Magic Happens Rabbit Rescue

Magic Happens isn’t a traditional shelter or pet store operation. This is a breed-​specific rescue that focuses on all the cutest little wabbits! (And a few other small friends like guinea pigs!)
Run by a woman named Wendy, the bunnies of Magic Happens are pampered and primped in foster homes all over the southern Louisiana area. When a prospective adopter pages through the
listings to find their perfect little bun, Wendy is quick to invite them out to meet their prospective pet. Most email communication occurs in the evenings because Magic Happens isn’t Wendy’s primary job, but she treats all the bunnies (and other small things) like they are her #1 priority.
A word, if I may, about bunnies as pets: Rabbits are quirky, intelligent animals that need more than a small hutch in the backyard. They’re smart enough to litter train, and they’re long-​lived enough to rival cats. In fact, rabbits are a lot like cats in terms of intelligence, interest in their surroundings, and life-​span. Rabbits aren’t «just a few years» pets, and neither are cats. Both are worthwhile investments, and both animals can add so much to the family. Want the cutest wake-​up ever? Bunny. Sitting on your chest. Back to the review…
Our family needed one more guinea pig to be complete, and Wendy was patient as we chatted about personalities and care histories. (Hot tip: guinea pigs are herd animals! Get your pig a same-​sex or neutered friend.) We emailed for three weeks, and twice rides were arranged between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. (One of the pigs was mis-​sexed and not a girl, as promised. Hot tip: NEVER TRUST THE PET STORE EMPLOYEE. VERIFY THE SEX OF YOUR ANIMAL.)
Wendy and all the folks at Magic Happens are committed to making sure the animal that comes into your life is a forever pet, perfectly matched to your family and your needs. One of the biggest perks of adopting from a rescue is that the animal is already known, and Magic Happens is no exception. Want a snuggler? Yep. Or a loner? Yep. Exactly.
