Hugging a Chicken
Everyone, meet Trixie! She is a 1 year old lionhead bunny who is just starting to grow her fluff around her head. Here's her story..... as a baby, she was sold to a pet store to be resold there, but nobody wanted her because she has a leg problem. Her back leg twists outward in a odd way, and was taken to the vet by the pet store. The vet said it was not broken or sprained, and caused her no pain, it just was limp and had no feeling. So, after a month at the pet store, was given back to her old owners, and soon her old owners got way to busy and decided to give her to a new family..... which was us! We always... well, almost always, end up with unwanted, special needs pets!! And I love it.

For now, until her outdoor hutch is built, she is staying inside on our 3 season porch in a old guinea pig cage.

This picture really shows how her leg twists out when she's standing still.

She is a major love bug, loves to sit in your lap and be patted.

Luna, my Rat terrier mix has gotten used to hamsters and chickens, but rabbits? Isn't that the animal she chases outside? Its confusing to her, but i just keep saying, "Be nice to trixie Luna, she's our bunny." and she'll back away, but will watch her for several minutes, growling sometimes.

So, A.C.F. Rescue now has.... 1 dog, 5 chickens, 3 hamsters. 3 fish and a rabbit! Life is good!

Aww she is adorable!! You are so good to take in all those poor babies. I bet they are so happy they have a nice family now

Thank you, I love them all so much.... I don't get why anyone wouldn't want them. She is fitting in nicely, Luna is already loving her and Luna even sniffs her when I have Trixie on my lap! I love that dog... she accepts any animal we welcome into our home.

I want a bunny but I will never go to a pet store because so many of them don't take care of their babies and many of them (around here art least) get their babies from mills. It's terrible.
