Freckles the Bunny

Do you like cats? Dogs? How about bunnies? I hope you love bunnies because a two year old male lionhead bunny called Freckles is in the animal shelter. That bunny is me. My home has been kennel No. 60689 since March 6. Know how I got here? My owners surrendered me because they didn't want me. That made me feel terribly sad. Hope you will want me and make my Easter cheerful!

Have you seen my fluffy tail? My ears? You haven't! Well, I will tell you about my appearance. The body I own is fat, chubby and big enough to make it feel like you are lifting five-pound weights. My white, black and gray fur is soft and short. The paws on my body are gold and white. If you look at my tail, you will see a gold and white stubby tip. The ears that sit on my head are spotted with peach and black. My eyes are like chocolate buttons with a magnificent black surrounding. Do you like my appearance yet? Well, if you do, wait till you hear how I act.

Bright as the sun, I will be calm and cuddly for you. Since I am used to people, I am loving and extra gentle. However, I might get skittish when you play "pass the bunny" with your family. Quick as lightening I will go to other bunnies with friendly excitement. I am a peppy bunny that cannot wait to meet you.

BTB! Buy the Bunny! If you want me to be neutered, you will need to take me to a vet. I will need nail clipping and going outside for walks. Your future bunny has not been micro chipped yet. You might want to know I fear cats. Last, but one of the most important things about me, I have an injured neck, but the cut is healing. Smaller kids need to watch out for my injury. Your Easter bunny buddy is in kennel No. 60689.
