Wild Rescue, Inc./Rabbit Rescue

Additional adoption info

If you’ve come to us to inquire about adopting a rabbit, we know that you are serious about making this commitment and we will help you find the perfect rabbit companion for your family.

Our adoption process is quite simple. One of our adoption counselors will sit down with you and help you decide if a rabbit would be a good fit for your home. Proper diet, easy litter training, health care, and other important issues will be discussed to help you arrive at a final decision.

We encourage you to house your rabbit indoors and provide an area outdoors where your rabbit can have supervised playtime - this is essential to their health.

The fee for adopting a rabbit is only $90, which covers the cost of their spay/neuter and a physical examination for your rabbit. If you would like to make a further donation, it would help defer the cost of pre- and post-operative care (pain medications and fluids).

There are many different breeds of rabbits with varying temperments. They range in size from majestic New Zealands and loving Californians (10 lbs and up) to tiny Netherland Dwarfs (2-4 lbs). The most common colors of rabbits are white and black. Spotted coats, harlequin, banded (Dutch), fuzzy; our rabbits come in these and many more varieties. Each rabbit is unique and beautiful in its own right, and worthy of becoming your new companion.

When you adopt a rabbit from Rabbit Rescue, your rabbit comes to you already either spayed or neutered. “Fixing” your rabbit is a responsible practice and results in a calmer, more affectionate companion. This also will help eliminate inappropriate hormonally-driven behaviors such as chewing, nesting, urine spraying and mounting. Rabbits do not receive yearly vaccinations, but we do recommend a yearly check-up.

Rabbits should be given outside playtime to help with absorption of essential vitamins, and to give them fresh, natural foods (your grass and weeds) to munch on. While outside they will file down their nails and teeth naturally just doing what bunnies do, which means they will have fewer problems with excessively long nails or overgrown teeth.

If you are confused or just curious about what kind of habitat we suggest for an indoor enclosure for your rabbit, please ask us! We can help you put together a kit that will give your rabbit a great place to stay, and that won’t hurt your wallet.
