Adoptable Rabbits

If you are interested in any of our rabbits, please go to our adoption application page for more information.

We strongly suggest adopting rabbits in pairs, or adopting a pair that has already bonded. Rabbits are social creatures and enjoy the company of their own kind, particularly if you are out of the house for much of the day. It is not substantially more work to care for a bonded pair than for a single bunny, so if you already own a single rabbit, we encourage you to think about adopting a mate for him or her.

Baxter

Baxter is a middle-aged rabbit, about five and a half years old. With proper care (appropriate diet, regular exercise, yearly check-ups at the vet to keep an eye on his overall health), he could live another five years. If you're looking for a companion for a middle-aged bun who's recently lost a friend, Baxter would be a good choice.

He was left largely alone in a garage for some time before we were able to get him into a foster home, so he is still learning how to deal with humans and other rabbits. He is surprisingly docile about being held and cuddled. He loves lettuce and greens. He has the body and face of a mini lop and the ears of a dwarf, so he's probably a mix of both breeds.

Birda

Birda is a former lab rabbit and about three to four years old. She is a bossy, in-your-face, smart as a whip New Zealand White. Because she had a companion until very recently, she would do best in a home with another rabbit, so she is a good choice if you are looking for a girl to bond with your boy, or if you are considering adopting a pair of rabbits from us. She desperately needs a new home because her current owner has become physically disabled.

Bobby

Bobby is a sweet, tiny boy who was given up because his owner had collected too many animals. He is very shy, but easily handled; he just needs time to get used to new surroundings. He is not at all aggressive to humans or other rabbits; in fact, he is a prime candidate for a bonding mate because he will groom just about any bunny who comes near. He needs to go to a home where he can live contentedly with another rabbit; he is quite friendly with both Fritz and Mouse, two other dwarfs available for adoption from us.

Bonkers

Bonkers was rescued from a shelter on October 24, 2006. The shelter had hit overload and was going to euthanize some of the bunnies. When we walked in, Bonkers did several binkies right in that tiny stainless steel cage he was living in! Of course we had to take him, so we put him in a cardboard carrier. While we were getting the other bunnies loaded up, he proceeded to chew a hole in the carrier, until his whole head was sticking out. Thankfully, the shelter had extra carriers, and we managed to get him home without further incident. His foster mom thought that since he was so exuberant, he should be put in an exercise pen rather than the smaller dog crate - and the next morning he had hopped right over the top! That was when he got the name "Bonkers" - and even though he's mellowed out some since then, he is still that crazy, playful rabbit.

He is such a playful bunny, and loves nothing more than greeting people, getting attention, and getting into trouble. He's like a puppy, who'll run up to you when you get home from work, chew your favorite shoes (er, you are going to get him lots of chew toys so he'll leave your shoes alone, right?), race around the room at top speed, and climb onto the dining table acting like he owns the place. Just so you are aware, he does not like real dogs (that is the only time he will display any signs of fear; otherwise he acts as if he believes that he is immortal).

Daphne

Daphne has a highly unusual coloring, being part Harlequin. This beauty is also a really sweet girl with lots of energy. She loves to race around, jump and climb. She is a good girl, very in your face, who really loves her playtime and needs a home where she will have free run the majority of the time. She loves her salads and is a big hay eater. Originally, she was left at a shelter with her mate and three babies.

Ella

Ella was originally dropped at a large shelter. When her time was up, she was adopted by someone who then two months later became extremely ill, so she was given up again. She is very spunky, energetic and playful; she's a very interactive and entertaining bunny who will want to explore every inch and be part of daily activities. She is a highly affectionate bunny (a licker!), who likes to romp, dig in her box, and run tirelessly. Loves to chew on her willow tunnel and plays hide and seek with herself, tunneling under the many rugs in her pen. She craves attention and needs a home where she can be top rabbit and do lots of exploring; she's a gal who loves to leave to wander, but always comes home. She would not do well in a home with dogs; even just the scent of a dog terrifies her.

