Rescue FAQs

The Wisconsin House Rabbit Society is a registered 501(C) non profit charitable organization. The Wisconsin House Rabbit Society is a chapter of the international House Rabbit Society and shares their mission: to rescue homeless rabbits and to provide education and outreach on rabbit care. Our mission is realized through the efforts of numerous volunteers, and regular activities which include:
Spaying and neutering rabbits rescued from local shelters.
Fostering rabbits as they await adoption into permanent, loving homes.
Providing veterinary care for foster rabbits, some with serious health problems.
Training foster rabbits to use a litterbox and enjoy a healthy diet.
Publishing quarterly newsletter for supporting members.
Maintaining a website regarding the health, nutrition, behavior and care of rabbits as in-home companion animals.
Providing sanctuary to rabbits who have chronic health conditions or who need specialized, long-term care.
Hosting community educational activities such as Bunny Day and presenting Rabbit 101 programs at shelters for staff, volunteers and the general public.
Assisting shelters with hoarding or confiscation cases involving a large numbers of rabbits.
Adoption is the primary goal. WHRS rescues rabbits that would otherwise be euthanized at area shelters due to lack of space, health, or behavioral concerns. Every rabbit placed in a loving, forever home means another can be rescued.
All counties in Wisconsin.
We also transfer in from out of state.
