February is Adopt-a-Rabbit month! We'll be featuring our adoptable rabbits, and sharing rabbit info all month long! Our first adoptable rabbit is Grace! Grace came into Hamilton Animal Control as a stray, and she was in really rough shape when she first got there. This is how the animal control officer described Grace’s condition when she was picked up: “Emaciated, hungry, overgrown nails, matted, hair loss and bruising from pulling out mats.” Either Grace was severely neglected before she was abandoned outdoors to fend for herself, or she had been outdoors on her own for so long, her health and physical condition had deteriorated to this sad and painful state. We’re thankful someone was kind enough to call to report finding Grace before it was too late. During her time at HAC, she re-gained her strength and a lot of her fur grew back in. The staff there did a great job caring for her. We rescued Grace from HAC and took her to our vet where she was spayed. In her foster home, she bonded with another HAC rescue named Jefferson and they were adopted together. Fast forward 6 months and we received a message from their adopter that Jefferson had passed away suddenly of unknown causes. After a few weeks of being alone, Grace became heartbroken. She was not being her usually friendly self. She stopped using her litter box and didn’t want to groom herself. Because their family situation had changed since initially bringing the rabbits home, Grace’s adopters weren’t interested in adopting another rabbit to try to mend Grace’s broken heart and they decided to return her to us. We placed Grace into a new foster home, and after some much needed love and care to gain back her trust, Grace is now ready to find her forever home again.
