Please complete our Adoption Application Form if you are interested in adopting.

Please contact us well in advance of adoption days to be given an appointment to meet adoptable rabbits. Also, we will gladly arrange a meeting with a foster home or shelter volunteer, to help find the perfect bunny for you!

Remember, when you adopt from HRS, you are helping two bunnies; the one you take home, and the one we are able to pull from a shelter and into foster care, to fill the newly opened space.

If you adopted a rabbit from HRS (check your adoption contract) and cannot keep it, please contact us at hrs@sandiegorabbits.org.

If your rabbit came from another source, find out what you can do to place your rabbit in a new home. This article will help you with screening questions, and websites where you can post your rabbit for adoption.

All San Diego area shelters have rabbit adoption programs; most are assisted by HRS in finding homes for their rabbits. If you have found a stray rabbit, contact your local shelter to turn the bunny in so they can find its owner or it can get adopted into a new home. See a list of shelters here.
