The following bunnies are available for adoption and/or fostering and many will be at Centinela Feed:
Dancer, Prancer, and Cupid: These cute Lops (one boy and two girls) are from a litter of six. They are sweet rabbits. They are so friendly and love to play.
Benny is a handsome, loving guy and has that oh-so-soft Rex fur. He's a very outgoing, friendly boy.
Mr. & Mrs. Rabbit: He's a broad-faced, friendly Himalayan mix and she's a beautiful redheaded rabbit. Mr. & Mrs. Rabbit had 11 babies and they have all been adopted except their son Stripe. Everyone wants babies, nobody wanted the mom and dad. Now it's time for them to find their forever home!
Smokey: A handsome, medium-small rabbit with silver-smokey highlights on his nose and beautiful dark eyes. This misunderstood bunny had some bad experiences with people when he was a little one and he will probably always be a bunny's bunny more than a "people bunny," but for your lonely girl rabbit, he could be just what the doctor ordered! He's a good boy and a great house rabbit--all he wants is a home and a rabbit to love.
Cupcake and Browny: Cute bunny couple, must be adopted together because they love each other very much. She's small, he's medium-sized. Both are great house bunnies.
Just when you thought you had seen the gamut of rabbit neglect and abuse, just look at me!! It's amazing. I am a lilac cross boy. However, my former humans felt that my cream and fawn tipped coat needed a makeover and they painted me psychedelic pink with some nasty goo. It was wet and made me cold and tasted just awful!! I managed to get it off my topcoat and for a time I had a pink tongue. It looks like I'll have to shed before I can get it out of my undercoat. Yuck!! Right now I'm in the process of comparing notes with my fellow human pals and learning to trust again. I do love the fresh hay and organic veggies here. Never knew such delicacies even existed!! Come see me soon. I need all the pets I can get. Love, Quicksilver
My name is Dandelion. I don't remember anything from my childhood. The people who found me saw the car knock me into the gutter. That was in the report. My head hurt. My eyelid was cut. My lovely white angora coat was smeared with oil. I'm still working on making myself beautiful again!! I'm taking it one day at a time. I have lovely subtle Himalayan markings too. One of my parents must have been a shorthaired rabbit because my coat is quite easy to brush. I'm hoping you will want to take over this task from my volunteer friends. We can sing, "Blow away Dan-dee-lionnnn" together!! Yes, I sing, well maybe I honk a little, but you have to listen very carefully!! Love, Dandelion P.S. I'm already spayed and litterbox trained too. I was just spayed and treated for my cuts and bruises from my close escape with the car so more dahling photos will be coming as soon as my rest period is over. Soft bed, lots of pellets and pets. Yummy. My humans say I'm full grown. They weighed me yesterday -- oh, the indignity! -- and I clocked in at 4.7 lbs.
Nibbles and Josie: Nibbles is a fun-loving, brown agouti boy who likes to be petted when he's done dancing around your feet. Josie is a silky Dutch/Dwarf cross. When you pet her, she rewards you with kisses on your face. They are both energetic and watching them play together is sure to make you laugh! [Note: when adopting this pair, be sure to ask for their photo CD.]

The following bunnies may not be at Centinela Feed this weekend but are available for adoption and/or fostering. Please contact Michelle at losangelesrabbits@earthlink.net for more info about how you can help these bunnies in need of loving homes.
Peppermint Patty: exceptionally friendly and adorable bunny girl.
Lotus & Clover are sister bunnies who are already spayed, know to use their box, and want to know why nobody has adopted them yet? We don't know, either. These pretty white rabbit girls that remind us of little flowers shouldn't be homeless. Won't you adopt them and make them happy bunnies?
Rosie sat still for the camera while Ellen explored the set... they are both beautiful, strawberry/caramel rabbits. Ellen sports a tiny white spot on the tip of her nose. These friendly girls are spayed and ready to go home with you!
Monkey's a wide-nosed, part-Dwarf, part-Florida White, part-Lop bunny with a lot of character. He's famous, because he's the mascot for The Bunny Bulletin in The Pet Gazette. His wife Minnie is a charming Dutch cross girl, solid black except for a tiny white nose tip. They compliment each other and make a handsome couple. They must be adopted together, of course.
John: Few people want the white rabbits with pink eyes and we just can’t figure it out (huh? How is it that white cats are so desirable?! What’s with these strange prejudices?). So the white rabbits wait and wait for someone less shallow to come along… Are you the one? If character and house habits are more important to you than color, please do let us know. John has a loving disposition and knows to use his box already. He’s neutered, too, just like all our rabbits, and would like a rabbit girlfriend of his own to keep him company.
