SAVING LIVES, HEALING SOULS
Gone but Never Forgotten
Louisa
Louisa, the gray bunny who lived here at the sanctuary, was one of the sweetest animals you could ever meet (that was, if she wasn’t feeling too shy for visitors).
During the hot days of summer, Louisa and her bunny friend Tony spent their time in their underground bunny hutch, which stayed a cool 75 degrees, even when it was triple digits up above.
Meet Tony, AKA Lawrence Actonious Belvedere III, the sanctuary's spunky little black bunny. Tony came to Saving Grace from a high-kill shelter in the Antelope Valley. Thousands of bunnies have ended up in dangerous situations like Tony's each year.
Tony spent his days hanging out with the silky chickens and his bunny friend, Louisa.

Betty White
12/13/2020 - Last night we said good-bye to this beautiful girl, Betty White. Yesterday was a tough day.
At lunchtime, when Kathy went in to feed the bunnies and chickens lunch Betty didn't come running out as she usually did. Betty was always so cute. Whenever Kathy would go into the aviary, Betty would come running over to her, sit up, and put her little front paws together. Kathy liked to think Betty was running to greet her, but actually, it was probably that she wanted snacks.
But whatever the reason, Betty was adorable.
But yesterday she was hiding in a place she didn't normally go. But she did eat a little of her lunch. Betty was examined. It wasn't good. Although a specific diagnosis wasn't given it was thought to possibly be a neurological issue/infection. Betty was given fluids and a strong antibiotic injection. We were provided more syringes with the antibiotic to give to her once a day. We were told 'we are hoping she'll make it, but we don't know'.
As Dr. Rachael was starting to drive out, Regina (who, as always, had our backs and took care of the sanctuary as we dealt with these issues) came running out of the volunteer room and said "I think she's gone." Dr. Rachael jumped out of her truck to go see. Yes, it was true. In that short time, Betty left.
Although you were only here for just under six months, you made a huge impact on us little girl.
We are in shock and devastated.
