Update 6/2/09:
Corona and Sophia are now a bonded pair! They went into foster care together and can not be separated. Both of them have been with the shelter for much too long a time! In the early dawn of the morning they like to ring bells and toss around jingly cat toys to get your attention. As they are living now in a free-range play room it is unknown of how they will adapt to a cage together again, but if they have free- range in their new home, owners beware, like all rabbits, they chew. The probable reason of why they have been overlooked is because they tend to have a ‘live their own lives’ personality and their future human companions will need to be understanding about their independence, especially Sophia. Don’t think that they don’t need love and attention, because all bunnies do! They just need someone to respect their space while spending time with them and not feel insulted if they ignore you. They’ll be slow to warm up to you. They are litterbox trained and their foster Mom is getting them use to being in harnesses to go for walks outside. Corona is the more sociable bun but he’ll let you know when enough is enough. He loves being petted on his head and getting back scratches too! Most rabbits don’t like to be picked up because that means all four feet are off the ground and that makes them very nervous and Sophia especially doesn’t like it. They really love each other and need to be together, they love laying out side by side. A home with teenagers or older is the best situation for these guys. They are afraid of dogs but that doesn’t mean a docile dog wouldn’t make a good match. If you think you can love and respect these animals for who they are please contact the Animal Refuge League to schedule an appointment to meet this pair of sovereign royalty!

Sophia was surrendered to the Animal Refuge League on August 7, 2008 with Ringo and another rabbit named Isabel. These bunnies were originally purchased for three children for Easter. To their dismay, Ringo is a boy! Isabel and Sophia were pregnant. Sophia gave birth to her kittens on August 12 and has been in foster since the kits could leave the nest. Sophia is now spayed and ready for her forever home, where she will be a real member of the family. While in foster, Sophia enjoyed being out of her cage and would lay down on the floor, stretching her entire body out as much as she could. She lived with cats and dogs in foster, and is not afraid of the vacuum cleaner! Can you find it in your heart to finally give this wonderful girl the life she deserves? If so, come see her at the ARL!
