𝗙𝘂𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝗳𝗳, 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗺!

💻 He's a great work from home buddy. He enjoys snacks when I do, we share big yawns and stretches to keep our bodies moving.

📺 To change up his scenery, he enjoys spending time in his living room quarters where he chews on his hay and enjoys a bunny program or a binge worthy Netflix show with us on the TV. 

🛎 When Fluffy hears my voice and needs my attention he loudly throws his bell ball around and when i go to say hello he always runs up and greets me. 

🥗 Fluffy really likes different foods but some are better than other. He’s love his greens and on occasion blueberries and apples are his favorite. 

🚽 Fluffy is 100% potty trained (litterbox) so it makes clean up easy. 

🎉 Rabbits are mostly nocturnal so if you hear something in the night, he’s just partying! 

🐇 Fluffy eats right out of my hand! And never runs away when i pet him. He loves his cheeks scratched. 

📱Call AWS at (207) 985-3244 to arrange a time to meet and adopt this great bunny!
The weather might be cold and dreary but that doesn't stop happy-go-lucky Rip. He's always ready for an outdoor adventure, rain or shine! How is your pet spending this rainy day?
