September's bun of the month is Chip! Chip is a sweet boy who
comes to the edge of his cage for attention. Start stroking his
cheeks and he settles right down for a nice bunny massage! He was
born on April 21 in one of our foster homes after a bun we rescued
happened to be very pregnant. Chip is quite playful and will run
around doing binkies inside his cage. His fur is very soft and
you will enjoy petting him. He has distinctive ears because one ear
is missing the very tip. Chip was recently neutered and his litter
box habits are improving. Chip, along with his siblings Ziggy,
Griffin and Buttercup, are all waiting to be placed in their
forever homes! (Brother Quagmire was adopted!)

About a month ago, a little himalayan came into our rescue. She was
found by Animal Control in the middle of the road and had a severely
broken leg. North Shore Animal Hospital agreed to try and mend her leg
if we took her in. We did and are hopeful that she is on the mend.
More surgery is planned for Buggy in the upcoming weeks, as the pin
still has to be removed. With all of this back and forth to the vets,
surgeries and more surgery planned, the veterinary bills to save her
leg are mounting.

Like Bailey's Fund, we are hoping to raise the money to help cover
Buggy's Fund. If you can help contribute, even $5, please click on the
