Update from our Hollow President - Linda

Hi All: I am delighted to tell everyone we had a stellar day at the Hollow! Little Milo, the gray, head tilt bunny has left for his new home in New Jersey with a lovely family. They were so thrilled with Milo and the work we are doing they paid a double adoption fee of $150 as a thank you. Then another gal came with her bunny Peter and Peter and his human mom Emily fell in love with little, black Silky! Silky and Peter are spending a couple of nights at Brandee's getting to know each other and being bonded then they will go to their home in New Haven. We had still a third family visit who fell in love with Indiana and they want a friend for him. The family is vacationing the first two weeks of August so Indiana will be with us a while longer but they seemed pretty certain he was their choice. They are still debating who will be leaving with him as they want a bonded pair. I still have to do a reference check and get an adoption application from them but they seemed like nice folks and I think the adoption will go through fine.Thank you to Michelle & Rob who had taken Indiana home with them and done some intensive attitude adjustments on him the last couple of weeks. He is now a sweet bunny and I think will make a wonderful pet. They now have their hands full working with Thumper and Pom Pom who are a soon to be bonded pair of problem children dwarf bunnies who hopefully will learn to behave and get into the shelter soon. They are adorable but naughty!Ali - who's family has been fostering Leenie has returned Leenie to Brandees. Leenie is now spayed and will be coming down to the shelter when there is an open cage. They will be taking on another "problem" bun who needs special treatment in her place. April has recovered from her virus and is now back in the shelter. We now have a tiny Oreo look alike who joined us on Friday. For now she is called Moonbeam and she seems to be adjusting rapidly to the good life. She was caught running free in Redding and from her appearance has been running wild for a while. What a lucky bun to have survived.We currently have a have a Hav a heart trap out trying to catch a bun loose near Rt 7 in Wilton. Hopefully she will be in safety soon.Please welcome our latest Volunteer Amanda and add her to your volunteer distro lists. Amanda is only with us while on Summer vacation but she will continue to volunteer with us during her college vacations. (meemee816@aol.com) Amanda's family adopted Rain some months ago and I am hearing tales of a very happy bunny who shares a bed with her doggie friend!I know you have all read about Ivan and I just want to tell Brandee one more time how sorry I am. Brandee worked tirelessly to keep Ivan happy, clean and comfortable, making him feel loved and giving him every chance to recover. We were so completely shocked by his passing today. He has seemed to be holding his own. With these delicate creatures you just don't know. Anyway, Brandee, since Ivan couldn't ever say thank you let me say it for him. He loved you dearly and I feel privileged to have had him for a night two weeks ago. He had a dynamite personality who never gave up. I'm so glad that he had found love and got to experience some comfort before he died. Enough for now. Have a good week everyone......
