Zip's Story

Zip is a very special bunny at Hoppy Hearts SC. He has helped to raise awareness about animal welfare laws as they relate to rabbits in our state due to his story. Zip was found in an automotive shop by a couple. They saw him with both front and back legs zip tied together in a box with no food or water. They left with the rabbit and called the police. The police said there was nothing they could do about the person doing that to Zip. However, they did tell the couple that they had to pay the person for the rabbit or they could be charged with stealing! They paid the person in order to get the rabbit to safety.<br/><br/>When Zip got to us, he was understandably very wary of people. With slow work by our wonderful foster, Zip has become very comfortable in his foster home. He likes to be petted on his terms and will ask for that when he feels like it. If you do something he does not feel comfortable with, he will lunge and grunt but has not bitten. He just expresses his opinion and prefers things to be on his terms. :) <br/><br/>We think Zip is a middle aged rabbit, though we are not sure of his exact age. He needs a home that will give him time to become comfortable with his new environment and will listen and respect his cues. We think he is owed that after everything he has been through. <br/><br/>To apply to adopt, click Apply Now at https://www.hoppyheartssc.org/adopt
