My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Joseph is a curious and spirited bunny who’s always up for an adventure. His favorite things include carrot tops, banana, fresh herbs like mint and basil, and all kinds of lettuce. He’s also a big fan of enrichment—whether it’s a ball toy stuffed with hay, puzzle feeders, or hopping up on the couch to explore, Joseph knows how to keep life interesting!

Joseph isn’t too fond of loud noises or being picked up, but he thrives when given the freedom to play and interact on his own terms. He’s talented at climbing and jumping (especially onto the couch!) and has a mischievous streak that makes him as unpredictable as strawberry sherbet—sometimes sweet, sometimes a little “sour.”

One of Joseph’s quirks is that he sleeps with his eyes slightly open, which only adds to his curious, watchful nature. His foster family loved spending time with him, whether playing, target training, or handing out his favorite treats.

If you’re interested in adopting Joseph, please email adoptions@awla.org. to arrange a meet and greet with the foster.
