Rui, bunny rabbit

Rui is a male bunny rabbit being kept at Bunnies and Beyond.

He's already been neutered.

Notes from Rui's caretakers:

Rui (Roo-ey) is a sweet, sensitive bunny with impeccable manners. He chews on nothing but his toys and keeps a spotless home and play area thanks to his nearly perfect litter box habits. He enjoys treats, playtime, tossing a ball, nibbling on alfalfa cubes (with his svelte figure, he can afford the extra calories) and long naps on his fleece blanket. He is a rescue from the colony of domestic rabbits living wild in Las Vegas, so he enjoys the company of other rabbits (with fencing in between) and would be a good candidate for bonding to the right female.

Hopsy, Flemish giant rabbit mix

Hopsy is a male Flemish giant rabbit mix being cared for at Animal Care Centers of NYC - Manhattan.

He's already been neutered.

Notes from Hopsy's caretakers:

This poor soul was clearly rescued from an unfortunate situation — he has a tattoo in one ear, suggesting he was a taken from a breeder or from a lab. He's very shy, likely because he was probably never socialized. When you try to pet him, he doesn't seem to know what to make of it, though he will come around with time. You can tell Hopsy is very mild-mannered and sweet, he's just confused by his sad and constantly changing lot in life. He would do best in a bunny-savvy home and would likely benefit greatly from a bunny partner.

Bugs, rex rabbit mix

Bugs is a handsome male rex rabbit mix currently housed at Animal Care Centers of NYC - Manhattan.

He's already been neutered.

Bugs' current caretakers say:

This guy is full of life, super-pumped for playtime and companionship, and a sucker for affection. When you first introduce yourself, he's practically apoplectic with excitement and the prospect of "out time," but if you start petting him, he'll turn into mush, gradually flattening himself into a pancake and tooth purring like crazy. Bugs has oversized ears, suggesting he may grow bigger, and he's a strong, powerful bunny.

Gussie, dwarf rabbit

Gussie is a winsome female dwarf rabbit currently housed at Rabbit Rescue & Rehab.

No other pets please: Gussie is looking for a home without other dogs or cats. Rabbit Rescue & Rehab wants to place Gussie in a home without small children. She's already been spayed.

Notes from Gussie's caretakers:

Introducing Gussie, a real doll! Gussie is a small, young girl who is cute as a button. This little nugget has big beautiful eyes, one blue, one brown, surrounded in thick black eyeliner. Gussie is very a sweet little cherub. She loves to snuggle with her stuffed animal friend, explore and eat. She is comforted by the soothing tones of Bob Ross.

Bubble Gum, bunny rabbit mix

Bubble Gum is a charming male bunny rabbit mix currently housed at Bunnies and Beyond.

Bubble Gum's ideal forever home would be a dog-free environment, and he is looking for a home without small children. He's already been neutered.

Here's what Bubble Gum's friends at Bunnies and Beyond think of him:

I know what you’re thinking: Bubble Gum is so handsome he couldn’t possibly be real. Once you get past his extreme good looks, svelte body and extra-large ears, Bubble Gum reveals himself to be a sensitive soul and an intellectual who loves food, puzzles and clicker training. Bubble Gum relishes floor time with his foster mom, investigating whatever she is reading or typing, climbing on her or stretching out beside her for head rubs and a nap. Bubble Gum will thrive in a low-key home with humans who let him determine the pace and terms of their interaction.

Jaime, satin rabbit mix

Jaime is a handsome male satin rabbit mix currently residing at Bunnies and Beyond.

He's already been neutered.

Jaime's current caretakers say:

Jaime is a medium-large charcoal satin boy. He is energetic and outgoing and needs plenty of run-around time every day. He's also very affectionate and demands a lot of cuddle time. Jamie is also a recent bunny widower; because of this, he may only be adopted as a partner for another rabbit.

Lex, rex rabbit and harlequin rabbit mix

Lex is a male rex rabbit and harlequin rabbit mix currently residing at Rabbit Rescue & Rehab.

Lex is neutered.

Lex's current caretakers say:

Lex is a medium-sized male harlequin rex, approximately 2 years of age. He has a medium-to-high energy level. He is a shy guy when meeting new people but quickly warms up. This sweet, gentle boy is very inquisitive, likes to play with his toys and, due to his sweet demeanor, would make a great companion rabbit.
