: Nutmeg is home. 🧡

Last winter, Nutmeg was found in a ditch on a freezing cold day, sitting in cold water with nowhere warm to hide and no one by her side.

Her story could have ended there, but instead, it became the beginning of something so much better.

Nutmeg was brought into safety, wrapped in care, and given the chance every bunny deserves. She learned what it felt like to be warm, to be loved, and to have people rooting for her.

And now, Nutmeg has everything we could have hoped for her.

She has a family who loves her dearly, a cozy home to call her own, and a husbun to share her days with. She will never again have to sit alone in the cold wondering if anyone is coming. She will never have to search for shelter or wait for warmth.

Now her winter days will be spent snuggled beside her husbun, stretched out in comfort, and surrounded by the love she always deserved.

Happy forever, sweet Nutmeg. You are finally, completely home.

Blanquita would like to make one thing very clear at breakfast time: this bowl is hers.

That little paw on the bowl? That is her official "no sharing allowed" policy.

Somebunny takes her breakfast very seriously.

Did we mention that a huge thank you is in order?

We are so grateful to Sherwin-Williams on 21910 West Rd, Cypress, TX 77433 and their manager, Jessica Hilligiest
, for their incredibly generous donation of paint to help us bring the HRR Center to life.

Their kindness is now part of the walls of this space, and that feels pretty special. They even created a custom color just for us and named it Minty Bunny Tails, which might be the most HRR thing to ever happen.

The HRR Center is coming together because of people and businesses who believe in this work and want to be part of building something better for Houston’s bunnies. Every donated supply, every helping hand, and every thoughtful detail is helping turn this space into a welcoming place for bunny parents, future adopters, volunteers, and, of course, the buns.

We cannot wait for you to see it all up close. In the meantime, please help us show some love to the businesses helping make the HRR Center possible.

Atlas update 🐰

When Atlas first came to us, his body told the story before we even had the chance to. He had been abandoned in a hotel room for days with no care, no comfort, and no one coming back for him. By the time he was picked up, he weighed only 1.5 pounds.

You could see every bone in his body. His spine and hips pressed through his fur, he was severely dehydrated, covered in urine, and so weak that even using the restroom caused him pain.

We remember being terrified to even refeed him too quickly because we were worried about refeeding syndrome.

And now? Atlas weighs 3.5 pounds.

He has officially gained 2 whole pounds since coming into rescue, and watching that transformation has felt unreal. The bunny who once barely had the strength to move is now full of energy, curiosity, and opinions. He explores, zooms around, asks for snacks, and reminds us every single day why rescue matters.

There is something incredibly emotional about watching an animal go from simply trying to survive… to finally feeling safe enough to live.

Atlas still has some weight to gain, but seeing him today compared to the bunny who first came through our doors feels like night and day. We are so proud of him, so grateful to his foster, and so thankful to everyone who has supported his care along the way.

This is what second chances can look like. 💛
