I would like to enter Pumpkin for Rescue Rabbit of the month for November

I saved this little boy by the skin of his teeth from being put to sleep. He was entire on arrival, and very hormonal. He had bitten all family members, including the dog, and had a tear on his ear on arrival...
The previous owner said neutering wouldn't make a difference, and nicknamed him 'devil rabbit'.
I didn't feel a rabbit should die for being hormonal, so accepted him here. He has now been neutered and we are hoping he will calm down in time.

Thank you Furry Friends for entering Pumpkin. What a sad story :( Hopefully he will soon settle down

Thank you very much for choosing Denzil as rescue of the month.After initially coming into the shelter very scared he has turned into a lovely friendly rabbit. The happy ending is that he went to his new home last week to be introduced to a female called Lilly. :D

We would like to enter Munchkin for the Rescue Rabbit of the Month.

Munchkin is 5 years old, she was actually born at the Rescue, and we fell in love with her :x :x she is a very beautiful chocolate chinchilla. Unfortunately she suffers from bladder sludge and has had to have 3 lots of bladder surgery, 2 to remove sludge and a full cystonomy (bladder stone removal). Earlier this year despite our best efforts she had to have her right eye removed because she had glaucoma :( she recovered very well from this operation and is now pain free.

She has been through so much in her life and has amazed us and the vets with her strength and sweetness. Everyone who meets her falls in love with her :x :x She is a permanent resident at the Rescue and lives in the Hospital building.

Here she is

And having a bunny nap :x :x

Can I enter the gorgeous rocco for rescue rabbit of the month please . Rocco only arrived this week . He has been neglected along with 2 other rabbits. He was starving and extremely dehydrated. He currently weighs 1.87 where he should be nearer 2- 2.5kg for his frame size poor little man is skin and bone and eyes tell a story . He just looks so fed up but now under bow bunny care he will come on leaps and bounds with binkies to match
