On October 26, 2023, a quiet but overwhelming moment arrived at the shelter: a family surrender of fourteen rabbits. A mother and father, along with two litters totaling twelve tiny babies, were brought in together, confused, fragile, and suddenly without a home.
Among them were two little black bunnies, just four weeks old. They would come to be known as Bugz and Buttons.
But as the months turned into years, the shelter saw many of the other rabbits find homes. Bugz and Buttons waited.
They were overlooked again and again, not because of who they were, but because of their color. Black bunnies are often the hardest to place- passed by for lighter, more “photogenic” companions. Days turned into weeks. Weeks into months. Months into years.
847 days- That’s how long Bugz and Buttons waited. They finally found their forever homes and and doing amazing!
