Cal

Rescue Date: 4/26/2007

Suffering from severe dental disease and neglect, Cal has been on a long journey back to health. Upon rescue, Cal’s health problems included a chest of matted fur from drooling saliva which burned his skin, molar spurs so sharp they sliced his tongue, malnutrition from being unable to eat as well as multiple bacterial infections.

Today, after many vet visits, multiple molar trims, tests, cultures and antibiotics, Cal is able to eat greens and pellets on his own, although the permanently scarred tongue does not allow him to eat hay.  He is a happy, lively little guy who, thankfully, has a tremendous will to live...and we feel blessed to know and to be able to help him.   Cal will need to remain on antibiotics long term to keep his jaw abscess under control and his veterinary care will need to be on-going.   If you would like to help us support Cal, please do sponsor him! 

                 Lacey

Rescue Date: 7/20/2006

This little lady was found abandoned in a parking lot of an industrial office complex.  We wonder how some people can be so cruel - to leave an animal in such a dangerous place in the summertime heat!   But thankfully, there are also very kind people in this world.  A gentle man found her and took her in until he could find a safe place to give her proper care.

We knew Lacey was very young when she was found, but in seeing how much she has grown since rescue, she must have been much younger than we thought! Now weighing 5.7 lbs., she was only 3.5 lbs. when rescued. Sadly Lacey has never recovered mentally from the trauma of her abandonment. We do not know all she went through, but she expresses that trauma to this day with fear aggression which we are slowly beginning to overcome.

Lacey especially likes to hear of people who care about her; for often it is the kindness of strangers that helps renew one’s faith and cheer you the most. So, if you would like to be her soul mate, she would most welcome the knowledge that she is loved.

 Penny

Rescue Date: 1/22/2002

   Penny and her sister were born into a family who did not understand rabbits.  Kept all together in a small cage without much care they soon heard the owners say that they could no longer stay. How sad for Penny, just five months old, unloved and unwanted. 

  Taken into Safe Haven Rabbit Rescue, both girls soon blossomed into happy, healthy bunnies.  Able to run and play, Penny was very happy, but somewhat shy and afraid of people.  Who could blame her?  Silly Penny would run and hide when visitors came to see her.  She boxed at any boy bunnies that came to court her.  So, dear Penny did not get adopted.  But, actually, now we think it was a game she was playing!  Or maybe she knew that as she matured she would develop health problems. 

Penny has a condition known as “bladder sludge” which requires extra visits to the vet for x-rays every six months and her receiving subcutaneous fluids three times a week. Your sponsorship will help support that treatment and let Penny know you love her too!

LiAnne

Rescue Date: 4/22/2005

We always knew there must have been a reason why LiAnne came to us and seemed to decide to stay a while.  In foster care since April 2005, LiAnne was always the picture of health - no health issues or problems - until March 2007 when she suddenly became very ill.   Blood tests revealed a high e.cuniculi titer.

We are happy to report that currently LiAnne is doing very well.  The clinical symptoms of the disease have disappeared and she currently is symptom free.  

We expect LiAnne to live a long and happy life and we would love to see her in either a "one bunny" home or bonded to another EC positive rabbit.  Until her very special comes along, LiAnne would love to be your very special sponsored little girl!
