It sounds like this bunny has found a safe home with you and perhaps with time she will become more content. I would consider calling local vets offices to see if any know of missing bunnies (sometimes owners will call the vet's office to see if anyone has found their pet), and consider looking at online sites like craigslist or community facebook pages. You can find some other links in this article: http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/what_to_do_lost_pets.html?referrer=https://www.google.com/ for websites where people post lost pets. Also contact your local animal shelter/humane society to see if anyone there has posted a lost bunny.
