My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

*Please read FULL description before inquiring.*

Elton is such a curious little guy! He was found loose outdoors, and appears to be around 8 months of age. In Decatur, IL (where Elton was found), there is an ongoing issue of currently approximately 100 domesticated rabbits who are the offspring of 2 opposite sex rabbits purchased from Rural King. Domesticated rabbits can not survive the challenges of the outdoors well, and it’s quite likely Elton wouldn’t have made it through the winter. While domesticated rabbits aren’t the hardiest of animals, they also reproduce very fast, hence why the pair of bunnies’ offspring have now populated Decatur.

Elton is quite friendly and does not mind being picked up for nail trims or hugs and kisses. We believe he would do well in a home with children, dogs, and/or cats who are respectful of him.

If you're interested in adopting, please submit an adoption application at www.hhsar.org/adopt. The adoption fee is $60, which does not include a habitat, cage, pen, or any supplies. We regularly have used habitats, cages, pens and supplies available for a donation fee. Please contact us for more information. We are a foster-based rescue and do not have a shelter location where our animals can be visited. We can arrange a visit if you're interested in adopting, but we require an adoption application to be submitted before.

More about this shelter

We are a 501C3 non-profit licensed foster-based animal rescue. We strive to help as many unloved animals as possible find loving forever homes. Hoppy Haven Small Animal Rescue focuses on small animals who are often overlooked and forgotten. In many cases, the animals are obtained by people who incorrectly believe that they do not require much care, only to learn that they have needs just like dogs and cats. We are here for those animals to help them on their journey to finding the love and care they deserve.
The idea of HHSAR was born April 2018 when a group of ten rabbits were obtained from a horrible situation. They all found loving homes through the help of our friends at The Moon Dog Farm, a Chicago-based rescue. However, we wanted to do more in other parts of the state. There are many rabbits as well as other animals who need help and because of that need, HHSAR was born.
Our goal is to help all animals that we have the means to help, while doing our best to minimize our environmental impact. We also strive to operate with a loving and caring vegan mindset.
We are a partner with PetSmart Charities, which allows us to help a significantly higher number of animals. In our first full month, we had 34 adoptions.
As a non-profit and foster-based rescue, we always welcome donations, whether monetary or items items such as towels, flat bedsheets, rugs, blankets, and supplies small animals can use such as cages, carriers, etc.
