Rabbit Advocates

Meet Lionel 🦁

Lionel is a 2-year-old, tiny Lionhead weighing just over 2.5 pounds, but don’t tell him he’s tiny. In his mind, he is an enormous, fearless rabbit with important places to be and every nook and cranny to investigate.

Lionel is confident, curious, brave, and wonderfully full of personality. During free-roam time, he leaves no corner unexplored. He is litter-box trained and, when he has his own space, is an exceptionally tidy little guy. He keeps his hay where it belongs, does his business in his litter box, and we haven’t seen him chewing things he shouldn’t. He also does some of the most spectacular, dramatic side-flops we’ve ever seen.

He loves pets between his ears, but would rather you leave the rest of him alone. He’ll hop into our laps for treats, stand up for pets when we walk by, and spends much of his day out exploring rather than hiding.

Lionel has not been around cats or dogs but we do think he would be an excellent candidate for bonding. Hop over to Rabbit Advocates to learn more about adopting little Lionel! 💻💜

Meet OlliePop, a 4-month-old Holland Lop, an absolute gorgeous grey gem! This little guy is a perfect gentleman with excellent litter habits and, so far, has shown zero interest in being destructive. Basically, he’s making a very strong case for himself.

Ollie is looking for a foster-to-adopt home where he can continue growing into his best bunny self and hopefully find his forever family.

Rabbit Advocates will provide:
• Medical care/costs
• Some startup supplies

You provide:
• Safe, appropriate housing
• Lots of love
• Daily care and attention
• Transportation to and from veterinary appointments

If you think OlliePop might be your perfect little gray gentleman, send us a message to learn more about foster-to-adopt!
