If we could have just one more day with them, we know exactly how we'd spend it.

One more forehead kiss. One more handful of their favorite greens. One more chance to tell them how much we love them.

We know so many of you understand that feeling.

This year, in honor of Día de Mu***os, we've created an ofrenda at the HRR Center for the bunnies we've loved and lost.

Día de Mu***os is a Mexican tradition centered on remembering and celebrating those who have passed. October 27 has also become a day to remember our beloved animals and welcome their spirits home.

This tradition holds a special place in our Executive Director's heart, and she wanted to share a little piece of her Mexican heritage with the community that has become such a big part of hers.

And we couldn't think of a more meaningful way to do that than by creating a space for the little souls who have left such big impressions on our lives.

And we'd love for your bunnies to be here, too.

Bring a photo of a bunny you've lost and add it to our ofrenda. Leave their name, write them a note, tell us something silly they used to do, or simply let their photo sit among so many others who were loved just as much.

If you can't visit, comment their photo below or email it to us. We'll make sure they're included.

On October 27, we'll be spending a quiet evening at the Center remembering them together, and you're welcome to join us.

We can't give them one more day, but we can give them a place to be remembered.

And maybe that's a little bit of how we keep them with us. 🧡

We thought we'd have more time with French Fry.

Last Sunday, a wonderful family found a tiny bunny in a park. They picked him up, named him French Fry, and brought him to us, hoping we could give him a chance at a better life.

He was very young and his little body had already been through so much.

He was painfully thin, dehydrated, exhausted, and his bottom was covered in urine. We don't know how long he'd been out there or what his life had been like before he was found, but we knew we wanted to give him a chance.

And for a little while, we really thought we could.

We got him settled, gave him fluids, monitored his temperature, and checked on him closely every day. He was eating his hay, drinking water, and showing us little signs that gave us hope.

Every day, we found ourselves getting a little more excited about his future.

We were already imagining the day we'd get to introduce him as a healthy, happy bunny looking for his forever home. We wondered what he'd look like once he was healthy, what his personality would be like once he felt better, and who the lucky person would be who got to love him for the rest of his life.

Sadly, this morning, our sweet French Fry passed away.

We don't know exactly what happened. There may have been something going on inside his little body that we couldn't see. Sometimes, even when things seem to be improving, there is more happening than we realize.

Since opening our Center, we've welcomed more rabbits with serious medical needs than ever before. Some have incredible recoveries, like Oberon and Nigel, whose story we'll be sharing soon. Others, like French Fry, don't get the ending we had hoped for.

But we think their stories deserve to be told, too.

French Fry was only with us for four days, but he mattered. He had people checking on him, celebrating every little improvement, and hoping for his future. He wasn't just another intake. He was a little bunny who deserved to grow up, get healthy, and find someone who would spoil him for years to come.

And it hurts knowing we won't get to see any of that.

To the family who found him last Sunday, we want you to know how grateful we are that you stopped for him.

You probably didn't know what would happen when you picked him up. You just saw a little bunny who needed help, and you decided that his life was worth stopping for.

You gave him a name. You gave him a chance. And because of you, he didn't have to spend his final days alone in a park.

We know this isn't the ending you were hoping for. It isn't the one we were hoping for either. But we hope there's some comfort in knowing that for those last few days, he had a warm place to sleep, fresh hay and food, and people who genuinely cared about him.

We don't know what French Fry's life was like before you found him, but we do know that in his final days, he was someone's reason to stop, someone's reason to hope, and someone's reason to cry today.

Thank you for giving him the name French Fry, for bringing him to us, and for allowing us to love him, even if it was only for a little while.

Rest easy, little French Fry. We really thought we'd have more time. ❤️

Following his recent neuter, Pluto would like to formally apologize for his past behavior.

He's had some time to think about his actions and now understands that leaving little poops all over the place creates unnecessary work for the humans.

As part of his commitment to personal growth, he's taken it upon himself to supervise the cleaning crew and familiarize himself with the vacuum.

Has he actually cleaned anything? No.

Has he stopped leaving poops everywhere? Also no.

But personal growth takes time, and we'd appreciate everyone respecting his journey.

