My story

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

Must adopt with bond mate, Blueberry

Hello there, humans! I'm Sofie, one half of the dynamic duo the Girly Whirly's – that's me and my inseparable bonded sister, Blueberry. Foster mom gave us that whimsical name, and we absolutely love it! Our journey began in a challenging way; we came from a meat breeder and had to overcome abscesses. Thankfully we've fully recovered - we're spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and in good health. Nowadays, me and Blueberry are like two peas in a pod, always together and always up to something. We're super sweet, a little silly, and extremely adventurous. However, it might take us a bit of time to warm up to a new environment due to our early experiences. We're the Girly Whirly's, and we insist on being adopted together. You can't have one without the other!

Now a little bit about myself, I’m a curious girl and always on the lookout for new adventures. If there's something to chew on or a spot to jump up, you can bet I'll be there. I have a bigger personality than Blueberry; I'm the leader, the trailblazer. I’m an active gal who requires a lot of run time, but safety first! I must be supervised or in a rabbit-safe space. Our foster mom knows I can be a bit mischievous, and if I’m bored, run out of hay, or lack something to chew on, you'll hear me making noise with my pen. Occasionally, I’ll even recruit Blueberry to attempt a midnight escape to explore the rest of our bedroom.

Mornings are when I really shine. I help foster mom get ready for work by following her around, circling her feet, and distracting her with my undeniable cuteness. Wherever she goes, I go. Me and Blueberry are her shadows, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Now, let's talk about my gourmet taste. I’m a bit of a foodie; I love cilantro, various lettuces, fruits, Oxbow hay, pellets, and anything else bunny-safe. Occasionally I’ll even have some carrots, basil, and parsley. Foster mom says my appetite is as big as my personality!

Even though I’m curious, I’m not a big fan of being handled. If I sense anyone wants to pick me up, you can count on me making a quick escape and finding a cozy hiding spot. When it comes to cleanliness, I’m a litter box expert. But, if the setup isn't full of hay and fresh litter, well, the floor becomes a viable option.

Currently, I’m living in a home with 4 other bunny friends and 3 dogs. But I have to be honest - I’m not a fan of dogs or young children. I only tolerate my respectful 14-year-old foster brother because he sometimes feeds me and gives me fresh water (which is required at least twice a day). I’m on the lookout for a family that can shower me and Blueberry with time and attention. Are you ready to welcome the Girly Whirly's into your hearts and home?

*RRMN does not recommend our rabbits as companion animals for anyone under the age of 10*

If you're interested, please fill out an adoption application at: http://www.rabbitrescueofmn.com.

Gender: Female

Approximate weight: 7.3 pounds

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.

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.
