River:
Meet River, our newest rescue. River was found as a stray in Virgina. She was living outside for many months, and at some point, she suffered a fracture to her front leg. This leg is completely bent backwards. River will need her leg amputated, which is scheduled for this Friday. In addition to the broken leg, River also needed to be treated for mites.
Despite all she has been through River is the sweetest little bunny. Upon rescue she snuggled up in our arms. She is enjoying getting pets, eating veggies, and relaxing in her pen.
We will post updates once River has her surgery on Friday.

Betsy:
Betsy came to us over the summer from a hoarding case in Baltimore. When we took Betsy in, she had four newborn babies. Betsy was a great mom to her babies! Recently Betsy started showing signs of hypomotility and a respiratory infection. We took her to our vets to be evaluated, and they determined that she needed to be hospitalized. During her hospitalization Betsy started having seizures. She then developed a head tilt and started rolling. These are both classic signs of E. Cuniculi, which is a debilitating parasitic infection that most commonly affects the nervous system.
Currently Betsy has severe neurological symptoms and needs around the clock care. She is on many different medications and needs to be hand fed food and water throughout the day. Betsy's veterinary care was costly to the rescue, and we are asking for donations to help fund her care.

April 2025 update:
We’re excited to share a positive update on Betsy! She’s making great progress and is doing much better. She still has a head tilt but her rolling is very minimal. She does still roll when you pick her up and hold her. We’ve expanded her living space, and she’s gradually adjusting to a larger litter box.
Betsy is such a sweet girl – she loves giving kisses and playing with her ball. She’s also a great hay eater and absolutely adores her treats and veggies! We are so proud of her progress and resilience.
We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has contributed to her medical expenses. Your generosity truly makes a difference, and without your support, rescuing rabbits like Betsy wouldn’t be possible. Stay tuned for more updates!
Hampshire:
Hampshire is a sweet 3-month-old bunny that was rescued by a kind police officer on New Hampshire Avenue in Montgomery County. She was unfortunately found with a broken leg and had to have a hind leg amputated. The surgery and follow-up care has been costly, but she is worth it! We are kindly asking for your support to help cover her medical expenses and ensure she gets the best possible care. If you are able, please consider donating - every little bit helps! Hampshire is currently under a foster's care but is available for adoption!
