Adopt a Shelter Rabbit or Learn to Care for Your Own Rabbit(s) 
Summer Time heat is a killer!! Any temperatures over 80 degrees can kill your bunny, and Southern California is reaching record highs!! Please read our tips on keeping your bunny cool here. And Please think about the Shelter bunnies, who have no A/C and are stuck outside!! Let's get them into homes! Pooka (pic) was dumped as a little baby at the shelter and on July 22nd, he succumed to the heat. Bunnies are NOT outdoor animals. Read his memorial page here. THANK YOU PETCO! This heat wave is wreaking havoc on shelter animals and our shelter bunnies are not doing well at all. We have been able to accomodate many, but we needed more enclosures to get more of the bunnies to safety. PetCo stepped right up to the bat with an emergency donation of x-pens and we can't thank them enough! Thanks to Paul, Sharon and Maryann for making it happen! You are helping us save more lives! Rabbit Fur is Funky and in Fashion? Say What? All across the country, indeed all across the fashion world, rabbit fur is making a comeback. Nearly every clothes store and clothes catalog seems to have rabbit fur coats or rabbit fur accessories, and on Oct. 11th NEWSWEEK ran an article titled "Fur is Fun Again." Fun for whom? Please...It's
My Fur! Zooh Corner is dead set against fur as fashion. We strongly believe that the only place rabbit fur belongs is on the rabbit! We encourage all animal lovers to contact the stores and companies who sell rabbit fur items and ask them to stop. We frequently hear people say "No one has the right to tell me what to do. It's called freedom" Fine. But we say "Just because you CAN do something, it doesn't mean you SHOULD. That's called 'morals.'" To learn more about the fur industry and what you can do to help the animals involved, check out these sites: http://mysite.verizon.net/vze27h5b/id43.html From us - on behalf of the bunnies and other suffering creatures - THANK YOU! Can you Help These Rabbits? Zooh Corner desperately needs your financial support. Even a small donation helps and is very much appreciated. Please keep reading to learn about just two special rabbits who need your financial support. Sophie We scooped up Sophie and took her to the vet right away. She had the abscess surgery, the tooth was removed and antibiotic-impregnated beads were implanted at the abscess site. She began eating right away after the surgery, almost as soon as she awakened, but because the abscess had been brewing for so long (how long we have no idea) she had about 10 days of GI stasis-related problems and was on all sorts of meds to keep her eating and defecating. We are pleased to report that Sophie is now off all meds except the Durapen, which she will be on for 6 more weeks in the hopes that we can stave of any further abscesses. She is super super friendly, is smart and craves attention, eats like crazy (begs when we walk by!) and is available for adoption at the beginning of March. Sophie's operation, in-hospital care and following medical care are costing a lot of money, most of it still owed. Can you help us out with a donation? Jack Jack needs to see a vet every few weeks to have his teeth trimmed and needs on-going medication and frequent vet visits. This is very expensive (initially in excess of 1800 dollars) and we need your help. Jack is a super sweet boy and has gained weight since he has been with us at Zooh Corner. His coat is no longer dirty and dull and his breathing no longer so labored. In short, Jack is finally getting the care any animal deserves. Now we would also like to find a special person to take him and love him and be his own personal friend. Any amount you can donate will help.You can make a donation via a secured sever at Pay Pal, by clicking on the icon below. Shelter Rabbits Need Your Help! One of the shelters we work with recently had a dump of 11 rabbits. With no available single-space cages left, the rabbits were put in the “farm” area. Unfortunately, the rabbits are in a large group of mixed genders – un-spayed and un-neutered. This is a disaster in the making and we need your help to stop it. We do need more hutches, but do not have enough space to put up as many as are needed for the rabbits, so many of the rabbits need to move out of the shelter immediately – or they will be euthanized. Click to see pictures of some of these rabbits. ALL of the females who remain must be spayed immediately, a very expensive undertaking for an already over-burdened organization. What You Can Do To Help
