My story

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

Hawthorn came to us from a hoarding case, so it’s no surprise that he was a little reserved when he first arrived. With time, patience, and kindness, he’s truly blossomed.

Today, Hawthorn is calm, gentle, and wonderfully unfazed by everyday life. He’s perfectly content sitting with a toddler—even when his head is being “decorated” with hay! He enjoys exploring his surroundings and will happily investigate new spaces, but he does so thoughtfully rather than with reckless abandon. He’s not much of a jumper, making him an easygoing companion in the home.

Hawthorn has a soft spot for snacks and will readily come over to see if you’ve brought him a treat. His quiet confidence, sweet demeanor, and steady curiosity make him a delightful presence.

If you’re looking for a bunny who has overcome a tough start and grown into a gentle, trusting companion, Hawthorn may be the perfect match for you.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption procedure includes a phone interview, home visit, and any necessary education of potential adopters. Our adoption fee is a $150 donation per rabbit. All of our rabbits are spayed/neutered, health checked by rabbit-savvy vets, vaccinated for the RHDV2 virus, and fostered in private homes.

For more information about adoptions, please read our guide to the adoption process or email us: information@longislandrabbitrescue.org

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We don’t have a physical shelter building. The rabbits are fostered in our homes. If you are interested in any particular bunny (or bunnies), we can make arrangements for you to meet them. If you would like a companion for a bunny you already have, we can arrange for several “meetings” and a bonding session to ensure your bunny will be happy with his/her new mate!
