Adopt This Bunny: Poppy [Video/Pictures]

The Montclair Township Animal Shelter has a plethora of dogs and cats ready for adoption.

Looking for a fluffier alternative to a kitten or an animal that doesn't bark when someone knocks at the door? Then look no further.

Poppy is a young, adorable, fleecy Flemish giant mix rabbit that is up for adoption at the Montclair Township Animal Shelter. Grey with long, black-tipped ears, this domestic rabbit is also spayed and ready for a permanent home. 

Poppy is social, gentle, loves to get pet and play with her toys. Rabbits are typically low maintenance, and Poppy is well on her way to being litter-box trained.