Apricot: Beautiful, spirited girl who loves people as long as they let her have her way in everything. A good house bunny, Apricot already knows about her box. She loves oat blend hay, crunchies (pellets), greens and pets on top of her pretty head.
Dutton loves attention and smooshes down for pats. This middle-aged boy just lost his mate, Callie so he's very lonely and would really appreciate being somebun's husbunn again. Dutton is a handsome New Zealand boy who MUST live indoors--white bunnies are even less safe outside as they are more visible to predators.
Butterfly: Pretty, young, loving: everything you want in a bunny! She has flexible ears: she can put her ears straight, straight up or she can put them both all the way down, but most of the time she's one-ear-up, one-ear-down. Adorable. Pucci: This outgoing, medium-small rabbit wants a home with his beautiful girlfriend Butterfly. Butterfly and Pucci are done growing and are about two years old.
Roger is a handsome Lop boy who wants to be a loving husbunn to your spayed girlbunn. Picture coming soon!
Five Sisters: These pretty girls dance and play and will climb all over you if you give them a chance! Just 4 months old and recently spayed as of February 29, they are already litter-box-trained and ready to go home either together or separately as a friend for your gentle boy rabbit.
Percy: He is a glossy black boy who is active, curious, driven, playful, outgoing, and young (under six months old). He was abandoned when he was just weeks old, but he has been loved ever since his foster mom took him in last Fall. Percy gets excited anytime anyone enters the room where he lives. He'll run around and show how happy he is, just to try to get someone to pet him.
Pip II: This adorable little guy is only three pounds whose previous owners dumped into a bunny colony where he was attacked. His nose was injured, but in spite of all that he is slowly beginning to trust humans again. Pip enjoys bouncing around, loves to beg for treats, and would like to meet another bunny!
Pokey & Peanut: this loving couple must be adopted together. They are super house rabbits and used to having a room to themselves; their human
is giving them up only because of severe allergies. The Lop is a girl, the handsome dark agouti, her husbun.
Happy Feet: This medium red-haired explorer boy is a dancing fool! He can't stop squiggling and kicking up his heels, and zooming around at top speed, only to stop on a dime. He loves to play an enthusiastic game of run-around-the-feet or I-got-your-tail. This playboy will run off with your heart before you know it's missing, and when he's trailing your every step, his happiness makes the littlest apartment seem as spacious as a palace.
Alex and Alexis are a couple of mature Lop rabbits. Alexis is the white womanwith the dust ruffle along her back and Alex her black husbun. Although they are about seven years of age, they're in great shape and show no signs of growing old. They are well-mannered and terrific house rabbits.
Smokey: Small, perfect house bunny, the color of a Russian Blue cat, who gets along okay with gentle cats or gentle, subservient girl rabbits. Confident and outgoing, loving people-bunny. Already done growing and ready to go home with you!
Wanders and Flower: Even though they are giving each other the "bunny bottom" in this picture, Wanders and Flower adore one another. He's a medium-large, handsome guy who constantly forms escape plans and she loves to chew on things so you really have to bunny-proof! But these two beautiful rabbits are well worth it.
Maple and Syrup: Beautiful pair of medium-sized, adult Lop cross sisters who love each other and must be adopted together. They are used to lots of freedom because they're such good house bunnies. Maple is the chinchilla-grey Lop cross, Syrup her grey-and-white sister.
Roxy and Simon: Roxy is a caramel-colored dwarf cross. Simon is a black dwarf/minilop cross. Little Simon likes to swivel his big ears all around to follow your every move. His girl-bun Roxy is a bit nervous around people, but she's too curious to stay away for long. Adorable and active buns, Simon and Roxy would love a home of their own to explore.
Notredame is now bonded to Little White Bunny. He is a handsome little Hotot who was rescued from Garden Grove. He had a huge abscess on his back which made him look like a hunchback, hence his name. During his neuter, Notredame's abscess was removed by one of our bunny vets and now dame is healthy and happy, thanks to a dedicated volunteer who medicated him and pampered him after his surgery. Notredame still needs some socialization so he would do best in a quiet home, where he can be loved from afar until he gets to know his humans. Little White Bunny (LWB) has helped Notredame feel safe and loved. LWB doesn't look so little next to her new tiny husbunn, but they are both small rabbits who fell in love right away. She knows what it's like to have a bit of a defect. She was bitten in the nose by another rabbit so she has a little nose flap :( If you're interested in this cute, little odd couple, please email us.
