Ishtar on Daily Bunny!!!!

Spokesbun takes his promotional work seriously. "How many more do we need to do?  Ok, let's try to do it in one take this time."   "Oh hai there.  If you're like me you enjoy the refined taste of Nibbler's Choice Snacky Carrots with your afternoon te.....Oh what now?  What do you mean the cameraman wasn't ready?  Jerry?"   "Look, Jerry, I have an audition at 5.  It's for the part of the new girl's pet in Gossip Girls 2.  Michael Bay is directing.  You may have heard of him?  In other words it's a MUST make for me.  Think we can wrap up this promo?"   :)  Took a little liberty with Ishtar here.  He's an adoptable with RabbitMatch in Los Angeles.  So naturally he's a struggling actor in his part time :P  You can read more about little Ishtar on his Petfinder page here.

Pics of Summer's new home!!!

Our Summer is in BunnyLand!  and with a beautiful Emily caring for her too!

Michelle, one of Summer's new humans says:  Here's a pic of Summer's "enclosure" during the day when I'm at work. In the evenings she gets full run of our bedroom, which her enclosure is about 1/10th of.

Yes, made me get teary...

One of our Favorite Bunny Rescues is Going BIG!!!

Got bunnies?  Need bunny supplies?

Here’s what local bunnies are saying about Brambley Hedge Rabbit Rescue’s newly expanded Bunny Supply Store…

“The best place in town for bunny toys, treats and supplies!” Heather Lopear, 3 year old Holland Lop

“One-stop shopping for the most discerning rabbit.”  Mr. Big, 5 year old Checkered Giant

“Wonderful people, great assortment of toys, convenient and centrally located, unbeatable prices…I’ll hop over to Brambley Hedge’s Bunny Store any day.” Taz, 2 year old Mini Rex

“Even this disapproving rabbit approves of BHRR’s newly expanded store and inventory.” Wiley, 6 year old Himalayan

“Four paws up and no thumps for Brambley Hedge Rabbit Rescue’s newly expanded Bunny Supply Store.”  Trickster, 3 year old Dutch

With the biggest assortment of rabbit-approved toys, treats and supplies in town, Brambley Hedge Rabbit Rescue has recently expanded its Bunny Supply Store and its bunny-approved inventory as well. Brimming with old favorites like willow balls, flip ‘n toss carrots and more, BHRR’s Bunny Supply Store  also boasts one-of-a-kind, locally made Luv Bites, bunny-safe toys, like the Mini Rex Cholla Chew, the Dutch Clothespin Chomp and many more.  You will not find this variety anywhere in the valley and you certainly won’t find these toys at these prices.  From litter boxes and litter, to five, ten and 25 pound boxes of fresh cut timothy hay, pellets, the largest array of rabbit toys anywhere in Arizona, ceramic crocks,  Furminators, to homemade bunny approved goodies, BHRR Bunny Supply Store is THE place to go if you’re looking to please your disapproving rabbit.  Best of all, proceeds from the bunny store as well as the adjacent thrift store go directly to helping the homeless rabbits in Brambley Hedge’s care.  Now that’s something even the most disapproving rabbit will approve of!

For nearly 25 years, BHRR has been rescuing, sheltering, rehabilitating and re-homing rabbits throughout Arizona and the southwest. By working collaboratively with other animal welfare agencies, BHRR has been and will continue to be committed to helping expand the understanding and acceptance of rabbits as domestic pets while helping educate our community about responsible and proper pet parenting.

Great educator tip...treating fleas

Sometimes people confuse Revolution, which is safe, with Frontline, which is not. They both have battlefield connotations. Here's how to keep people from killing their rabbits:

"F stands for "Fail" and "Fatal". You get an "F" if you give the rabbit Frontline, which is Fatal. You've Failed your rabbit if you give it Fatal Frontline." Say all that and nobody will ever mix up Frontline and Revolution again.

One of Sunday's participants (Vicki Anderholt) pointed out the Fail and Frontline connection.

Celebration!! Two adoptions today to A+ humans!!

Yahooooooo!  Yuri and Summer have large new living spaces with their new humans.  I hear Summer is already streaking across the floor in hoppiness...  ; )

Summer

Yuri

Here's an email I just got from Summer's new mom...

