Resident Rabbits
"Resident Rabbits" are very special rabbits - these guys and girls were given to MHRR to be adoptable but have been "adopted" by the rescue to be advocates for rabbits everywhere. Residents travel to events and classrooms to teach others about bunnies. To qualify, a rabbit must remain calm under most conditions, including around dogs and boisterous children (and adults!), tolerate being held for long periods of time, handle car rides well, and get along with other resident bunnies. For those who know rabbits - it can be quite difficult to find all of these qualities in a single bun!
Halo - Lionhead female
Born: May 2006
Came to MHRR: July 2006
Halo was surrendered to MHRR with her 4 littermates from a family that was told they had purchased 2 girl lionheads at Eastertime. Whoops! Like her siblings, she was people friendly, mellow, and got along with other rabbits from a young age. Because she had these qualities and was so small and cute with her classic lionhead mane, we opted to keep her for events. She is now bonded to Alfred.
Lil Bit - Harlequin mix female
Born: June 2005
Came to MHRR: Oct 2005
Lil Bit was one of 16 rabbits that MHRR rescued from the Ag Center animal shelter after Hurricane Katrina. Bit, along with Bonita and her daddy Domino, were found and picked up by the Dept. of Wildlife & Fisheries during the search of New Orleans after the storm. We still have her original paperwork from the DOWF, including the home address where she was discovered, but her owner was never found. After having been through the hurricane itself, rescue, and temporary shelter, how could you not handle the stress of a 4-hr event with ease? Lil Bit is now bonded with Mango.
Alfred - Jersey Wooley male
Born: ???
Came to MHRR: Jan 2007
Alfred was found wandering an air force base in Shreveport, LA, and found by a bunny-owner that was stationed there. He was going to be adopted by one of our volunteers but was kept at MHRR for a while, and while here, he was brought to a few events. He charmed the crowds and did great with the noise, so he was granted resident status! Alfred is now bonded with Halo.
Mango - New Zealand/Californian male
Born: Feb 2008
Came to MHRR: April 2008
Mango was one of the "M-gang", a litter of 7 rabbits that was brought to the rescue (originally 9, but 2 were adopted before arriving) whose parents were put up for adoption at the feed store in New Orleans... unfortunately together, and not spayed or neutered! Mango came to the rescue with his littermates, and was later fostered with Stella (2). He was such a gentleman, that when it came time for him to come back to the main house, we tried him with Lil Bit who had lost her resident bondmate Dakota. Within minutes they were snuggling, so it was sealed!
