Meet The Bunnies
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.

Harry
Breed: Angora
Loves: "nanners"!
Naughty: likes the "spicy hay" (phone and computer cords)
Nice: gives bunny kisses at bedtime
Harry was offered to Bunny Blessings when his previous owner could no longer keep him. He is a beautiful Angora rabbit but Angoras need lots of extra care and grooming. Thankfully, Harry stays with our volunteer, Rita who does an excellent job caring for this high maintenance fella and keeps him looking his furry best!

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 husbun, Linus and even happier stealing his 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!

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.

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.

Beatrix
Breed: Dutch
Loves: Buster!
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
Beatrix came to us from Wayward Rabbits Rescue after being abandoned outside with her siblings. They rescued her and cared for her through their foster home program. Beatrix quickly bonded with our handsome Buster who unexpectedly lost his bonded mate a few months earlier. Buster is now "binkying" again and Beatrix is happy with her new "husbun" and forever home. We adore a good love story!

Linus
Breed: Lionhead Loves: Head rubs and his girl, Lucy Lou! Naughty: he leaves all the naughtiness up to Lucy Nice: despite a rough early life, he’s super sweet and loving Linus, formally known as Tater, came to us from our friends at Hoppy Hearts SC after he was found roaming in a yard in South Carolina. They provided a wonderful foster home for him and he thrived in their care. After a few months Linus came to the Bunny Barn to find a bunny friend and settled on being Lucy’s "husbun". Linus is one of the sweetest buns we’ve ever met and we adore him! |
Honeybun
Breed: Rhilander mix
Loves: watching the other bunnies
Naughty: sometimes isn’t nice watching the other bunnies
Nice: takes good care of her home
Honey Bun was abandoned when her owners moved away and left her to fend for herself. Some kind neighbors caught her and unexpectedly brought her to us. Lucky for Honey Bun we had compassion and kept her. She is now loved and safe and does very well sharing love on visits.

Bluebell
Breed: Jersey wooly mix
Loves: being social
Naughty: all in at meal time and her face shows it!
Nice: a super sweet and friendly girl
Bluebell was found locally wandering around outside. A family tried to find her owners, but had no luck so they took her in and named her Blue because she has beautiful blue eyes. The family kindly kept and loved her for over a year, but they already had two pet bunnies and hadn’t planned for a third. After meeting Blue, we fell in love with her gorgeous blue eyes and sweet disposition and figured, what’s one more? We decided such a pretty bunny needed a prettier name, so she was named Bluebell after the flowers. Bluebell is a delight at visits and we are happy to have her!

Rosie
Breed: Netherland Dwarf
Loves: her maze box
Naughty: fast as lightning when she doesn't want to be caught
Nice: tucks right under your neck for sweet snuggles
Rosie was listed as a courtesy post through Triangle Rabbit Rescue and we just couldn’t scroll past her. Her adorable face and likeness to our previous bunny Charlie made us stop and make the phone call. Her family was having allergy problems and unable to keep her, so we made a little drive to bring Rosie home. She is still very young and is full of energy so she's super fun to watch! She loves to play and race around and try new foods. We are thrilled to have Rosie with us!

Widget
Breed: Part Dutch Loves: the house that belongs to Bluebell Naughty: won't come out of the house that belongs to Bluebell Nice: he started licking Bluebell the first time they met and she had waited a long time for love Widget was an unexpected new friend for the Bunny Barn! Widget was not one of the original bunnies we intended to try for speed dating but he came along with some other bunnies for their dating since he was already with them. It's a good thing too, because he and our Bluebell almost immediately fell in love! Widget was an owner surrender and needed some TLC when he was taken in by Wayward Rabbits rescue. Our Bluebell had settled in at the Bunny Barn and wanted a friend and she found a great one in Widget. Bunny love is the best! |

Milo
Breed: Fuzzy Dutch Loves: attention Naughty: thumps when you stop giving him attention Nice: is very patient with Molly when she is too bossy (and messy) We adopted Milo from Wayward Rabbits in SC in August 2024 after they rescued him from being dumped outside. Wayward Rabbits and the foster home did an excellent job caring for him and he soon came to us for a speed dating session in which he showed some promise with our Molly. His name at the time was Blue because of his gorgeous blue eyes, but since we already had a Bluebell, we named him Milo. Milo and Molly are super happy together and we are super happy to have this gorgeous, sweet bun! |

Oliver
Breed: Mixed Lop Loves: everything and everybody, so friendly! Naughty: likes to climb out of his home and explore, earning him the nickname Houdini! Nice: has been very patient with Honeybun slowly warming up to him Oliver was found roaming a front yard on a cold, wet day in Nov. 2024. We were contacted, and because he so resembles our original mascot bunny Oscar, we couldn't say no. Plus his friendly personality was impossible to resist! Oliver has quickly become a favorite in the Bunny Barn and has also fallen in love with our girl Honeybun who had been single for a year. They are super cute together and we adore them! |
