The rescue explained that it is proceeding cautiously and evaluating Bunny’s situation “one step at a time.” While there is a possibility she could be a candidate for a wheelchair in the future, they stressed that more immediate questions must first be answered, including whether she is able to relieve herself independently and whether she can ultimately have a good quality of life.In the post, the organization reassured followers that Bunny’s wellbeing remains the priority, writing that “she is safe” and “she is loved,” and emphasizing that they will “do everything we can to make the best decisions for her.” The rescue also asked the public to keep Bunny in their thoughts as they navigate next steps and promised to provide updates.In a subsequent update, Chow Chow Rescue of Central New York shared encouraging news after Bunny spent time outdoors. “It was a perfect day for Baby Bunny to be outside getting some fresh air and sunshine,” the rescue wrote, reporting that she is eating and drinking and appears able to relieve herself.

Behind the scenes, the organization said it is consulting with specialists and researching long‑term solutions that could help Bunny thrive. The rescue said it is currently exploring medical options to ensure Bunny can have a good quality of life and researching whether a mobility cart or could be a feasible option for her in the future. In the meantime, they encouraged followers to enjoy watching Bunny’s playful moments as decisions continue to be made.:"She is with me to care for her and take her to any medical appointments, do rehab, and help find the best options to try to give her the best long-term quality of life, and if that can be done, she will ultimately be available for adoption. Since she just got here over the weekend, we're still at the beginning stages of this for Baby Bunny. "Bunny is my only foster pup at this time to be sure I'm able to devote the proper time and care for her, since she is a bit more labor intensive."
