HOORAY for Adoptions!!

On April 19, we were notified this precious boy was found in a box in a forest preserve and brought to a local shelter by our friends The Abandoned of Cook County- we picked him up the next day. He is perfect in every way and all things bunny. We named him Prince for the beautiful black eye markings that Hotot rabbits have.

As fate would have it, Prince's story was shared and a friend and coworker from my shelter days, shared it to Jester. You see, Jester had a Hotot bun mix, that he loved dearly and had passed away. Jester wasn't sure if he was ready for another bun, and like many, we never are, and here he was private messaging us. :)

As fate would continue to have it, April 22, there was an available spot for neuter, vax and chip that had just canceled prior to my call to make arrangements, exactly 3 weeks later, on May 13 - the absolute soonest date available for booster, Price received his final shot and approval for adoption. I met Jester 3 hours later and Prince was now home. Our fastest rabbit adoption ever.

To see them together, is to know- this was meant to be.

In the words (and emogis of Jester) "Jester kings castle welcomes Prince ReBBeL 👑 Hes royalty 🤭🤍 He'll never be abandoned again ! "

Thank you The Abandoned of Cook County and Gisselle for helping Prince ReBBel make his way to Jester.

God Speed Prince ReBBel! ❤️

Trombone went for a follow up today on his paw and hock. He has made great progress and has gained back flexibility. 2 more weeks of antibiotics and another set of xrays and then we're hopeful he will be released for adoption ❤️ thank you Dr. Grabowski!

Friday, I had the best time meeting the Junior Girl Scouts Troop 75860. These amazing animal loving girls (and their moms) were so much fun to be with! They asked great questions, shared stories and got right into playing and interacting with the adoptable guinea pigs and Miss Jasmine the bun. If that wasn't fabulous enough, they all cut and sewed a dozen cuddle cups for the MDF pigs. :)

What a great night! Thank you Susan + Simone (MDF alum adopters) for coordinating ❤️ these amazing girls are doing wonders for the community ❤️

HOORAY for Adoptions!

ALL adoptions make us happy. Seeing each pig or rabbit arrive and then move onto their forever home is worth the bad and the good in rescue. Some make us even happier due to what they overcome, and one of those particular buns is Turtle.

Lily reached out not long after Turtle arrived wanting a husbun for her girl. She patiently waited and kept in touch with him every step of the way through his check ups and progress. This precious boy healed into all things bunny and is now living his very best life <3.

God Speed Turtle! Thank you Lily for adopting. And thank you followers for donating towards his care!

For those who are new to our page, more background on Turtle.

One month ago Turtle arrived to us in bad shape, he came from an inexperienced owner/breeder who got him from Craigslist, wanting to create her own "bunny farm". Turtle had been improperly sexed as a female, resulting in him being placed with other males who attacked him repeatedly resulting in a number of wounds in various stages of healing. His eye and ear wounds were some of the worst we and our vet had ever seen. Somewhere in his journey prior to us, castor oil had been used and was on his fur without reason. We were provided photos of the environment he came from, and it was unacceptable. Not to mention, he was neglected, and required veterinary care long before he made his way to us and received it.

Please, please, adopt don't shop when you can.

Yesterday was a blessing for this little guy. He was seen by 2 people in the neighborhood where he was abandoned. Luckily, his finder has pig experience until he was brought to us. Thank you Macy for coordinating. His finder has a son who named him "Chowder", we like that too.

Welcome Chowder, we promise to find you your forever home.

Thank you everyone who have kept good thoughts for

Thank you everyone who have kept good thoughts for Clara and donated for her care.

She is here with us resting comfortably. Her bloodwork is pretty good, her teeth not so good- many missing, she has an inguinal hernia and no spay scar. She also has a grade 5 heart murmur that has caused her to collapse in past thankfully has begun heart medications. Today, she is coming along with the crew to see Dr. Weaver for a acupuncture and chiropractic session as we are hoping that will bring her some relief too.

Scott, myself and the crew love her already. We are keeping her here and are treating her as hospice.

Big thanks Lisa for reaching out, collecting her and temp foster the first night, and to Dr Vandermyde and team at Coyne Veterinary Center - St. John for seeing her immediately and providing her amazing, compassionate care.

I will say it again and again, we are so grateful for our village <3

Friends, we are asking for your help.

We.wwre asked to help this 12 yr old dog. Her owner went to a dementia ward, and her daughter had no idea she had the dog and surrendered her to a local shelter

She is having a hard time standing as you can see and is dealing with missing and rotted teeth, cloudy eyes, a lump in her mammary chain, and we have concerns about her heart. And will x-ray if needed.

Many of these issues go hand in hand with older senior dogs. When ignored or unable to afford care, we have to triage which issue to address first. She is headed to the vet as I type. We named her Clara.

If you would like to help with Clara's medical bills, we would be so grateful, no amout is too small, ever.
She is a friendly and sweet little dog.

UPDATE on Trombone.

The X-rays showed the bone density is fine and not eroded, however there is a tremendous amount of bone reaction, meaning the abscess has been present for 3 to 4 weeks and very inflamed and forming bone spicules on the surface of the bone. We are waiting for a culture that was sent out as it was a deep infection. He is on Baytril (antibiotic) and Meloxicam (pain) and requires daily changing. He may wind up with a fused joint, meaning, it cannot bend up and down. Our goal right now is getting the infection fought as the infection is so deep. The prognosis at the moment is guarded as we don’t know if we can get the infection out of the joint. Please keep those healing thoughts around him.

HOORAY for Adoptions!!

After being in foster home for 2.5 months and the great care from our friends at Chicago Exotics, we are THRILLED to share, Sandwich is living her best life with MDF neutered alum Dunkin and family. Her mom, Alicia is a hospice nurse and is keeping watchful eye of Sandwich health. a perfect match! Thank you Jessica for fostering.

Miss Loonie was surrendered to our friends at ACS as a group of 18 pigs. 3 days after arriving to us, she gave birth to 4 amazing pups. She bonded well to her daughter Lily. Thank you to Greg and family for adopting this precious pair, and thank you Lisa and family for adopting.

Leo, Geronimo and Carmelo were surrendered to us due to too many and moving. Leo, is now living his best life with MDF alum Tonya and family. The have a great group of pigs! While he prefers being a singleton, he still has companionship of others. Thank you Ashley (new foster, whoop!) and Tonya for adopting.

God Speed Sweethearts! <3

Friends, Trombone could sure benefit from your hea

Friends, Trombone could sure benefit from your healing thoughts and prayers. He has a nasty abscess on his left foot from being bit in the joint. It was full of pus and inflammation and has been surgically drained. We are concerned it could be in the bone and need to take an X-ray to make sure the bone isn't deteriorating, if so, he runs the risk of losing his foot.

Many from this group of rabbits have sustained terrible injuries, and despite all of it, they are sweet, gentle and kind.

Thank you for holding Trombone in healing space. Our goal is to make sure he gets his very best life.
