Help Bunny Heal — A Tiny Puppy’s Second Chance

Our newest save is Bunny — and she’s as small as her story is heartbreaking. At just 8–9 weeks old and weighing only 3 pounds, this tiny puppy found herself alone on a kind citizen’s front porch. Concerned for her safety, they contacted animal control, and Bunny was brought to the shelter to begin her journey toward healing.

Bunny was diagnosed with demodex mange, a skin condition caused by Demodex canis mites. Demodectic mange most often occurs in puppies who have immature immune systems, allowing the number of skin mites to increase rapidly. While it's treatable, it can become serious if a secondary bacterial infection sets in, so her rescuers are acting quickly to give her the best chance at a full recovery.

Bunny has already had a veterinary checkup and has started the medication she needs, but she's not out of the woods yet. Ongoing treatment and care come with costs, and this sweet, resilient girl still needs your support to fully recover.

Your support will go directly toward:

• Time-sensitive veterinary care and follow-ups to monitor her condition

• Medication to treat the demodex mange and prevent complications

• Nutrient-rich food to rebuild her strength as her body struggles to heal

• Basic supplies to keep her clean, comfortable, and protected during the recovery process

Bunny is just beginning her life, and she deserves to know warmth, safety, and love instead of discomfort and uncertainty. Every donation, share, and kind word helps give this tiny fighter the healthy, happy future she deserves. If you’d like to be part of Bunny’s journey, we’d be so grateful for your support. Together, we can help her heal, grow, and blossom into the playful puppy she was always meant to be.

5/3/26 Update

New rescue Bunny is still settling into her foster home, decompressing, and catching up on some much-needed beauty sleep after everything she has been through.

For such a tiny puppy, Bunny has had a lot of change in a very short amount of time — from being found alone and frightened on a stranger’s porch, to shelter intake, veterinary exams, medications, and now finally a safe place where she can simply rest. Right now, rest is exactly what her little body needs.

She is continuing her treatment for demodex mange while enjoying soft blankets, good meals, and the comfort of knowing she is no longer alone. Each day of proper nutrition, medication, and stress-free recovery helps her immune system do the hard work of healing her skin.

We are so grateful that Bunny is finally somewhere she can just be a puppy.

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, and supported her journey so far. Your kindness is giving this sweet girl the chance to recover in safety and love. We’ll continue to keep you updated as Bunny blossoms!
