Sylvia has developed some medical issues, so she is now a sanctuary bunny.  Sylvia originally came from a hoarding case in Huber Heights, outside of Dayton, Ohio.  The Cleveland APL took her on as a foster bun, but they quickly learned she was traumatized from her previous “home” so she was not adoptable.  In 2014, this adorable little brown and white dutch girl came to live with Kristen Doherty.  We thought she could be adopted by experienced bunny people who accepted her for who she is, but unfortunately that didn’t happen.

Here is her original posting — Sylvia is great with her litterbox, keeps her pen very tidy, and loves her three-story condo house.  She is a cautious girl; you have to earn her trust.  But once you do, she is a loyal and loving soul who will open your heart to new adventures.

Barley is a very gentle, sweet man who has developed an extreme head tilt due to neurological problems. The head tilt came on suddenly, but he’s adjusting to the physical changes.  Barley is very accepting of back and neck massages.  He might not be able to get around like he used to, but he is giving it his all.

As he was …

Barley is a big beautiful New Zealand white or REW (red-eyed white).  Barley was adopted out with his sister, Hops, in 2015, but was returned after his sister passed away.

Despite his delightful demeanor, he is not afraid to tell you when he doesn’t like something.  With proper care, his head tilt is manageable and Barley can continue to be happy, carefree rabbit.

Please join us in welcoming Honalee as a Sanctuary Rabbit.  We’ve enjoyed her company for almost five years and have seen her develop into a warm, sensitive friend.  But she is white with red eyes, and can be very shy.  Because of that combination, she is passed over when homes become available.  She has not found a forever home, and so we are giving her ours.  Think of her when you see a white rabbit with red eyes looking for love.  That plain cover opens up to a wonderful story inside.  Herta & David

Here is her original write-up —

Have you ever wanted back into a time of innocence, when rabbits could be big and white and magic? This young lovely, born in spring ’09, sibling to Napoleon, will take you there. Open your door to her, and come home every day to the land of Honalee.  See more of Honalee below.

Bee is a beautiful bunny with a strong defensive streak and will bite if she feels her territory is being invaded. No matter how hard we try to get to know her, she hasn’t yet let her guard down after five years. We’ll keep trying until she’s ready, and she will always have a place in our Sanctuary home.