OR You can donate online, right now via a secured server at Paypal: UPDATE: 17 August 03 – Aside from the rabbits we were able to take out earlier this week, 2 more have been fixed and adopted and will go to their new home this week (Thanks Anne M!) We have put up shade cloth to help keep the remaining rabbits as cool as we can. There are more females than males, many of these are probably pregnant. We MUST get these girls spayed and out of the shelter. We desperately need DRIVERS to get possibly pregnant rabbits to and from the vet this week!! We need volunteers to go to the shelter once a day and make sure that these rabbits have plenty of food and water. NOTE: Zooh Corner will be holding Rabbit Volunteer Training Day at the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society - Saturday, August 30th 2-4PM. If you would like to help out or learn more, please meet us there, or email Alex to start right away! UPDATE
- Many Rabbits Soon To Die We have several more of these lovely rabbits, rex mixes, spayed, health checked, flea and mite free and ready for adoption. PLEASE - can anyone find room in their heart and home for even one more rabbit? THANK
YOU TO ALL WHO ARE HELPING US OUT! Beth A - Who donated a hutch that once belonged to her soul-bunny, Snowball and who has been helping to drum up much needed donations: Many happy bunny flips for all your help! Cricket - For driving bunnies to and from the vet, for checking up on all the shelter buns to be sure they have food, water and shade: Bunny kisses happy hops! Beth P - Who *always* generously donates to help Zooh Corner Rabbits; who has offered to give time at the shelter helping to care for the rabbits, as well as doing vet pick-ups and spay recuperations at her home (and who has taken darling Ozzie into her home in his arthritic Golden Years!): More bunny kisses and happy dances! To EVERYONE who has donated to the Zooh Corner Emergency Shelter Rabbit Fund - donated supplies or helped us in any way: Hops and kisses and flips from all the rescued rabbits - to you and yours. UPDATE:
12 RABBITS SAVED FROM DEATH BY MULTI RESCUE COOPERATION!!! It was the 11th hour for 12 of the rabbits at the shelter and Carrie and I (Alex) were a wreck. We'd been working days and days, hours on end to find placement for 16 rabbits, who were due to be euthanized, at the already rabbit-packed San Gabriel Valley Humane Society. But the shelters and rescues in Southern California are all just overwhelmed with rabbits - more-so than we have ever been! What to do? We continued getting all the females spayed (only one mamma beat us to the punchline and gave birth to 4 darling kits, pics coming soon) and making sure everyone got medical attention, as needed. We made phone calls, put up fliers, sent out pleas, but everyone is so full... Enter Heather of Rabbit Haven and Lori Albee from the Monterey Peninsula House Rabbit Society. OUR HEROS!! Heather worked a miracle and found enough folks to take twelve (count them 1, 2, 3, 4, 5......12!) rabbits out of the shelter and away from sure death. Isn't that amazing? So, on Tuesday, Carrie and I loaded 12 rabbits into 9 carriers, Lori rented a van through Monterey HRS (thank you Susan!) and we all hit the road for San Luis Obispo, our agreed upon meeting place. What an exciting day! We met up in a shady parking lot and made the rabbit exchange, letting each bun out to stretch his or her legs before the second leg of a long journey to safety. We gathered a bit of a crowd! Check out the bunny pics here for more info on seeing and adopting one of these rabbits.
We would like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to the wonderful folks from Rabbit Haven and Monterey HRS. We can't say it often enough: You are all wonderful, amazing and compassionate friends! In a world full of people who throw away their 'pets' as a matter of convenience, you have helped prove once again what amazing creatures we humans can be if we just show a little compassion and work together. To See, Meet, Adopt or learn more about these rabbits, contact one of the following:
And a big huge THANK YOU to Carrie - I couldn't do this without you!! Help

One
day, a Playboy Playmate's Rich But Not-So-Famous roommate went off
on an extended trip to Europe. The next day, Ms. Playmate heard
a scuffling noise in the Rich Roomie's bedroom. She went in to investigate
and discovered two adorable baby bunnies left in a box with no food
or water! Ms. Roomie never even bothered to let anyone know they
were there. Thank goodness our Playmate friend was a kind person
and knew they needed good care! Through a mutual friend she made
sure the rabbits were taken to safety. Click
