Meet The Bunnies
Millie
Breed: Hotot
Loves: raspberries and baby carrots
Naughty: doesn't share the bunny castle
Nice: she's our beautiful & adorable diva
Millie came to us from Craigslist when her owner needed to re-home her. She is the princess of her castle and seems to not recognize she is a bunny like the rest. Millie is a little Diva who is a bit shy if she doesn't know you but when she warms up, she enjoys head and ear rubs. With her beautiful blue eyes ringed in black, Millie will convince you she's a princess too!

Willie
Breed: Holland Lop
Loves: kale and his bond-mate, Poppy
Naughty: follows mischievous Poppy into trouble
Nice: has super patience and is sweet at visits
Willie was adopted from Brother Wolf Animal Rescue in Asheville, NC. We knew immediately we had found a wonderfully sweet bunny for our visits. Willie loves sitting in his pet bed during visits for cuddles, but then is always happy to be reunited with his buddy, Poppy. Willie and Poppy enjoy snuggling together and grooming each other. We are happy to have them so in love!

Poppy
Breed: Lionhead mix
Loves: her "husbun", Willie and romaine lettuce, cilantro, kale, carrots, strawberries, raspberries, peppers....
Naughty: steals Willie's treats, destroys their cardboard homes and ends up with cardboard pieces all over her fluffy self
Nice: cute enough to get way with it all
Poppy was adopted from Charlotte Mecklenburg Animal Shelter. We decided to name her after a flower since she was found abandoned in a field. Poppy is often referred to as "the big fluffy one" and has certainly gained a little weight since we adopted her. We think she sneaks Willie's food to help keep up her gorgeous fluffy appearance.

Leo
Breed: Lionhead
Loves: everyone and being the center of attention
Naughty: chews on shoelaces if you stop petting him
Nice: always happy to see you
Happy Leo was not surprisingly found roaming soccer fields in Charlotte and brought to Carolina Waterfowl Rescue. We are sure he was searching for some people to play with him! While we were building our Bunny Barn, Leo stayed with our volunteer Dianne and quickly won the hearts of her and her husband, Mike. Leo now lives with them and is likely the most spoiled bunny on the planet. He always is happy to travel with Dianne and all the other volunteers and bunnies to make new friends at our events.

Buster
Breed: Dutch
Loves: his taco bed
Naughty: ???
Nice: his big brown eyes make you melt
Buster also came to us from Carolina Waterfowl Rescue after he was taken in from a poor situation with lots of neglected animals. Luckily, Buster was in pretty good shape and only needed some fattening up to be healthy for adoption. He is a somewhat shy guy but likes to have his long nose scratched and slowly warms up to gentle attention. Buster is also a favorite in the Bunny Barn and at events because of his sweet demeanor.

Gracie Mae
Breed: Blue Tort English Lop
Loves: excellent bunny scratching
Naughty: thinks it's occasionally fun to make huge messes with her pine pellets for volunteers to clean up
Nice: was an awesome mama to her 9 babies
Gracie Mae is a gorgeous Blue Tort English Lop who was adopted into our program and sneakily brought along her babies. Surprise, surprise, surprise to us when she gave birth to nine wriggling pink babies about a month after she arrived. We fell in love with those precious babies, raised them carefully, had them all spayed/neutered and adopted out into loving homes. We kept one sweet baby, Lucy Lou, so that Gracie wouldn't be lonely. We are quite sure Gracie is anything but lonely with crazy Lucy Lou around! Gracie Mae is sweet as pie and loves to have her long ears petted. She been an amazing addition to our ministry!

Lucy Lou
Breed: English Lop crossed with Rhinelander
Loves: destroying cardboard boxes and anything else in her path
Naughty: how much room is on this website???
Nice: she will always be our baby
With one ear up and one ear down, our "baby", Lucy Lou is a fun-loving bundle of energy. Her fur is absolutely gorgeous with its different colors. She is happy being around her mama and even happier stealing her mama's treats. Her favorite motto is "Three for me and one for you!" Lucy seems to especially enjoy interacting with children and they love to watch her crazy antics. We are thankful for the unexpected bunny blessing that is Lucy Lou!

Molly
Breed: Netherland Dwarf
Loves: playtime zooming around the Bunny Barn
Naughty: likes to "bark" at volunteers when she doesn't get her way
Nice: tucks perfectly into your arms to be snuggled forever
Molly is a gorgeous, chubby Netherland Dwarf who found her way to our ministry when her owners had to relocate and needed a new home for her. Once we saw that adorable heart-shaped nose, we were smitten and made room for her in the Bunny Barn. Molly loves to snuggle and seemed ready to provide bunny cuddle therapy from day one!

Scruffy
Breed: Definite Mutt! Some angora and lop mix
Loves: people! people! people!
Naughty: steals bags of carrots from the fridge
Nice: loves to give and receive affection
Scruffy came to us from Hoppery Rabbit Sanctuary where he was a personal favorite but the owner knew he would be an incredible therapy bunny because he loves being around people. While we rarely say yes to accepting new bunnies, it was hard to turn him down after seeing his adorable pictures and learning about his sweet personality. So Scruffy came to live in the Bunny Barn and now steals both carrots from the fridge and the hearts of everyone he meets.

Lennon
Breed: Holland Lop
Loves: destroying cardboard houses!
Naughty: won't be still for eager volunteers to take pictures
Nice: his blue eyes are stunning
Lennon has been known by our nonprofit for a few years as some of our volunteers bunny sat him and fell in love with him.

Lennon loves being in the Bunny Barn with his new bunny friends and is happy to play with our volunteers. We hope to eventually bond him to another bunny so he has a friend! Lennon loves having his soft floppy ears scratched and getting treats. He’s living a good life in the Bunny Barn!

Naughty: doesn't cross his little mind
Nice: loves BIG! & loves to cuddle
Max is our smallest bunny and came to us in spring 2022 from a local family who wanted him to have more attention and free playtime than they were able to provide.

He and Millie have bonded nicely and can be found snuggling on their favorite rug in their favorite box!

Harley
Breed: Dutch
Loves: everybody
Naughty: being an early alarm clock
Nice: loves to cuddle & give kisses
Harley was rescued by Bunny Blessings volunteers on May 20, 2022 from the Belmont Urgent Vet. Someone found the baby bunny in a dilapidated cage with a wet towel and no food or water. The vet estimates that Harley was about 4 weeks old. Our volunteer brought Harley to the Bunny Barn where he was loved and cared for. Another volunteer fell ears over paws in love and bun-napped Harley to her home where he continues to live the good life. He loves to give kisses and snuggle. He also loves to do zoomies, binkies and crash loudly into things at about 5:30 am each morning. He loves to shop for greens at Aldi, to attend events and share cuddles and kisses with anyone who will hold him! In spite of his tough beginning, he has become a loving addition to the ministry!

Sherlock
Breed: Lionhead
Loves: his brother Watson
Naughty: pulls A LOT of hay into the liter box instead of just eating it!
Nice: enjoys being with his brother
Sherlock and his brother Watson came to us from our friends at Carolina Waterfowl Rescue. They were saved from a hoarding situation and taken in by a wonderful foster family. Their foster mom says they were very scared when they first arrived but her and her family worked diligently with them to become more social and adoptable. We originally were sharing their posts and trying to help get them adopted, but we finally realized we wanted them for ourselves! These boys are super sweet and love attention. We are so thankful for all the people who pour themselves into situations like this to create such happy endings.

Naughty: likes to thump if she doesn't approve of what's happening
Nice: swooped in to be Buster's new love and made him happy again

We adore a good love story!
