Sophia

When her family decided they were unable to care for her, Sophia was left at an animal shelter in California. Like so many other unfortunate rabbits in the country, she was cast aside when her "owners" decided they did not want her anymore. Having been alerted to Sophia's plight, an organization called the House Rabbit Society intervened and contacted Farm Sanctuary.

We were overjoyed to be able to help little Sophia and welcomed her with open arms. She arrived at our California Shelter in an excitable mood, eager for compassion and comfort. When we opened the door to her carrier, she bounded out happily into the warm, clean straw of our rabbit barn. Wasting no time making friends and exploring her beautiful new home, Sophia seemed to know that she had come to a very special place.

Sophia is now a member of our Farm Sanctuary family. She is very popular with her new rabbit friends and loves to run feverishly around the barn with them or burrow in the straw. When she is not playing with her new pals, Sophia spends her time munching on tasty, fresh veggies and taking naps in the sun. Here at our California Shelter, surrounded by friends and caregivers who love her, Sophia has not a care in the world. She knows now that she will never be abandoned again.