Fritz

Fritz is a small, shy rabbit, but is responding to gentle, adult handling. His nose just pokes higher in the air the more it is rubbed. He is very energetic, playful and curious. When he's out to play, he does funny "possessed" binkies. He gets along very well with Mouse and Bobby, and would love to go to a new, permanent home with either one, or both. He was originally pulled from a kill shelter about to euthanize some of its rabbits in October 2006.

Harvey and Jasmine

Harvey is a large gray male rabbit, bonded to Jasmine, who is a smaller black Rex. She is the more energetic of the two.

Hazel and Nutmeg

Hazel and Nutmeg are a sister and brother pair of mini Rexes. Hazel, the girl, has gray fur and is the more shy of the two. She is dainty and polite, although she doesn't care much for any rabbits except for her brother. Nutmeg, who has chocolate brown fur, is more outgoing and more willing to approach humans. He also likes to climb and hide under tablecloths. Although they do not demand attention from people the way some of our other bunnies do, they will come around to patient, gentle adults who allow them to make the first move (and, of course, who offer appropriate healthy treats as bribes).

These two were rescued from a pet store where they were destined to become snake food. If you are seeking a bonded pair to adopt, they could be just the bunnies for you (they won't need an introductory period to get used to each other, or bonding sessions).

Husky

Husky was rescued from a shelter on October 24, 2006 - the shelter had reached overload status and the rabbits were in danger of being euthanized. Bunnies like him who have white fur and red eyes are difficult to adopt out, but if you could meet him in person, you'd never want to let him go. He's really very sweet and mellow, and even likes to be held and cuddled (Himalayans are unusual in that most of them don't mind being handled) - he won't even mind if you clip his claws. He loves to dig (mind your carpets!), shred newspaper (or just about anything), and climb on top of things. He would do best in a single rabbit home.

Leontyne

Leontyne was dumped in a relative's backyard and left to fend for herself. She barely escaped a hawk attack and is now terrified of small children because they were chasing her. She is a young Lionhead, currently about three pounds in weight.

Luke

Luke is a lazy bones. Sometimes he lies down right in front of his food bowl, dips in his chin, and eats like that - as if it were too much bother to sit up. He would be a good fit for a laid-back household, where he isn't expected to dash all over the place and clamber onto the furniture (all that effort, bah). He is deaf, so he would need a quiet home without children.

Mouse

Mouse is cute as a button and has dainty, delicate habits. She likes it best when her parsley is held out for her to nibble on. She is not aggressive or dominant and is used to other rabbits, so she would make a good bonder. In fact, she is quite enamored with Fritz, and would love to go home with him or Bobby. With a little bit of pampering, she will be a sweet and entertaining bun.

Racquel

Racquel is a semi-lop - her ears go up, down, out or pretty much any which way. Sometimes one will be up and the other will flop down, which is amusing to see. She is a very sweet, easygoing bunny, not especailly active. She is very neat and clean and would make a good bonder.

Sean

Sean is a little over a year old. He is a New Zealand White, one of the breeds with the biggest personalities. He is being overlooked at a local shelter, most likely due to his size, color, and red eyes. But all of these pale in comparison to the compansionship, affection, and outright fun that most New Zealands offer once they are provided with a welcoming home.

Sofia

Sofia is terrified of dogs and needs a home without any dogs.

Spazzi

Spazzi's favorite activities include throwing things, eating hay, eating lettuce, and lounging. She is not fond of being held, like most other rabbits, but she enjoys nose rubs and gentle petting. She is a little on the shy side, due to being dumped at four months of age, but has come around greatly in foster care.

Winston

Winston is just under a year old. He is a New Zealand White, one of the breeds with the biggest personalities. He is being overlooked at a local shelter, most likely due to his size, color, and red eyes. But all of these pale in comparison to the compansionship, affection, and outright fun that most New Zealands offer once they are provided with a welcoming home.
