Stories About Our Bunny
Rabbits
a few about our very special needs bunnies and
their happy endings.
Nutmeghan the Rabbit | Bandit the Rabbit
Lacy the Rabbit
Here is the story of
Lacy
. Her story does not end with what is below ..
Lacy is a sweet little bunny who lost her sister, Cagney, to anesthesia. Lacy and her sister were relinquished to a shelter by uncaring people who did not have time for them. Since Lacy has a splayed leg and was bonded with her sister, Cagney, the shelter considered the pair unadoptable, and the sisters were slated for euthanasia. Luckily, a Luv-N-Bunn volunteer came to their rescue. Unfortunately, Cagney has crossed the Rainbow Bridge, leaving Lacy alone. Lacy is a gorgeous lop-eared bunny who should not be considered disabled -- she is merely "hop challenged". She loves to be petted and held and loves life. Lacy deserved a wonderful, loving home where she can spend the rest of her life being pampered and adored, and she found it with her new loving parents and a bunny brother and sister as well.
A couple visited us from Delaware, and fell in love with Lacy and also Abigail who was so shy her photo on PetFinder was just a picture of her nose sticking out of a little wooden house...but that's not all. They also adopted Beau, a bunny we found outdoors, a domestic rabbit turned loose, who lost his ear, tail and one rear leg when run over by a lawn mower trying to find safety.

Bandit the Rabbit
Bandit
is a just one of our nice little success stories.
Bandit's new owners said to us:
"Craig, Bandit, and I wanted to wish you and your family a Happy Holiday! He is the happiest bunny ... always running and jumping. He's been practicing his standing now and looks like a meerkat. LOL! Attached are some photos for you. He is SO photogenic. Thanks again for taking such good care of him until we found him. The litterbox training still amazes us! Have a wonderful holiday. Karen."

Leon the Rabbit
Leon
is the most outgoing and most funny bunny you will ever meet. He has a
personality to be compared to none, loves to play with toys and is very good with
his litter box. He does however like to rearrange his pen area and performs acrobatic moves
for anyone who is willing to watch ... or ignore. Although he is a little on the
larger size, he welcomes attention and comes up to the door of his pen for kisses
and a pet on the head. Leon does not mind being held, upright or on his back, and
will make you laugh. He seems to radiate fun and happiness. Leon was adopted into a
wonderful home where he has full run of the house and partnered with a little dwarf
rabbit,
who was a cruelty case who was flown all the way from California. His name is
Max. Max and Leon are now best buds.

