Peter

Breed: Domestic rabbit

Age: 2 years old

If eating were a professional sport, Peter would win gold. Kale happens to be his favorite, if you have some to spare. He also loves to cuddle up with his humans and relax. He would be best as the only bunny in the house so he can be the center of attention. Peter, under the care of Melissa’s Second Chances, is looking for a forever home to call his own.

To fill out an adoption application for Peter, go here. Melissa’s Second Chances is a nonprofit animal rescue in Shawnee. The group finds homes and safe refuge for animals in need of a second chance to be beloved family pets.

Wayside Waifs is able to welcome visitors without an appointment. To learn about the adoption process and available animals, go here.
