Alabama EARS' Rabbits for Adoption

Please read our adoption policies and procedures.


Here are some of the rabbits who are ready for adoption. We have a new pair not up here yet (Logan and Fiona) who are just lovely, social bunnies. We also have a new single boy who is too young to be adopted but is absolutely ready to meet visitors, and another new boy who is big, big, BIG and is so friendly he seems to want to be a lap bunny!

Princess Flopsy is so precious!!! She absolutely LOVES to be petted. She will stretch out and just let you do whatever.

She loves to play "the blanket game" that she taught us. One day, her foster mom rolled up a small rug in Flopy's pen. Flopsy hopped over to the rug and just flopped on it--like she knew the rug was put there just for her.

Flopsy also likes to be tucked in--she likes to have her baby blanket placed on top her her while she is resting. This is new for all of us at EARS and we're enjoying it!

What makes Flopsy so special is that not only does she love attention and to be petted, but also that she stretches waaaaaay out on her tummy when she's being properly spoiled. This little girl came to us happy and ready for loving--she automatically trusts everyone who visits so if you adopt her you will have a bunny who is ready to be part of the household almost immediately.




horace1.jpg



Horace is a little sweetheart. At 3 lbs, he's probably full-grown, and he is a cutie. He doesn't like to be petted as much as the others, but will tolerate it when he's in the mood. If he wants you to stop, he'll nudge your hand or move it with his mouth--gently. Basically, he is good at communicating his likes and dislikes in gentle, bunny-way. It's nice, too, because a bunny who can "talk" to humans usually bonds quickly with them.

Horace is a curious little guy, too. We think he's well-suited to be in a home where there is plenty of time to explore, but he will need to have a human close by to reassure him that the noise he hears is just on the t.v. and that no, that is not a hawk but just the ceiling fan.

Little Bun was found wandering by the roadside in a busy area. He has blue eyes and big, BIG ears. (We *think* that he might be a lop rabbit but his ears haven't fallen yet.) He's much smaller than he looks in this photo--he's only about 1 1/2 lbs.

Because he is just a baby (just a few weeks old) he's too young to be neutered. Right now, our job is nurture this Little Bun and let him get to know foster home visitors. We'll update his profile once we get to know him a little bit better. In the meantime, we encourage visitors to meet him --you might fall in love with each other and he'll have a forever home as a baby!.

Cocoa and Oscar are the most social couple ever! Cocoa and Oscar are best friends and must be placed together. Of course, Cocoa has been spayed and Oscar has been neutered. Both are great in the litter box and are VERY social bunnies--meaning they love to be lavished with pets and attention from their human caretakers and even want to hang around when it isn't dinner time.

Cocoa is a small 2.5 lbs and she is as cute as a bun in a rug. Although she is on the small size, she has a BIG personality. Cocoa, who could have been named Go-Go, is a busy, busy bunny. She is looking for a human will supply her with endless love and endless toys and lots and lots of time and space to run, run, run, run and run some more. (Although since she is a small bunny, a properly bunny-proofed apartment will be plenty of space.) Cocoa's hobbies include redecorating her apartment, remodeling cardboard boxes, and posing for the camera. She has great litter box habits and eats her hay and veggies without any complaints.

Oscar, who is also a small bunny, is dreamy-soft to pet, and is a good little bunny. He is very personable and has liked every person who has visited the foster home--he has such a "good to meet you" attitude. Oscar is playful and fun to watch. He is a toy tosser and overall a fun little guy. He delights his foster mom to binkies throughout the day, especially when it's time for dinner, and always has time to stop his activities for a some petting.

Oscar and Cocoa are a good pair for a first-time rabbit home, or someone who wants to give a lot of attention to a pair of bunnies.


winston1.jpg



Winston is a furry, fuzzy, friendly guy. He probably thinks his name is "awwww" because he hears it so much from visitors and his foster parents. Well, just look at him! Lop ears, adorable spots, wild fur...no wonder!

Winston is a good veggie and hay eater which is important for all bunnies but especially when you're as furry as he is. We recommend regular grooming sesions at home with his forever mom/dad. It won't be too hard--Winston is happy to cooperate when it's all about him and he's being petted. Basically, hes 's easy to groom and in the end he thinks the gentle brushing is simply wonderful .

Oh, and he will let you hold his chin in your left hand while your pet him with your right hand--he actually prefers it.

What makes Winston special is that you will be able to pet him and pet him until your arms get tired and he will still want more! But he won't be angry if you step away. He knows you still have to make him dinner and change his litterbox--especially since he's near perfect in using it.




nealy1.jpg


ADOPTION PENDING!
Nealy is extra small, extra sweet and extra cute. Nealy is part-dutch and has black and white ears. Her eyes are a stunning blue that are easy to get lost in. Oh, and here's something incredible about Nealy: she LIKES to be held. Yep. LIKES it. We aren't sure if it's because she's young (she was found alone in a park and must have been abandoned when she was too young to be separated from her rabbit mom).

Loves pets? Yep. Loves attention? Yep. Love to kick up her heels, run and entertain? Yep. Yep. Yep. She's even getting the hang of the litter box and we suspect will be perfect once she's been spayed. We think Nealy might be the ideal candiate for a neutered bunny friend, or for a really devoted human or two. Nealy is ready to meet visitors but hasn't been spayed yet so she has to stay in foster care until then.




chriselliotchaz.jpg



Chaz is an adorable lop--she is a "10" on the adorable bunny scale.

Chaz is adventurous, outgoing, friendly and decided that she had met her bunny soul mates as soon as she came to the foster home.

