Rescue Pet Of The Week: Bunny Chewbacca Isn't In 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' But He Still Looks Like A Star! (VIDEOS)

He might not have made it into "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," but we still think he's a star! Chewbacca is a medium, male long coat lionhead rabbit who is less...


...and more...


...but that's the way we like him.

Chewbacca is hanging out doing his bunny thing in the Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab, Utah (just north of the Arizona state line). Residents of the area refer to Kanab as "Little Hollywood" as many movies like "Planet of the Apes," "The Lone Ranger" and "Gunsmoke" were filmed there.

"Chewbacca was born in 2014," according to his profile. "Like all bunnies, Chewie likes to dig, get into things and run around. Most rabbits do best with a buddy. Our rabbits are no different and the majority of them are deeply bonded with one or two other rabbits. We do require that bonded pairs are adopted together. If you find a rabbit you are interested in adopting, we will be happy to tell you whether or not they have a partner."

Chewbacca has "special criteria" listed on his profile: He can have a sleepover! The sanctuary offers potential rabbit 'rents the chance to take Chewbacca on an overnight outing. If you are interested in adopting furchild Chewie or just getting more information, contact Best Friends via email rabbits@bestfriends.org. You can also contact the sanctuary via Petfinder.
