Meet Critter of the Week, Ivory!
Ivory is a gentle, shy bunny with a fluffy white coat. 🐇
She loves a cozy space where she can relax with fresh hay, tasty veggies, and fun toys. 🥕
She’s closing in on a year in our care, so we’d really like to see her in a furever home.

Odin just returned to his foster home after 10 days of battling #parvovirus.
He fought hard and is going to be okay, but it’s left him thin and frail.
Maybe a treat toy or two would help - HINT, HINT. ⬇️
We’re sure he’ll be back to his chubby cuteness in no time! 🐶

Despite intensive treatment, Montgomery, Alfie, Kipp, Buckley, Kassie, and Logan have lost their battle with #parvovirus and have crossed the rainbow bridge. 🌈 We followed strict protocols to limit the spread, but this was an extremely aggressive strain.
The other affected pups are improving. 🤞
