My story

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

Meet Niko!

Found after being left behind when a roommate moved out, Niko arrived a bit unsure of her new surroundings but quickly began showing her gentle, curious nature. Volunteers describe her as sweet, calm, and happily accepting head rubs. Once she feels safe, she explores her space with confidence and even treats staff to cheerful binkies.



My Ideal Home

Niko would do well in a quiet, patient home where she can settle in at her own pace. A family familiar with rabbits or willing to learn about their housing, diet, and enrichment needs would be ideal. She enjoys gentle handling and will thrive in an environment where she can safely explore and interact with her people. A calm setup with cozy hiding spots and room to hop around will help her feel secure and happy.



Good with Kids?

Yes - with respectful children who understand how to handle small animals calmly and gently. Niko has been described as docile and tolerant, making her a good match for families who can give her space when she needs it and quiet affection when she's ready.



Good with Other Pets?

No direct history with other rabbits or small animals is known, but her friendly, easygoing demeanor suggests she may coexist well with another calm rabbit after a proper, slow introduction. There are no observations regarding cats or dogs; any multi-species home should introduce cautiously and ensure Niko always has safe, protected spaces of her own.



Overall Health

Healthy overall. She's active, eating well, and was noted to be in good condition during her intake exam.



Behavior Determination

Suitable for Most Adopters. Niko has consistently shown gentle, easy-to-handle behavior and appears comfortable with human interaction. Even when a bit nervous, she remains sweet and responsive, making her a good fit for adopters at all experience levels who are ready to provide appropriate rabbit care.



Other Fun Facts

• Niko LOVES head rubs and will settle right in for a quiet petting session.

• When she's happy, she does adorable little binkies during exploration time.

• Volunteers describe her as "very sweet," "docile," and "friendly"-a lovely companion for someone seeking a gentle bun.

• She enjoys being held and handled, making her a particularly easygoing rabbit to bond with.



Let this little sweetheart hop her way into your home - and your heart! 🌿🐇
