WATSON is an adorable
Netherland Dwarf rabbit with
a big personality in a pocket
sized package! Watson was
surrendered to HSCO because
his previous owner was
moving. He has been neutered
and microchipped during his
stay at HSCO. Watson was
previously a house rabbit,
which means he ran around
inside the house and used a
litterbox. He is 5 years young
with lots of love to give!
