appeared to be paralyzed. Since he was a domestic rabbit, he ended up with us on Sunday, August 30th, 2009, and was given his name, because he was such an angel. He was a beautiful white and grey rabbit, with a satin coat, and loving, trusting eyes. He was probably no more than a year old. Gabriel appeared to be paralyzed when he arrived, but all parts of his body would jerk when he was touched or handled. Following radiographs at The Animal Doctor the next day, it was determined that he had no injury to his back. The cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls movement, was damaged. At first, we thought someone must have kicked him, but as time went on, we began to suspect that a cuterebra larva had lost its way, and ended up in his brain. Gabriel cooperated with us to the best of his ability. We gave him meds to reduce swelling in the brain, and meds to kill any parasites he might have. We syringe fed him, gave him fluids, and expressed his bladder. He lay, bolstered by rolled up towels, and tried to eat pellets, hay, and vegetables, but mostly, he drank water. Always, his eyes watched us, reflecting gratitude and trust. On Sunday, September 6th, one week from his arrival, our beloved Gabriel passed quietly away. He will always be remembered with affection and sadness, and regret that such a sweet rabbit had to die so young.

Audrey   Poor baby Audrey was left to die in a pail with her litter mates. One of them was dead, two were okay, and Audrey had a broken back. Her permanent fosterer, who adored her, lost her to a ruptured bladder six months later.

Pancho   Pancho and Mallory were fortunate to have been deeply loved and well cared for as house rabbits by a permanent fosterer. It hurt badly when Pancho died after an extended illness, in spite of the best veterinary care.

Kyra   This adorable little mini-rex was adopted, but a divorce caused her and her hus-bunn to come back to us. Fortunately, they were permanently fostered until Kyra died at the age of six years.

KiKi   This lovable, nine year old bunny, died from kidney failure, three months after coming to us.

Louis   This precious, five year old, black mini-lop arrived very underweight, and with several medical issues. Kidney failure took him from us seven months later, in spite of our best efforts for him.

Flower   Whoosh! Look what just bloomed in a flower pot 'round town - THIS sweet little bunny was what. We had no idea how she got there, she was found and this precious blossom was plucked to safety - unfortunately too late! Born in 2004 and never spayed, this beautiful little 4lb rabbit's reproductive system was destroyed as well as other major organs becoming involved. Doomed from before the time we got her, she never had a chance - she died during the surgery intended to help her, it was just too late. The importance of neutering these wonderful companion animals CANNOT be overstated. We grieve the ignorance that killed this beautiful rabbit!

Lilly   Lilly is a small Ruby Rabbit. She's had a couple of changes in her short life - first she was a classroom pet, which is actually a pretty miserable life for a rabbit. Then she got to go live with a family, but was dumped as soon as the daughter of the family went off to college. How many things are wrong with the picture of Lilly's life? For her sake, she was lucky to be here so we could take care of her before she was called to cross the Rainbow Bridge.

Brandon   Thank heavens for "nosy" neighbors - they are often helpless animals' very best defense against the cruelties of toxic human behavior. Brandon here is a perfect example of how that works out. Brandon was left behind when a family was evicted. Yes, eviction must be a horrid experience for a family and yet surely there could be some moments of compassion, where they could take their loyal companion animals to a shelter or find someone to do something to help. But in this case, they just turned this helpless rabbit out to fend for himself. As we all know, domesticated rabbits "aren't from AROUND here" and haven't a clue how to survive on their own in an alien environment with no resources and no shelter. The typical result is they become a predator's great joy. Fate was kind to Brandon, however, and a neighbor of the evicted family was even kinder! Brandon was scooped up and brought to us for a second chance at life. Unfortunately, his short life ended too soon, but at least he was here where he was loved, fed, warm, and dry for his last months.
