Pearl’s Story: Paralyzed, but calls the shots

Plagued by lower body paralysis, Pearl resides in the “human” enclosure of Harvest Home Sanctuary, where we keep a watchful eye on her. She sits atop fluffy fleece blankets as she acts as chief controller of the sanctuary. She calls the shots—no questions asked.

Sadly, Pearl’s partial paralysis, which is caused by the protozoan E. cuniculi, is an irreversible condition. Despite her limited mobility, Pearl has a fierce will to live. We support her in every possible way. Our goal is to keep her life enriched with activity and engagement.

Pearl is no stranger to human snuggles, personal spa treatments (i.e. grooming) and time in front of the television set. Pearl loves to watch Lifetimes movies on a regular basis.

Miss Pearl was surrendered originally at the Fremont Animal Shelter.

Rascal’s Story: An unwanted companion, surrendered to House Rabbit Society

Rascal, an athletic English Spot and one of Harvest Home Animal Sanctuary’s original residents, was both the welcome wagon and reporter of the rabbit room for many years.

Rascal was on the beat all day, every day in search of a juicy lead story. Often times, her investigations involved a certain measure of disturbance. As a true muckraker, she chased down her interviews, stole her competitors’ information, and tripped others for good facts. In rabbit translation, Rascal loved to chase rabbits, steal food and trip the human caregivers of Harvest Home. No doubt, our girl deserves a Pulitzer Prize.

Several years later now, Rascal is in her golden years and has retired to an exclusive enclosure in the rabbit building, for older rabbits. She is living a more relaxed life, enjoying her time spent lounging and nibbling on fine hays.

Rascal was originally surrendered to House Rabbit Society in Richmond, as an unwanted companion animal. When she arrived at Harvest Home in 2006, an official sanctuary of House Rabbit Society, she was extremely sick. Rascal recovered quickly. She has enjoyed a happy and healthy life since then.
