Oreo Meets Peter

Oreo was so bonded to her sister, so she was lonely when Cookie died. I searched the internet and found a bunny adoption event sponsored by the East Bay Rabbit Rescue (EBRR) organization occurring on February 15, 2014. It was happening at the Petsmart in Dublin, which was only about an hour away from where we lived. We had to check it out and see if Oreo can find a match. 

We took Oreo with us and volunteers of the EBRR tried to place Oreo with one, then a second male bunny. The adoption event was closing at three o'clock but we still didn't find a match for Oreo. Just when we were about to give up, they put Oreo in Hank's cage and he immediately started grooming her head. It was love at first sight for Hank, the white bunny.

We took them both home and started the bonding process. We renamed Hank as Peter because my then six-year-old son loved Peter Rabbit. Within five days, Oreo and Peter were fully bonded. They've been together now for two years.