Fuzzy Navel and Pizza Girl: Are two baby bunnies who were rescued from Garden Grove. They are an inseparable pair, almost always together, whether they're lounging, investigating, or checking out Supergirl, the hamster, in her hamster ball. Fuzzy likes sitting in his foster mom's lap better than Pizza Girl, who still is learning to trust.
Elsa: This beautiful Russian-Blue-colored rabbit that came to use with an open fracture on her left back leg, from a predator attack (she was abandoned at a park). She will never be able to dance and play like other rabbits, yet she can live more freely with you in your home because you know she will NOT be jumping up onto the desk and practicing her typing skills on your computer! Elsa stays in a 2' high exercise pen when you have to confine her. She's learning to trust people again and will love you forever if you adopt her.
Julio and Sooty Foot: Recently married rabbits that already love each other very much. Julio's the flopped Himalayan cross with the silver nose, Sooty the silver bunny with the white nose. Sooty runs the household, Julio does her bidding. They complement each other perfectly!
Freckles: This little one looks like a spotted egg. He's a sweet boy and can be adopted for your girlbun.
Peri and Winkle: These three-year old brothers want a home together. They were adopted but they have to come back because their human has health issues and cannot take care of them much longer. Please adopt these handsome Himalayan cross boys. They are perfect house bunnies, loving toward people and inseparable.
Aurora 2-yr-old ML English Spot x White & Orange: This lovely big bunny was found bouncing around the city; she's lucky to be here. Please keep rabbits safe inside with plenty of room to dance and play (hint: the spare bedroom or living room would be nice). Aurora has a strong personality and wants to be Top Bunny. She is currently dating a sweet, younger man named Loki.
Amethyst: Picture the cutest little white dwarf bunny you ever saw. That's me! I weigh in at 2 lbs. Please stop by to meet me.
Ratatouille is the cutest, sweetest, most kissy baby bunny we've ever met! This tiny Rex mix was named Ratatouille because his expressions and winning personality remind us of the wonderful little character in the movie. Plus, he licks everything and everyone, as though he's trying to sample all different tastes. We're so impressed by how sweet and loving Ratatouille is, especially since his life didn't start out well at all. He was rescued as a three-month-old from a really filthy environment where he was improperly handled and accidentally dropped by a child. Ratatouille had very bad sore hocks and his privates were covered in feces. This poor little guy had to have his nether regions cleaned up and shaved which resulted in a little rat tail. He needs help going to the bathroom because he has permanent neurological damage, but that means he's very huggable and grateful for your touch. He would be an ideal companion for someone who has lots of time to spend with him because he loves being near people and will long to be touched frequently. He's a happy little guy in spite of what he's been through and whomever adopts him will be a very lucky person indeed. And if he gets to be some girlbunn's husbunn, she'll be a very lucky girl, too!
I'm just one of those throw away easter bunnies they sell at swap meets. Let's not dwell on that. I think I'm very lucky to have been rescued though I hate living in a cage for part of the day. My foster mom tries to make up for it by giving me lots of time in the x-pen with toys and she also drapes a sheet over one side of the pen allowing me to create tunnels, giant droopy leaves, shapes to crunch and unroll. I figured out how to make a sheet-monster. All it takes is imagination. I never told mom I am a bunny martial arts expert. Yes I am. I hold a pink belt which closely matches my lovely rose eyes. I size up that monster and go after it, demonstrating my jab and sucker punch techniques. My hind feet see action too. I use my chisel sharp teeth to good advantage, tearing into the monster's hide. So yesterday, I had worked that monster over and moved in to finish it off. I used a little known head butting technique but suddenly things went wrong. The monster was no longer in front of me. My head was encircled by a noose-like grip. I couldn't free myself and through a mist I saw the Rainbow Bridge shimmering in front of me. Did you know bunnies have a defective reverse gear? It's true. It was supposed to be a military secret but some loose-lipped lapin must have blabbed it on the Internet. Hopefully you, my dear audience, take great care not to leave loops and nooses around in a bunny's environs because the interaction could be lethal. More good luck. Mom appeared and intervened. She had to make a really huge tear in the sheet to free me. Thank goodness for that advanced primate manual dexterity!! I was overheated and trembling. but the image of the Rainbow Bridge slowly receded and then vanished. Tomorrow I will put my pink belt aside and try for a parachute effect or maybe the cape of Zorro. Love, Icelandia
Bella's a soft, gentle bunny girl who needs a home soon. She was abandoned, then rescued, but her foster home can't keep her. What a lovely rabbit! Please adopt her, make her a happy bunny. For more information, please go to http://www.larabbits.org.
