My workspace at the internship is quite tidy. Upon entering through the front door, you will find a nice little store filled with bunny-related items. Welcome to the Bunny Store! Occasionally, a fluffy bun named Snickers will be wandering around the room greeting people. But this store is just the gateway to the legendary rabbit sanctuary.
Going through the next door will lead you to the Adoption Center. This is where most of the SDHRS bunnies live. There are many rows of fluffy friends. Some of the bunnies live in their pens alone, while others have soulmates or partners to keep them company. On the side of the room is where the bowls, plastic igloos, hay, some blankets and towels, litter boxes, food, and lockers are located. All of the essentials are close to home for them, huh? Finally, there are some couches folks can sit on if they want to play with a rab for a bit. Get it? RAB for a BIT?
Turning left at the Adoption Center's entrance will take you to the office. This funhouse is where all the filing takes place. There's also some printers. Not really a whole lot to say about the office.
My favorite part of the day is cleaning the pens in the Adoption Center. No, not because I get to wipe up pee. Because I get to spend some time with the bunnies! Each rabbit has their own distinct personality, whether they be sweet, devious, or confused about what species they are. You're not a puppy, Sprout! My favorite one currently at the SDHRS is Zahzu. There he is!
The last location on our safari is the intake room. You can get here by going down a couple doors then heading right after you enter the adoption center. The intake room is where all the new bunnies, relinquished or found, are evaluated. There's a scale for weighing them, some pens for housing them, and some medicine for medicining them. Right now, a mama and papa bunny are being kept here so that they can have some bonding time. U a real playa, eh Din Din?
