Animalcouriers arranged for handsome 13-year-old hound Rigsby to fly to Northern Cyprus. He took off from Manchester in the snow, and arrived in wonderful Cypriot sunshine. His owners report that he was beside himself with joy on being reunited with them — “his whole body wagged and wagged!” said Suzanna, adding:
“Thank you again for helping us bring Rigsby over to Cyprus for his retirement. You can see from the photos how much he is enjoying his new life.”
We also organised for gorgeous young lop-eared rabbit JR to fly from the UK to Los Angeles. Just 12 weeks old, he’s already the size of a standard adult lop! That’s because he’s no ordinary baby: he’s the son of Darius, the world’s largest rabbit.
JR has gone to live with Angela, who runs The Bunny Hutch, an animal welfare and educational charity. Last year we arranged a flight for Hutch, another of Darius’s offspring, but very sadly he died just after Christmas from viral meningitis. Angela was devastated by the loss, so we hope JR will bring some comfort.
Rigsby loves playing in the sea…
…and relaxing on the sand in the sun

That Rigby is a handsome fella. Beautful bunnies and that young one needs to grow into his ears.
Rigby is enjoying his retirement! JR is going to be huge if he does grow into his ears.
Isn’t that wonderful that Rigby will have such a beautiful, warm and sunny retirement!! As for the bunny – SQUEEEE!

The perfect place for an old chap to retire to! Yup, squee 😀
Two Bunnie’z and One Dog, Oh what fun’z xxoxxxx
Mollie and Alfie
Nothing like a bit of variety!
All the better for hearing you 😉
Darius is almost as big as me. Probably a bit heavier.
Easily! Are you allowed to hop in your races? If so watch out, Darius might beat you 😉
that’s the best. to start with snow and bad weather and to land at a place full of sun and fun. Think Rigsby enjoys it as much as we humans :o)
We do find a lot of people are retiring to such places 😀
Goodness me, look at the size of Darius ! Gargantuan !
The photo of him with the little girl gives perspective – and just shows of how enormous he is!
The first photo of Rigby would make a beautiful painting.
It certainly would.
great beach photos and the bunnies are so cute.
You can see the delight on Rigsby’s face!
Oh I wuv bunnies!
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
And these ain’t no ordinary bunnies!
Retiring in Cyprus, not too shabby!
Don’t think there will be any complaints from Rigsby!
The second pic of Rigsby is fantastic! What a handsome boy. All of the pictures made me do that goofy grin thing – your posts do that and I thank you! 🙂
He’s one handsome and happy chap! Ahh, glad you got that goofy grin thing 😀
Lovely shot of Rigsby.
We are glad when owners send in photos!
Rigsby makes me smile!!! Hope J.R. helps heal a broken heart.
Think JR should do the trick.
JR is a beauty. Rabbits don’t travel well, generally speaking. Hope he recuperated quickly from his voyage. Which airline did you use to transport him?
He is a very special fellow. We’ve not had any issues with travelling rabbits but only use a very small number of airlines which we trust. JR went BA.
Thats the first Bunny I have seen being transported like this.and thats a long flight for a rabbit too,xx Rachel
Now that’s a big bunny!
Riggsby lookss like hee iss BERRY happy to bee inn thee warm Sunshine fur sure!

Won’t it be interesting if we get to see how big JR actually gets!
Rigsby knows how to have fun!
Those rabbits are rather handsome.
That picture of Rigsby should be the cover of a dog magazine – swimsuit edition, of course!
