Donna e Figaro passaram suas vidas em um laboratório destinado a testes e reprodução, mas encontraram um novo começo graças ao resgate realizado pela Save the Buns. Agora sob os cuidados do Woodstock Farm Sanctuary, a promessa é proporcionar-lhes uma vida onde possam finalmente ser simplesmente coelhinhos.
Ao chegar à sua nova casa, os dois melhores amigos, antes tratados de maneira impessoal, estavam inicialmente assustados e confusos. Contudo, lentamente, começaram a se adaptar ao ambiente desconhecido. Nunca tendo experimentado a grama ou o frescor do ar antes, chegou o momento em que a porta da gaiola foi aberta para que pudessem explorar o novo quintal.
@woodstocksanctuary Rescue alert 🚨 Last month we welcomed home two former lab rabbits thanks to our friends at Save the Buns! Please meet our newest rescues, Donna and Figaro. They’ve gone through a long journey to get here. Save the Buns rescued these rabbits from an animal research lab where they were going to be killed. Fortunately Save the Buns was able to step in and rescue them. ❤️ When we agreed to take them, we knew they would need vet attention and short-term boarding while we prepared for them on-site. 🐇🐇 Their boarding and vet care costs prior to arriving here was around $1981. Will you help us cover the costs of their care bills? Please help us give these two a warm Woodstock welcome! 🙂 ❤️ Donate here or on Venmo at Woodstock-Sanctuary! Welcome to a long life of safety, security, and love Donna & Figaro! We are so grateful you’re here. #whywoodstock ♬ You and Me – Eldar Kedem
Figaro, o primeiro a se aventurar, absorveu cada detalhe enquanto pulava e explorava novos cheiros. Antes de ir longe demais, voltou para encorajar Donna a acompanhá-lo. A hesitação inicial de Donna deu lugar à coragem, e juntos tiveram a experiência libertadora de pular na grama.
“Eles estavam curiosos, ansiosos para explorar [e] encorajaram-se mutuamente”, compartilhou Riki Higgins, membro da equipe do Woodstock Farm Sanctuary. O mundo antes limitado de Donna e Figaro tornou-se vasto e enriquecido, e agora desfrutam plenamente de sua nova vida juntos.
@woodstocksanctuaryICYMI: we welcomed two new buns to the sanctuary, rescued from a research lab! Watch Donna and Figaro exploring their new yard for the first time ❤️ Their journey home took time, money and planning, and we need your help covering their vet and boarding bills. Before arriving at the sanctuary, Donna and Figaro needed to see a vet. This was likely the first time they’d seen a vet, and we needed to ensure they were both healthy enough to be housed in the rabbit barn. We also had to provide short-term boarding for them while we prepared onsite. Rabbits are sensitive and social animals, and they can be very particular about their friendships. We boarded them with our friends at Reenies Rabbit Rescue to ensure they had a safe space to socialize and adjust while we prepared for them here. Please donate to their vet and boarding bills! 🐰 ❤️ For these little survivors, all the hard work is worth it — look at Donna and Figaro exploring their yard! Even though Donna and Figaro are safe, we still have to catch up on the costs we incurred getting them here. 💌 Please give today, here or on Venmo at Woodstock-Sanctuary.
Higgins relata que estão prosperando no santuário. Donna demonstra extroversão, enquanto Figaro é mais reservado. Ambos desfrutam dos momentos ao ar livre, pulando e, em seguida, se aconchegando no topo de suas casas.
Embora tenha sido uma jornada longa, Donna e Figaro agora têm tudo o que desejam, vivendo plenamente o presente sem olhar para trás.
