Happily ever after

The staff, volunteers and fosters here at AWS know that each animal’s stay with us is just a small chapter in their life’s journey. While our time together is brief, the pets we care for leave lasting memories. We relish the chance to know how our alumni are doing in the next chapters of their lives. These stories and photos warm our hearts and our souls. Thank you for sharing your pet’s happily ever after with us.

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?
