As one of the few shelters with a dedicated Small Animal Ward, at Humane Animal Welfare Society we always have plenty of small and furry friends up for adoption. Here are 2 of our favorite buns!
My name is Silky and I am a very elegant gentlebun (check out my video – the HAWS volunteers have clicker-trained me!). My white coat shaded with silver glistens in the light, which may be why my breed is called “Satin.” I was someone’s Easter gift that they grew tired of...can you believe that?! I am very curious and friendly…and a bit hyper-active because I don’t like to sit still. A large cage and several hours a day outside of it to have my bunny adventures is a must! And here’s a bonus: I use a litter box!
And don’t forget me, Jaxon! I am a handsome young fellow as you can see but I am also very large – I’m what is known as a “Checkered Giant” and weigh about 11 pounds. I was brought into HAWS after being found outside wandering around lost, but I am super-friendly. I can be easily excited and like activity, so I’ll need a large space to live in...actually, the perfect home for me would be an exercise pen like this! I will need to be out of my cage everyday to scamper about and explore, and I’ll really enjoy hanging out with my new family. I do love a good head rub and will lay my head on your lap for you to do so. My litter box training is going really well, too!
