Yuki (A1101608) "Yuki is an extremely charming and inquisitive bunny who follows her foster mom around the apartment and wants to be involved in all daily activities, including typing at the laptop and unpacking groceries," notes a volunteer. "Wherever you go, there's Yuki, giving you nose bonks, tugging at you pant leg or flopped at your feet with her legs stretched out behind her.

"Yuki will thrive in a home where she can be the center of attention and has space and enrichment to expend her youthful energy and stimulate her intellectual curiosity. She will need plenty of rugs for traction so that she can show off her 'Bunny 500s' and binkies." Meet Yuki at ACC's Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Boulevard.
