PHOTOS: This Week's Adorable Adoptable Animals: Bunnies

WASHINGTON -- Like big ears and carrots?

The Washington Humane Society is holding a bunny adoption event this Saturday and Sunday. "Rabbit Rally Weekend" will take place at Petco (3505 Connecticut Ave. NW) from 1-3 p.m.

Trivia time: It has been theorized that New York's Coney Island was named for its sizable population of wild rabbits.

Below, a handful of the bunnies available for adoption. Jacqueline H. Toppings, director of Marketing & Communications for WHS, tells HuffPost there are nine bunnies WHS has available for adoption altogether. Sweetening the pot: some of the bunnies are being trained to walk on harnesses.

National average life for Rabbits is closer to 5 yrs, not 10 or 12. this means some live 6 months, most live 5-7 yrs, some few actually can go on for 10 yrs, or more. They are very susceptible to stress, so need alone time, and a "safe place" to hide out when they want to. Breeding Rabbits is much more difficult than might be imagined, and should not be attempted using any but rabbits from proven breeding lines. Best if a good breeder is consulted before hand.
