Jonah “Hops” You Will Adopt Him!

MILWAUKEE – Six-month-old Jonah knows he's special.  That's because this little Holland Lop mix rabbit was born with something most rabbits don't have – a left eye that is much smaller than the right. 

After his veterinary exam, doctors concluded that Jonah's condition was not going to be good for his health.  That's why Wisconsin Humane Society veterinarian staff stepped in to remove his eye and save him from having lots of problems later in his life.   

Although little Jonah's eye has been removed, this doesn't stop him happily hopping, cuddling and playing.  The Wisconsin Humane Society staff provided him with all of the medical support and tender loving care possible to help him recover quickly.

Despite his disability, Jonah is a social guy who likes to party.  For anyone interested in adopting a happy-go-lucky little guy, Jonah is “all ears.”

To learn more about Jonah or find out how you can adopt him, contact the Wisconsin Humane Society at (414) ANIMALS.  Additional information about the Wisconsin Humane Society can be obtained by visiting www.wihumane.org.
