My story

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

Must adopt with bond mate, Amber

Hello there, I'm AUGUST, and I'm here to say hello with a friendly hop and a twitch of my whiskers. I'm the bunny in charge around here, and I take my role seriously. You see, I like things to run smoothly and on time, especially when it comes to feeding and getting some well-deserved attention.

I must admit, I'm quite the treat enthusiast, and there's nothing like a tasty morsel to get me all excited. If you have some treats, you'll see me light up with curiosity. I also enjoy receiving some gentle petting – it's a great way to show me some love.

Now, I do need a bit of supervision when I'm out and about, as I can be quite the chewer. I haven't had much time to learn the ropes of free-roaming, having been kept in a small cage before my fostering days. My buddy Amber and I are both larger bunnies, so we could use two litter boxes in our pen area to accommodate us. We're getting better at using them, and we're eager to learn more about being active and exploring our surroundings.

We share a fondness for chewing on sticks and are a bit obsessed with treats. Carrots didn't initially strike our fancy, but we're slowly warming up to them when they're served in our salads. We even have a ball in our pen that we sometimes push your way – a fun way to engage with you.

We currently enjoy Oxbow essential adult rabbit food, sharing a ¼ cup a day as part of our diet plan. Amber and I are quite sociable and good at meeting new people, especially if they come bearing treats. Hay is our very favorite food and as an added bonus, it keeps our teeth in good shape.

When it comes to health, I could stand to lose a little weight, so I'm on a diet, but there are no special or chronic health needs to worry about. Amber and I are also great around older children – we're curious and always on the lookout for more treats. We might even nudge you from behind or give your clothes a little nibble to remind you of our presence.

As for cats and dogs, well, that's a bit of a mystery. We haven't had the chance to meet them yet. Amber and I have always been together for the past 2 ½ years, and we genuinely enjoy each other's company. That's why we must be adopted together – we make a great team. I'm the in-charge bunny, making sure everything's safe and sound for both of us. So, if you're looking for friendly, curious, and calm, we're here and eager to find our forever home with you.

Adoption fee for Pair: $150.00 (+tax)

RRMN bunnies are all vetted, spayed/neutered, and microchipped. All bunnies are fostered in private homes where they are socialized and ready to become indoor companion house pets. RRMN is a non-profit rescue group operated 100% by volunteers, and 100% of donations/adoption fees go to the direct care of our animals. Due to their very special behavioral needs, we do not advocate for our rescue rabbits to serve as Emotional Support Animals (ESAs).  We are unable to provide any documentation or certification for an ESA.     

If you have any questions or are interested in meeting or adopting this bunny, the first step is to complete an adoption application found on our website:  http://www.rabbitrescueofmn.com.  For the safety of our rescue bunnies, our protocol requires a home-visit before placement.  Therefore, we are unable to facilitate adoptions that exceed an hour and a half of travel time from the Twin Cities area.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We are a foster based Rescue and do not have a shelter location. You must have an approved application on file before an official meet-and-greet can occur. However, we regularly hold public events where anyone is welcome to stop by and meet some bunnies! All events can be found under the "Events" tab on our website.

More about this rescue

Rabbit Rescue of MN is a 501(c)3 non-profit rabbit rescue. Our mission is somewhat different than that of many other rescues as we take in sick, abused, neglected, abandoned and unwanted domestic rabbits, as well as rabbits from the public that are no longer wanted. We fundraise in order to get proper vetting and then focus on rehabilitation to ready our rabbits for their forever homes.


We are 100% volunteer-based and have no paid staff. All of our rescue rabbits are cared for in private foster homes where they are properly housed and receive love and socialization. We do not advocate housing our rescue rabbits in pet stores of any kind. Prior to adoption we screen our applicants thoroughly including a background check and a visit to our applicant's home to ensure that our rescue rabbits will be properly housed in a well-ventilated, well-lit and space appropriate area. Our mission includes educating first time rabbit families on the proper housing, exercise, diet and medical care.


Our rescue rabbits are all wellness checked, spayed/neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. We pride ourselves on informing the public that domestic rabbits are “exotic” pets/family members and require very specific care, medical attention and housing, as well as a space in the home where they can be part of the family.