A Tail of Two Rabbits: The Story of Leon and Max
O.K, so I indulged in some literary license. Charles Dickens will surely forgive me.
Now the story:
Leon is a large, handsome English Spot while Max is an adorable chocolate brown Netherland Dwarf. In other words, a Mutt and Jeff team. Leon was rescued from a cock fighting house in Philadelphia, and was lovingly cared for by Carol at Luv-N-Bunns (LNB). Max was rescued from a yard in California (with 29 other rabbits), after Max's owner murdered his own brother. He was then flown here from California and cared for by Kerry at The Rabbit Habit.
Thus follows the improbable tale of how the city boy and the country boy, starting 3,000 miles apart, ended up with Bill and Jackie in Paoli, Pennsylvania.
Nipper, our 12 year old Netherland Dwarf, after valiantly fighting cancer for five months, passed over the Rainbow Bridge in 2008. He had full run of the den with no cage. A month later we decided that Nipper would really want us to have another rabbit around the house. One rabbit, preferably a Netherland Dwarf.
Next, the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry. We visited Carol at LNB and saw a number of very nice smaller rabbits … and LEON. While we had told Carol that we were somewhat flexible on our choices, I didn’t expect us to be this flexible. This very large English Spot, with absolutely huge ears, flops himself three feet away from me on the floor. His back is towards us and I give him some nice rubs. He doesn’t budge. His eyes start to close. His teeth start to grind. Leon just selected us as his new parents. Oh my God! This was not the plan. We decide to at least keep Leon in mind and also another smaller bun we were attracted to. Carol told us later that two other people also liked Leon, but determined that he was just too big. We could relate to that.
A few days later we visit The Rabbit Habit and see several very nice, friendly buns. Then Jackie spots Max balled up in the corner of his cage with no discernable personality. His only claim to fame is that he is a Netherland Dwarf. Hmmm. After playing on the floor with the other rabbits, we decide to at least give Max a chance. The chocolate brown ball comes over to me, lets me rub him and begins crawling over my legs. Kerry says that he normally doesn’t do this. Hmmm. Max just selected us as his new parents. We determined that he must have a personality somewhere, but are unsure where he is hiding it.
One week later -- decision time! Given that we really wanted one Netherland Dwarf, we did the logical thing. We decided to adopt both the huge English Spot and the tiny Netherland Dwarf. We brought Leon home first, and then Max a month later. Oh well, the best-laid plans …
The rabbits that appeared to be polar opposites turned out to be best, bonded buddies. Max has a great personality and just needed a secure home to express it in. Leon, from day one, had a personality big enough to knock you over. Unlike Max, Leon ventures out of the den frequently when we are home. He loves to fly up the stairs at Mach 3 and play in the hall and bedroom with special attention towards our (his) water bed and his collection of toy rabbits. Yes, the real rabbit grooms, flips, and flings and plays with toy rabbits. When Carol first told us he had personality, we didn’t realize how much. I think that somewhere 12 other rabbits got short changed!
The moral of this tale is that bunny lovers should be flexible in their choices. Had we not dug deeper into ourselves and in considering our two beautiful buns, the story would have ended differently.

Nutmeghan the Rabbit
Nutmeghan
Here is her story. She has since been adopted into a wonderful loving
home. This story will tell you what Luv-N-Bunns is all about.
Nutmeghan has a story all her own. First bred to be sold for food and savd by a nearby neighbor, she was then transported from Michigan to Broomall to go to a sanctuary. She became best friends with her foster mom, and was taken to be spayed by the woman who rescued her originally. Due to complications, she had a prolapsed uterus and spent all night at the University of Pennsylvania (U of P) to undergo surgery. It was the most horrible night, and I sat with her for 6 hours until finally she was taken home and taken to Radnor Vet, because U of P could not help her for another few hours and I had already been sitting waiting with her for 11 hours. Well, when you spend hours holding a rabbit, calming her and praying for her, you start to bond a relationship like no other.
It took weeks of medicine and promises of no more pain or surgery, and Nutmeghen was such a trooper through it all. She sat willingly for hours on my lap, as I cuddled and tried to make her comfortable (with her twice-opened belly), and gave her medicine and cold compresses several times a day. She is an amazing rabbit.
Later, because she was so smart and patient, we choose her to do a photo shoot for an anti-fur campaign that will be featured later this year in magazines. This beautiful rabbit, once to be killed for meat, has moved into the movie world to do a live shot, with a real live "playboy bunny model", for the fight against fur for coats.
If you would like to help us continue to give the love and financial support to other needy rabbits like Nutmeghen, please consider donating to Luv-N-Bunns and send your tax deductible donation. All are rabbits are given the best medical care needed, regardless of cost.

OUR
SERVICES:
Pet Rescue
Luv-N-Bunns experienced volunteers are dedicated to the rescue of rabbits, whether from area animal shelters, or otherwise abandoned. Our goal is to educate the public that House Rabbits are not Wild Rabbits and cannot survive in the wild.
Fostering
Many times when we rescue bunnies, we need to to help them heal and learn to trust humans again, so we make arrangements for their foster care. Foster parents spend time with the bunnies, socializing them and gaining their trust so that they can once again enjoy the companionship of humans.
When you foster, in exchange for your time and love, we provide you with necessary supplies, pet medical, so you can feed, house and care for the bunnies.
