Bananas for Bunnies? Why Not Rescue One?

By Dana Lin

Bananas for Bunnies Rabbit Rescue will be sponsoring an adoption event on Sunday, Dec. 11 at located at 3385 Castro Valley Blvd.

Former Fairmont Animal Shelter rabbits and others from around the Bay Area will be available for adoption from noon to 4 p.m.

After local , Bananas for Bunnies has been providing a foster home for its rabbits until new owners are found.

“Rabbits are full of joy,” said Karen Johanson, who runs the rescue. “They bring laughter and love into the household with their affectionate and fun-loving nature. There’s nothing better than being kissed by a bunny.”

Onsite rabbits at the adoption event will include one-year-old Memphis Belle and two-year-old Avalanche, both fixed.

“Memphis Belle has a loving and gentle personality. A bit shy at first, she warms up quickly and will soon be challenging you to a game of tag,” said Johanson. “Avalanche is mellow and fun-loving, almost more dog than rabbit.”

Johanson welcomes other house rabbits to the adoption event for dates with prospective loved ones.
