Late February 2021 ACHR was informed of 2 stray rabbits in a neighborhood on the NW side of town. The two Californians (Romeo and Juliet) had been strays for quite a while. The two survived taking by shelter in the neighbors’ yards, receiving handouts from neighbors, and from orange trees in the neighborhood. This sweet couple are litter trained, laid back, very affectionate and enjoy being stroked. They will eat out of your hand and will greet you at their pen. At the time of her rescue, Juliet was pregnant and had 11 babies the day after being rescued. Due to malnourishment only four of her babies survived. Juliet is a little shy but is slowly learning to trust people, it is evident Juliet was probably mistreated and neglected for most of her life. Juliet has blossomed thanks to her fosterer Julie Gierka.
