Red Door Animal Shelter is a no-kill shelter that rescues dogs, cats and rabbits Since the Middle Ages, a red door has been the symbol of a safe haven.
This is what Red Door Animal Shelter provides for the animals in its care. In the Chinese art of feng shui, a red door brings luck to those who live behind it. This is what Red Door wants for the animals in its care. Red Door Animal Shelter is a no-kill shelter committed to helping animals in need.

Yes, I know it’s just pictures of the objects. Sorry I didn’t want to drag my knockoff Le Creuset all the way to the shelter and I’m fresh out of percolators. Sue me.
Skillet is a small guy with a big bunitude. He does have a signature emo look, after all. He promises it’s not just a phase.

🌈 Today we remember Charlie, formally known as Papa Ru, a little spotted gentleman who packed a lot of of life into his short time on earth.
In 2020, fellow rabbit rescued Liz R. took in a mom, dad and two litters of babies. She wrote, "He was always very good with the kids. When mama was giving birth he was very concerned and excited. I had mama and papa next to each other in separate pens but the babies could squeeze through the pen bars to visit both parents whenever they wanted. He was a lover! "
This husbun had 3 wives after raising 16 kits with Mama Ru. He was brought to Red Door for some speed dates where he met Ricki, a raven haired Dutch bunny owned by Sarah V., a long time volunteer. His third wife was red haired lady named Gigi. When she passed Papa Ru fell for a giant blonde named Lucy.
Bunny momma Sarah:
"Charlie (nee Papa Ru) was a silly gentleman, flop king and legendary ladykiller. Chronic health issues never got him down, he took it all in stride and lived a life full of naps, binkies, hay piles and much love from his mom. Divorcee (Mama Ru), two time widower (Ricki and Gigi) and absentee father of 16 (all named after drag queens), Charlie is survived by his much younger, larger and blonder wife, Lucy."
Binky free sweet little boy. 🖤🤍
