HOW DID THIS HAPPEN:
(This is the abridged explanation) There is a dumpsite in Las Vegas. When it was discovered, there were upwards of 1,000 bunnies at the site. The bunnies rescued would have died if left there because they could not feed or defend themselves. BUT WHAT ABOUT....?? There are no viable, established rabbit rescues in the area and there is no one willing to accept responsibility for such a large undertaking. For that reason, this is a grass roots effort to help the ones in most dire need with whatever resources we are able to raise on our own. The bunnies at the site get fresh veggies when their rescuers can go out to feed them and that's how these injured bunnies were recovered. This is about DOING something rather than waiting for someone else to act or expecting someone to step up while more bunnies are hurt or killed by traps, birds, or coyotes. There is no profit in rescue—only the reward of doing the right thing. WHAT NOW? Pinky has been adopted to a lovely animal-loving family in Florida. Rusty has gone to live at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Bella birthed a son, Normie, and they are a bonded pair. The ultimate goal is for them to find a forever home with someone who can care for them together. Pat is healthy but living with fused bones in his feet that will cause him problems in the future. Again, ALL will eventually require a furever home and/or willing long-term fosters. HOW YOU CAN HELP:
