      WHICH MEANS IT’S TIME FOR WPBF 25 TO THE RESCUE. I’M HERE WITH SARAH FISHER FROM THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE TREASURE COAST WITH A DOG WE THINK IS THE NAME. AND OF COURSE, YOU CAN ALWAYS CHANGE THE NAME IF YOU WANT TO. BUT WE HAVE A BUNNY. I FEEL LIKE ALL THE TIME WE ALWAYS SEE. WE BRING IN A LOT OF DOGS AND CATS, BUT THERE ARE OTHER ANIMALS AT THE SHELTER. THERE’S A QR CODE ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN IF YOU’D LIKE TO GO AHEAD, AND IT’LL TAKE YOU RIGHT TO THE WEBSITE TO LEARN MORE. BUT TELL US ABOUT THIS BUNNY. HE IS AN ADULT MALE BUNNY. BUNNY FOUND AS A STRAY, BUT HE DEFINITELY WAS SOMEBODY’S PET BECAUSE HE WAS SO WELL SOCIALIZED. HE LOVES TO CUDDLE. HE WILL JUMP UP ON THE COUCH WITH YOU JUST TO SNUGGLE WITH YOU. HE LOVES TO EXPLORE. HE LOVES A LOT OF SPACE TO RUN, AND HE LOVES HIS VEGGIES. ALTHOUGH TODAY I THINK WE’RE TRYING CAMERA SHY. YEAH, NOBODY LIKES TO EAT ON CAMERA. I GET IT, I GET IT, AND SO IS IS THIS TYPE OF BUNNY WITH LIKE THE RED EYE OR THE PINK EYES? IS IT RARE? NOT SO RARE IN BUNNIES. HE’S AN ALBINO BUNNY. THAT’S THE WAY HE LOOKS. AND WHICH MEANS HE’S, LIKE, SENSITIVE TO LIGHT. BUT I DO SEE A LOT WITH BUNNIES THAT THERE’S A LOT OF ALBINOS. OKAY. AND SO I REMEMBER. WAS IT LAST WEEK THAT YOU HAD ONYX ON THE SHOW? WHO WAS WHO WAS JUST HAVING A GREAT TIME. AND ONYX GOT ADOPTED? YES. HE WAS SUCH A PARTY ANIMAL LAST TIME. IT WAS SO FUNNY. I LOVE THAT THERE. DO YOU GUYS REMEMBER ONYX? OH SO HAPPY. FOUND A FOREVER HOME. THAT’S FANTASTIC. SO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT CARE AND MAINTENANCE. IF YOU DO THINK MAYBE A BUNNY MIGHT BE BEST FOR YOUR HOUSEHOLD. YEAH, IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT BUNNIES ARE VERY CURIOUS CREATURES. SO, YOU KNOW, THE THE TYPICAL CRATES THAT YOU SEE MAYBE AT THE PET STORES AREN’T IDEAL. I WOULD ALWAYS RECOMMEND, LIKE A BIG, YOU KNOW, TALL X PEN WHERE THEY CAN REALLY STRETCH OUT AND RUN WAS IN FOSTER, SO HE ACTUALLY GOT TO ROAM THE HOUSE. OH, WOW. AS LONG AS YOU BUNNY PROOF IT. BUT THEY EAT LIKE 80% OF THEIR DIET IS HAY, SO THEY’RE ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE HAY. THEY ALWAYS LIKE ENRICHMENT ITEMS, A LITTLE BIT OF FRESH GREENS EVERY DAY. SUPER HEALTHY FOR THEM. ALL RIGHT. SOUNDS GOOD. DO YOU KNOW HOW OLD HE IS? WE’RE NOT SURE THE EXACT AGE SINCE HE CAME IN ASTRAY, BUT WE THINK A YOUNG ADULT. YOUNG ADULT. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. AND DO BUNNIES USUALLY DO OKAY WITH LIKE, FAMILIES OR OTHER PETS? JUST DEPENDS. YEAH. YOU KNOW, USUALLY THEY’RE FINE. IT DEPENDS ON THE PET THOUGH. AT THE HOME, RIDDOCH WAS IN A FOSTER HOME WITH A LARGE BREED DOG, AND THEY CUDDLED UP AND SLEPT TOGETHER. WELL, THERE YOU GO. THAT’S ADORABLE. AS LONG AS SOMEONE’S DOG YOU THINK WOULD BE OKAY AND YOU’RE VERY CAREFUL WITH INTRODUCING THEM, IT SHOULD BE FINE. YOU GUYS HAVE SOME CELEBRATING GOING ON WITH THE HUMANE SOCIETY TURNING 70 AND YOU’RE THROWING QUITE THE PARTY. YES, WE HAVE A BIRTHDAY PARTY. PARTY. AND THAT’S ON MAY 17TH. OUR SHELTER WAS FOUNDED ON MAY 17TH, 1955. WOW. SO IT’S A REALLY BIG DAY FOR US. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A COFFEE TRUCK, A TACO TRUCK. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE CUPCAKES, LOTS OF ADOPTION SPECIALS. SO IT’S GOING TO BE A REALLY FUN DAY. IF ANYONE WANTS TO COME OUT. OH MAN, I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW JUST THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS THAT YOU HAVE SAVED AND HELPED TO PUT SMILES ON PEOPLE’S FACES BECAUSE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. A LONG TIME. WELL THAT’S AWESOME. SO CONGRATULATIONS. HAPPY 70TH. THAT’S A BIG DEAL. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADOPT THIS SWEET BUNNY YOU CAN JUST GO TO THEIR WEBSITE WPBF.COM. WE PUT A LINK TO THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE TREASURE COAST THERE. MAKE IT EASY FOR YOU. AL