Just writing to say we couldn't be happier with Summer!  She's all established in her new home (although we are working on configuring something even better using those cubes from Target).  She hops all around our bedroom, has been eating lots of hay and some broccoli and has been chewing on boxes and wood blocks (Emily was excited that the block you sent was the same as some she has in her room so she was able to contribute more toys for Summer :0).  She's been drinking and going potty in her litter box so everything is smooth so far.  She comes right up to us for petting and snuggles too...more than we expected so early!  My husband has taken to her too.  Right now she is hopping all over our room, checking out everything and sometimes running gleefully across the room :0)

Thank you for all the love and care you [we!] gave her before she came to us.  We know how much time and dedication that takes.  You [We!] kept her a happy bunny so she can enjoy this next part of her life with us :0)

It doesn't get Any Better.

Because of YOU!!

Click to view this email in a browser

	Dear Bunny Lover, During the past four years, because of you, 235 abandoned Los Angeles rabbits have found loving humans to care for them. Unfortunately, homelessness continues. The financial challenge of caring for and re-homing our rabbits is constant and we need your support to continue our work -- especially during these difficult economic times. When asked why we should care about what happens to homeless rabbits in Los Angeles, we talk about two of our current residents, Roslind and Orlando. When these buns first appeared at Rabbit Match's door, they were extremely thin, urine stained and had no fur left on their legs or tail from urine scald. They were both weak and lethargic. As volunteers, we watched with anxiety wondering if the two would live. Here's their story... I'm Roslind aka "The Roz". We were confiscated from a hoarder. We were in such bad shape, the moms didn't want to photograph us right away. You know, this IS a family friendly rescue and we didn't want to make the children cry. You see, I weighed less than 4 lbs -- much less that the 5 lbs I should weigh! The fur had been burned off my feet, legs and tail (you all know about urine scald!)...filth and starvation were the order of the day in our former home. I'm just glad to be alive in a healthy and safe place with moms who care about me. Your (now) beautiful loppy girl, Roslind. From Orlando... Indeed our former home was filth and starvation. I weighed 4 lbs when l arrived here instead of my macho 5 lbs too! My feet and tail had no fur. My tummy was all dreadlocks! I had to wait for my first shed so the moms could get a brush through it!!!!! I'm an amazingly outgoing boy too. Don't you just want to take me home, hold me close and pet my silky ears???? hhhmmmmmm?????? Sure hope your x-pen is large enough for both myself and Roslind. Yes, we both do nosebonks too! Your sweet bun, Orlando. Because of the caring hearts and generous donations from people like you RabbitMatch.org is able to keep and care for these two fuzzkids. We've provided comprehensive medical care for Roz and her husbun and hundreds of other homeless Los Angeles bunnies who are lucky enough to find their way to our door. We need your help to continue saving these little lives. Our greatest financial need is for veterinary expenses. We spend a monthly average of $1,115 when medical intervention is called for as these neglected and sick bunnies come in. They can't wait...fleas, fur or ear mites, abscesses, broken bones, eye infections or maloccluded incisors need attention right away. And of course, a basic financial need as always, is for daily fresh veggies of mixed romaine, parsley and cilantro averaging about $100 per week for roughly 35 bunnies. Ample oat hay is critical. We go through three 100-lb. bales per week at a cost of $15 each. Your donation will help us achieve our $4,000 goal for this fundraiser -- two months of veterinary care and food supplies. Again, your financial support is essential at this time. RabbitMatch.org will only continue to exist with your generous support. Please make a donation for the bunnies now by clicking on the link below or sending a check to: RabbitMatch.org/SEE Foundation PO Box 642839 Los Angeles, CA 90064 Your generous gift is tax deductible. We are a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization through a partnership with SEE Foundation (www.SaveOurPlanet.org). Federal tax number is 95-4116679.

New kid at RabbitMatch! He's adorabun!

Hello, I'm Pandolfini, joining up with RabbitMatch, 9/19/10.  I am a handsome spot-x lad.  Very crisp black fur tones on my white coat.  Bold eye makeup too.  And how about my beauty mark?????  My former family cared enough about me to have me neutered but when I managed to slip out the back door to look around (not recommended) and didn't return, they didn't waste much energy looking for me.  The volunteers here say I have the NICEST personality.  Isn't that what you've been looking for????  We were meant for each other!!!!!  I weigh 4.5 lbs and my birthdate is 2/1/10.  I want to demonstrate my happy bunny side flop for you!!!!   Faithfully Yours, Pandolfini.
