RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — The Richmond Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) has some new floppy-eared residents up for adoption following a large out-of-state rescue.
The Humane Society of the United States released an emotional video on Wednesday of a Tennessee man with over a hundred bunnies in poor condition. He reached out to the Humane Society for help and, alongside several other shelters , the Richmond SPCA stepped in to nurse them back to health.
Beatrix, Cutesy, Ribbon and the only male rabbit, Thumper, are making Richmond their new home. Three of the rabbits are over a year old and one is just under.
Video showed more than a hundred bunnies hoarded in an unclean and overcrowded home in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

But the Humane Society praised the former owner for asking for help, with officials saying they felt just as much responsibility to help him as they did the animals.