Our first ever Bunnies & Bams is officially in the books! 🀄🐰

This past Friday we hosted our very first Mahjong night at the HRR Center, and we had SUCH a good time! It was so fun seeing everyone come together, whether they were learning Mahjong for the first time or already knew their way around the tiles.

And thanks to everyone who joined us, we raised over $1,300 for the bunnies! 💙

We really love getting to use our Center for things like this. Bringing people together, making new friends, trying something new and getting to support the bunnies while we're at it. We are so grateful to everyone who came out and made our first Mahjong night such a fun evening!

We also want to give a huge thank you to the wonderful businesses who helped make this happen!

💙 Fortune Lash and Brow for generously sponsoring our event and helping us make sure more of what we raised goes directly toward caring for our bunnies.

🍪 The Baykery for donating the cutest little Mahjong tile cookies! They were almost too cute to eat.

🀄 The Tile Tutor for teaching our beginners and making Mahjong a little less intimidating for those of us who had no idea what we were doing!

We are so lucky to have local businesses who are willing to support our little rescue and the work we do. It really does mean a lot to us.

Thank you again to everyone who spent their Friday evening with us! We had a blast and are already looking forward to doing more of these in the near future.

Who would be up for another Mahjong night?

It's tough being a bunny 😞 🤣 Rupert is now recovering from his neuter but he has not recovered from being told no about second breakfast.

He will be on our adoptable page soon once he is completely recovered.

The babies are getting bigger. 🥹

It feels like five minutes ago they were tiny little potatoes we were checking on constantly, and now they are growing into actual little rabbits with opinions, personalities, favorite snacks and a whole lot of energy.

And while you all get to watch them grow up, behind the scenes there is a lot that goes into getting them to this point. Food. Hay. Litter. Veterinary care. Supplies. A safe place to grow. And people showing up every single day to make sure they have what they need.

Then there are bunnies like Oberon, who came through our doors just last Friday needing hours of grooming, treatment, comfort and someone willing to stay with him until 2 in the morning while he finally started to feel a little better.

That is what events like Bunnies & Bams help support.

And somehow, we are down to ONE LAST TICKET for this Friday. 😭

Bunnies & Bams is happening Friday from 6–8:30 PM at the HRR Center, and we are incredibly grateful to the businesses who helped make this night possible.

💛 Fortune Lash & Brow generously sponsored the event, helping us put more of what we raise right back toward the rabbits.

🍪 The Baykery is making the cutest Mahjong tile-inspired cookies for everyone to enjoy.

🀄 The Tile Tutor will be teaching our beginner Mahjong lesson, so if you have always wanted to learn but had absolutely no idea where to start, you are very much our target audience.

There will also be open play for our experienced players, snacks, drinks, prizes and, obviously, rabbits nearby wondering why they were not invited to sit at the table.

One ticket left.

And when that last seat is filled, just know that every person in that room is helping us keep saying yes to the next tiny baby, the next Oberon and the next bunny who needs a safe place to land. 💙

I'm not entirely sure what happened last friday.

The kind lady who cared for me carried me into a strange place, all wrapped up in a blanket. She was crying, and I didn't really understand why.

Then she handed me to another lady, and after a little while, she was gone.

The new lady seemed nice. She looked me over, and I could tell something was wrong.

She kept saying things about fleas and mats and how uncomfortable I must have been.

I mean, I knew I was itchy. Really itchy. And my fur had been pulling at my skin for a while, especially around my bottom. But I didn't know why she looked so sad.

So I gave her a kiss.

That seemed to help.

Soon, someone else came to help, and together they started working on my fur.

Apparently, I had quite a few unwanted guests living on me. My ears, my head, my back, even my belly were thick with flea dirt. And my bottom? Well, let's just say it had gotten so tangled that the humans couldn't even find my little bu****le.

And when they started carefully separating the mats, they found even more fleas hiding inside.

I guess I'd been hosting a whole little kingdom without knowing it.

Throughout the day, I kept hearing people ask the lady, "What's his name?"

And every time, she'd say she hadn't decided yet.

I wondered if maybe she just didn't know who I was.

Eventually, the other humans went home, and it was just the two of us.

She kept working on my fur, little by little. She'd stop to check on me, tell me I was a good boy, and I'd give her another kiss.

It was a very long night.

I was tired. I think she was tired, too.