Marshmallow and Pixie are a pair of white cuddle-bunnies, very sweet and lovable. They are great with their litterbox but one of them likes to chew so you have to really bunny-proof. Absolutely must be adopted together--they kiss each other and snuggle all day long. Contact Michelle at 310-713-2478 for more info about these wonderful rabbits.
Francine: Rescued from a feral cat colony where she was abandoned, this resilient bunny girl needs a foster or permanent home ASAP. Francine can't get the pets she needs to be a happy bunny because that would be dangerous for her foster mom, who is highly allergic to bunnies. Despite all the hard knocks, Francine is a friendly, calm and well-adjusted rabbit who seems to take life as it comes. What a pretty girl!
Bike Trail Babies: These little ones were found abandoned near a bike trail. They were very lucky to be saved before all of them were killed by predators. Now they have a foster mom caring for them until they can be adopted out in August, after their neuters. These rabbit children are loving and smart--they have already learned to use their box! There are two girls and two boys, named Gandalf Grey-Ears, Pinkberry, Butterfly II, and Bun-Bun.
Reese: Beautiful dark bunny with peanut-butter highlights in her hair. Reese wants lots of space with another bunny. She's extremely people-shy, very intelligent. Because Reese can bite (when cornered or handled--when free, she avoids people), she's best for a home experienced with rabbits where they appreciate smart, spirited buns. Spayed and litterbox-trained, of course.
Rexie: This soft, soft rabbit is easygoing and affectionate, too. She hangs out with the cats in her foster home. She's bright white and black, a full-sized Rex rabbit with maybe some English Spot in her. Already spayed and a wonderful house rabbit.
Powder: big, elegant white rabbit with long, long ears. Powder Puff has the most misleading name: she's a tough rabbit with a loving disposition and a tendency to nip if she does not always get her way. Powder does a silly dance when people come to visit her and soaks up attention. She loves her playtime, toys, cardboard castle and people. This rabbit has loads and loads of character!
"Director's Choice" rabbits: 15 New Zealand rabbits were turned into a local shelter right before Christmas. These rabbits were used for a commercial shoot. The director took them home and then had his housekeeper drop them off at the shelter (not neutered, of course). The Director's Choice bunnies have cost us well over $3,000 in food, neuter and medical bills so far. Please help with a donation if you can (see our Donate page: http://larabbits.org/donate.htm).
Water Bunnies: In 2003 we rounded up 40 domestic breed, abandoned rabbits at a private water company. They were taking over the neighborhood, getting into peoples' flower gardens and eating their roses, so the neighbors were trying to poison the poor bunnies. We went in and spent several months catching these rabbits. Since almost all were born outside captivity after their grandparents were abandoned, they are afraid of people. But they are not wild rabbits and can't survive on their own. All the bunnies with a lot of light coloring were picked off by predators; only the black and grey bunnies survived. We call them the "Water Bunnies."
Please help spread the word: it's cruel to abandon any domestic animal, and it's illegal in the state of California!! Punishable by fine and imprisonment.
THANK YOU FOR SAVING A LIFE!
***
A little info:
Bunnies need unlimited oat hay and water daily! Although oat hay is the most important element in their diet, high-quality pellets and fresh greens are very important as well.
In addition, as everyone knows, they reproduce VERY quickly (a female rabbit can give birth every 30 days!). Altering rabbits is crucial for health reasons as well since they are much less likely to die of cancer if they are neutered.
It's so important to keep a bunny protected from predators and other outdoor elements. Too many people think of rabbits as outdoor, caged pets, both of which are the worst places for bunnies.
Bunnies can die from just the mere presence of predators. They can easily be shocked into death by fear. They are very delicate creatures. Of course, they have to be biologically, since they ARE prey. I've heard horrible stories from people who lost their rabbits to predators right in front of their very eyes! For instance, a hawk swooped down and grabbed someone's bunny from their backyard, while everyone was there having a BBQ. It's awful. Also, volunteers at the animal shelters, I've seen bunnies brought in with limbs missing and other horrific injuries, most caused by predators (cats, dogs, coyotes, flies, etc.) I never allow my bunnies to go outside. It's too dangerous.
