In memoriam of a very special rabbit and Rabbit Advocate friend, Charcoal, who passed away in September 2009
Although shy, Charcoal brought [Jake and I] both a great deal of love and truly meant the world to us. We adopted him together, but I really saw Jake develop a love for Charcoal (and eventually a love for animals). Charcoal was my first personal relationship with a bunny, and he was the reason I began working with the bunnies at the city shelter. He instigated a great deal of good in our lives and the lives of other shelter buns. Charcoal was in that classic "hard to adopt" category: black, older, shy. But for us, he was the most perfect bunny ever.
In honor of Charcoal's memory, we have started a fundraiser for Bunny Magic, a 501(c)3 shelter and sanctuary for over 150 domestic rabbits in southern Maryland. Run by and paid for almost entirely by two volunteers, Bunny Magic takes in eleventh hour rabbits from shelters in Maryland and Virginia--rabbits who would otherwise have been euthanized due to space restrictions or behavioral/medical problems. They find loving, indoor homes for these bunnies, educate the public, and provide permanent sanctuary for those who are not able to be adopted out.
We hope that in his death, as he did in his life, Charcoal will continue inspiring people to help homeless animals. Please consider donating $5, $10, $20, $50 or more-- any amount is greatly appreciated. Checks can be made out to Bunny Magic Rabbit Rescue and sent to 1309 Tongue Cove Drive, Lusby, MD 20657. Note that your donations are tax-deductible. Please email me with any questions you may have. And thank you in advance for your compassion and generosity.
Best buds: Charcoal lounging with Cipher.