But slowly, my face started feeling lighter. My fur wasn't so crunchy anymore. And for the first time in a while, I was starting to feel a little more like myself.

By the time the clock said 2 AM, she finally stopped and looked at me.

Not at the fleas. Not at the mats. Just me.

She smiled.

"Oh, look at you."

And then she said something I'd never heard before.

"Oberon."

Apparently, that's the name of a king.

But not just any king.

The King of the Fairies.

She said that now that she could finally see my little face beneath all that mess, I looked like a fairy king.

Me?

The little bunny who arrived in a blanket, smelling terrible, with fleas living in his butt fluff?

A fairy king?

I don't know much about fairies or kings. And I don't know what tomorrow will bring.

But I do know that when I gave her one more kiss, she smiled again.

And I think maybe that's what being a king feels like.

So hello, everyone.

My name is Oberon.

And I think this might be the beginning of something good.

Love,
Oberon, King of the Fairies

---

A little note from HRR:

Oberon is approximately four years old and came to us after his caretaker reached out for help. She had been caring for him after a family member left him with her, but his flea infestation and grooming needs had become more than she could safely manage.

We're grateful she reached out and trusted us to help him.

Oberon still has a way to go, and one very long night of grooming doesn't undo everything his little body has been through. But he's already a lot more comfortable, and we can't wait to see him continue to blossom.

If you're struggling with your bunny's care, please don't be afraid to ask for help. We may not always have the space to take in another rabbit, but we'll do our best to point you toward resources.

Every bunny deserves to feel like royalty. Even the ones who arrive smelling like they crawled out of a swamp.

Recently, we got to put the cleaning supplies down for a little bit and spend an evening just hanging out with some of the amazing people who help make Houston Rabbit Resource what it is. 💙

We crafted, laughed, got to know each other a little better, and of course spent plenty of time with the babies. Our volunteers even helped us narrow down their names from all the suggestions you left in the comments, so stay tuned because that reveal is coming soon! 👀

It’s kind of wild to think that just a year ago, we were announcing that we were looking for a physical location. Now we have a Center full of bunnies and a whole community of volunteers who show up to help care for them, clean, socialize, tackle projects, and keep everything moving.

We talk about the bunnies all the time, but none of what we do happens without the people behind the scenes who give their time, energy, and love to this rescue.

We really do have the best volunteers, and we’re so grateful for every single one of them.

Here’s to more bunny-filled days, new friendships, and hopefully more evenings like this one. 🐰💙

Forever Home Friday! 🏡❤️

Three girls, one apartment, and a whole lot of love! ❤️

Our sweet Astrid was recently returned to us through no fault of her own, but we're so happy to share that she has officially found her forever home once again! And this time, she's living her best life in the big city with her two best girls, her mom and her dog sister!

Astrid is one of our little tripods, but having three legs certainly doesn't stop her from getting around and exploring. Her mom immediately got to work making their apartment Astrid-friendly, laying down rugs so she could safely hop around and feel comfortable in her new home. She also makes sure Astrid gets a little extra help keeping those ears nice and clean since having three legs makes that a bit tricky.

And according to her mom? Astrid has become her best friend.

These three girls spend their days watching movies, hanging out together, and enjoying their little life in the city. Her mom says Astrid is the sweetest, most curious little girl and that she feels like she's learning something new about her every day.

Astrid was once a very shy bunny who just needed someone willing to give her the patience and understanding to come out of her shell. And now? She's blossomed into the funny, curious, beautiful little girl we always knew she could be.

We love seeing our bunnies find families who embrace everything that makes them special. And something about Astrid finding her own little girl gang to do life with just makes this one extra sweet.

, Astrid! Here's to many more movie nights, adventures, and memories with your two favorite girls! ❤️

We regret to inform everyone that someone left their Toast under a truck.

In today’s news, a small piece of Toast was discovered hiding underneath a truck in a Houston neighborhood.

A concerned citizen attempted to retrieve the Toast but was unfortunately running late for a flight. A second rescuer was dispatched to the scene and successfully secured the Toast.

Toast is now in the custody of Houston Rabbit Resource.

He is safe.
He is indoors.
He is no longer underneath any motor vehicles.

Further investigation into exactly who Toast is and what he thinks about all of this is ongoing.

Welcome to HRR, Toast.