In this photo, Chaz, the middle bunny, hopped into the pen next to her to share a meal with the pair of boys next door. (Brothers Chris and Elliot. They didn't seem to mind her visit and even welcomed her with open paws.) There were no issues with this bonding--all three bunnies agreed that they wanted to live together and have been snuggling, grooming and eating and playing together ever since.

Chaz is a lot of fun to interact with and will entertain visitors with high binkies and mad dashes about the foster home. She's good a tearing up her own toys (like cement tube tunnels and phone books) but doesn't seem destructive when it comes to human treasure (Still, as with all buns proper bun-proofing is important!) If you have ever dreamed of having a trio of bonded bunnies Chaz, Chris and Elliot might be the ones for you!



chriselliot7.jpg


NOTE: Chris and Elliott are bonded to Chaz. (Bunny above). All three bunnies must go to the same forever home.
Chris & Elliott are brothers and best bun friends. Because these two are best friends, they must go to the same forever home. You'll have no worries about litter boxes with these two, though, they happily share a single one. That goes for water crock and food dish two!

These two are shy at first--and we recommend that someone who wants the joy of showing this pair that humans can be good, loving creatures to consider adopting them. If you want to meet these two, and really give them the chance to get to know you, we also recommend that you plan on visiting them in the foster home a couple of times. This pair really needs to understand that you will be there to love them--not discard them--before they will be able to offer you their paws in trust.

william1.jpg



William is a small bunny but he has a big spirit! He's playful, friendly and just too cute!

William has that "it" factor that is so hard to define but so easy to recognize. Once you meet him, you'll know what we mean.

William is a great hay eater, loves his veggies, and absolutely adores his morning treat. You will never feel as important in this world as when you feed William his morning treat. He'll "dance" and quiver with excitement and lick his lips in anticipation. It's impossible to resist!

We think William would be a good companion for another bunny (who has already been spayed), but he could probably be happy as a single bun as long as he had a devoted human or two.


margo1.jpg



Margo is so adorable it's hard to believe. What makes Margo special is her insistence on a pre-breakfast run. Every morning, when her caretaker opens the door to Margo's apartment, in a little flash of brown Margo darts out of her apartment, runs up the hallway, runs a lap around the room and bolts back into her apartment ready to eat. She might be little but she is FAST! The entire lap takes her only a few seconds. We think she might be the Michael Phelps of the bunny world!

Margo is also a very vocal girl. She grunts and snorts and makes little squeaky noises to say "yum," and "more please," and "I love tearing up this cardboard box." Margo also snores. Yes, you read that right: she snores. LOUDLY! So even though she is a small, 3 lb bunny, you probably are not going to want to put her in your bedroom. We find it adorable but know that not everyone will!

By the way, we know this photo is out focus but it was the best we could do. Margo had too much to do to wait for us to get a good shot.


cissy2.jpg



Cissy is the cutest spotted lop we have ever seen. She is almost "half-a-lop" or "left-eared" as she likes to hold her left ear up, and her right ear down like a "proper" lop.

Cissy is a good girl and she needs someone who understands that she is an independent, curious girl (re: she wants to run and play and explore her surroundings) and that she is scared of people (re: she needs time to get to know YOU.)

If you come to visit Cissy in the foster home, we hope you'll understand that it won't be a quick visit--this girl needs to know you are there to give her good attention, before she'll warm up and start to trust you.

See Cissy's photo gallery here.

maggiemurphy.jpg



Maggie and Murphy are adorable, loving and cuddly--the reason they were surrendered had nothing to do with this wonderful bunny pair, and we can't wait for foster home visitors to meet them and see why.

These two are a delight and have settled into their Huntsville foster home with ease. Their foster parents tell us that someone looking for bunnies to love, who want to get a lot of love back, need to look no further then this pair. Murphy is a little more adventurous than Maggie---he likes to explore he surroundings first--but Murphy has a way of making Maggie feel secure and helps her get in the game.

Are you the forever home these two are looking for? As with all of our pairs, Maggie and Murphy must go to the same loving home.

isabelle1.jpg



Isabelle is a bunny who needs lots of toys because she seems to have a well-defined purpose in life: get busy and get it done. This friendly lop needs toys to toss, toys to chew, toys to flop on and flip over and toys to keep her busy! Toss toys, wicker balls, old phone books and toilet paper tubes, Slinkies, batta balls...whatever the toy you can't go wrong. When it's her turn to play in bun-run Isabelle doesn't disappoint: she does lots of binkies punctuated by toy tossing and brief moments of stretching out on her tummy to cool down before it's back to playtime!

Even though she's a busy girl, she has plenty of time (and desire) to be loved on and be the center of attention. You just have to wait until she's finished her bunny-do list and has had a little snack. Busy Issy is also excellent in her litter box (another bunny who we are sure is in the gifted program).


abby4.jpg

Abigail's name is bigger than she is! Less than 3 pounds, this petite young lady is playful with a spunky attitude. She loves to rabbit race and binky during play time. Abby has a great personality, and can be independent and initially shy around people. She's quite a talker and "honks" to express herself--for everything from "stay out of my territory" to "where's my dinner?" She has great litter box habits, and quite an appetite, despite her small size. Abby is a "special needs" bunny -- with a rare adrenaline disorder. This disorder causes her to cycle, despite having been spayed. While not requiring special medical treatment or medication, the disorder does cause Abby to be aggressive toward male rabbits. She's therefore best suited for a single bunny home, with her own person to love and entertain. See Abby's photo gallery here.



This page is dedicated to the memory of Moose who went to the Rainbow Bridge on April 10th 2006. Moose was named so for his big heart--not his size. He was with Alabama EARS from (almost) the beginning. We miss you moose!
