When people hear about the Seattle Animal Shelter, their first thoughts probably go to dogs and cats being rescued from the streets of Seattle. There’s more to the shelter than that, though! Critters like guinea pigs and birds are also cared for by the SAS team. Like cats and dogs, critters can also present socialization and behavioral issues, so shelter staff and volunteers work with all the animals to help them feel safe. The shelter has a policy that they will not refuse any animal, which means animals like Sugar the bunny are taken in, as well.
Sugar is a beautiful black and white Dutch-mix rabbit. Her fur looks like cookies and cream, her ears stand up, and she has adorable rolls under her chin. She is currently available for adoption with the Seattle Animal Shelter. It was a surprise to learn about her age — did you know that rabbits can live more than ten years? Sugar is currently eight years old, so she’s a lovely senior bunny.
Before arriving at the Seattle Animal Shelter, it is believed that Sugar was kept in a garage. Being away from her family led to behavioral challenges, such as territorial aggression. However, SAS staff and volunteers are working on making Sugar feel safe and comforted, so that her social skills can grow. Once Sugar’s safety is reassured, she warms up to humans and allows cuddles. She may even be open to sitting in your lap!
Now, Sugar is in a foster home, but she still needs her forever home! Please contact the Seattle Animal Shelter for further inquiries about this sweet bunny!
