My story

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

Must adopt with bond mate, Jett

Hello there! I'm Bernadette, a shy little bunny with a lionhead coat that's as unique as my personality. Before finding my way to Rabbit Rescue of Minnesota, I lived a quiet life as a show bunny confined to a small cage. Sadly, my previous family didn't see the beauty in my fluffy coat, so they decided they didn't want me anymore. But let me tell you, everyone here at the rescue can't stop complimenting how gorgeous my fur is, especially when I'm snuggled up with my bondmate, Jett! We are best friends, so we must be adopted together.

Life has been quite the adventure for me. I'm still a bit nervous around new people, but I've made incredible progress. During the day, you'll often find me playing the role of supervisor while Jett explores. My absolute favorite pastime is playing in our hidey house. We love to stand on our back legs and flip it over, sometimes even working together as a team. It's a blast! And when it's time for breakfast, I can't help but be excited. I've learned to share my food nicely, but I still don’t like to share my vitamin – it’s my favorite! 

Speaking of food – cilantro is my absolute favorite, but I'm also quite the connoisseur of carrots and fruits as treats. Foster mom says I have to pace myself, but if it were up to me, I'd munch on them all day long. I've also become quite the expert at hay eating, which is great for my teeth. As for litter training, I'm getting better and better every day.

When it comes to sharing my space, I'm happiest with Jett by my side. I haven't been around other animals like cats and dogs, and I have a feeling they're not really my cup of tea. That's why I think I'd do best in a quiet home without any kids, where Jett and I can continue our adventures together, flipping hidey houses and munching on cilantro to our hearts' content. 

So, if you're looking for a pair of adorable bunnies to join your family, look no further! Jett and I are ready to hop into our forever home together.

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

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.
