HRS Foster Rabbits for
Adoption
|
|
San Diego House Rabbit
Society has many wonderful rabbits available
for adoption; in all sizes, colors, and
breeds! Each one of these rabbits has been
spayed or neutered, litter box trained, and
cared for in the home of their HRS foster
parent.
Whether you are
looking for one bunny, a pair, or a
companion for your current rabbit, we will
likely have a rabbit that is perfect for
you! Our next scheduled adoption day
is
Sunday, Aug 8. Please be sure
to contact us
well in advance
of the adoption day, so we can help you find
the most appropriate rabbit for you. If you
cannot make the adoption day, we will try to
work with you to arrange a meeting at
another time.
Please
complete our
Adoption Application Form if you are
interested in adopting. If you do not
hear back from us within 48 hours, please
send an email to
adopt@sandiegorabbits.org to ensure we
received your application.
NOTE: Be sure to read our
adoption guidelines
for adoption fees, screening requirements,
and more helpful information.
Bunnies
waiting "forever" for new homes.
HRS is a safe place for rabbits where they
never have the fear of being euthanized due
to lack of space, or medical or behavioral
issues. However, adoptions have been
really slow this year and many of our
rabbits have been waiting a long time for a
new home of their own. We have
included information in their descriptions
that tells how long they've been waiting for
someone to open their heart to them and give
them a loving "forever" home. Maybe your
family can be the one to end their wait?
Are you visiting our
website in order to adopt a rabbit, but you
are NOT located in Southern California? If
so, please visit the National HRS website to
find an
HRS Chapter near you!

This
heart symbol denotes a 'special needs'
bunny. These rabbits have health,
behavioral, age or physical conditions that
require a bit of adjustment on the part of
their new home. Please - open your
heart to our special needs bunnies and help
them live 'happily ever after.'
This sunflower symbol denotes bunnies who
are "easy keepers." These bunnies are
good for families, easy to care for, and
have shown no difficult habits while in
foster care.
|
|
Note:
Not all HRS
foster rabbits may be posted here, so let us
know what you are looking for. Thank you for
choosing to adopt through HRS. We will help
you find just the right rabbit!
Rabbits marked "adoption pending" have been
adopted and are going through a 'bonding
period' with their new rabbit companion.

Holly is a mature bunny girl looking
for a loving bunny companion.
Pretty Holly came from a local shelter where
she was very unhappy with her environment.
We took Holly into foster care and have been
giving her the TLC she so desperately needs.
We've tried her with bunny boys and it's
clear she really wants a bunny companion.
She's tidy with her cage, thankful for
gentle attention and nice petting sessions,
but can be somewhat grumpy from time to
time. She just needs to feel secure
and happy again. Holly is about 3 years old
and would do best in an experienced bunny
home with a more open
x-pen setup rather than a cage. Do
you have a bunny boy looking for love?

Single, Gorgeous
Girl In Search of Quiet, Loving Home!
Turtle is a 3 year old Rex girl
with a sweet, serene, loving personality.
While Rex rabbits are known for their soft,
velvety fur, Turtle’s fur is like SILK. She
enjoys being held and petted, and will even
give soft bunny kisses from time to time.
Turtle’s foster family reports
that she adds “grace and beauty” to their
home, but she does get nervous around small
children. We believe Turtle will be happiest
in a home with adults or quieter children.
Turtle is also used to living in an
x-pen setting
so she has plenty of room to do important
bunny tasks like napping, stretching out,
and playing with toys and her Cottontail
Cottage.

Otter is a handsome boy, looking for his
lady love. This handsome lop
mix boy is 4 years old and recently lost his
bunny companion - along with his home.
It's so sad... He is handling it well,
though, and does his best to enjoy each day
that comes. We know, however, that
Otter would like to have another bunny girl
to love. This sweet boy is easy to
handle, friendly, and would do great in most
any home. He's good with his litter
box and enjoys playing with toys.

Little girl, Peaches, needs a very
experienced home. This pretty
little girl has some special needs that can
only be met by an experienced bunny home (or
someone who has cared for special needs
animals). Peaches is a young dwarf
girl, blind in one eye and very cage
protective because she cannot see well.
Once you learn how to approach her she loves
attention and will sit with you for petting
for a long, long time! Peaches is
litter box trained but still refining her
skills. She keeps wanting to use both
corners of her cage. Her foster home
is working with her to help her get more
comfortable about being approached, and
better at using her litterbox. Peaches
might do well as a companion to a bunny boy
and that could help her feel more secure.
Peaches is not appropriate for a family with
very young children as she will bite if she
gets scared. Do you have the
experienced home that is right for Peaches?

Little
Jeffrey is a sweet, fuzzy love bun.
This darling boy is about 6 months old.
A French Angora, Jeffrey normally has very
long fur. We cut it short to remove
mats and to keep him cool for the summer.
Jeffrey is super sweet and enjoys attention.
He did live with other bunnies at one point
and might enjoy a girlfriend to keep him
company. He's easy going and a super
little guy who needs an attentive new home.
Note:
Because Jeffrey is a long-haired rabbit, his
new family will need to comb him out several
times a week to prevent matting. We
can teach you how to do this at our August
14th "Angora Grooming" class.

Pretty girl, Alexi,
needs a bunny-experienced home that enjoys
her active nature.
Alexi has
been waiting more than 2 years for a new
home!
This pretty Dutch girl is 2˝ years old,
active and sweet. She does not do well in a
cage, and requires an
x-pen setting
in her new home. Alexi can be
protective of her space but once she knows
that you will be gentle and give her some
pets (and a papaya treat!) she is willing to
let you in her area. She will be fine with
an experienced bunny home but might be too
confident for children under 12 yrs. Alexi
loves her run time and playing with toys,
and she's also very good with her litter
box. Alexi would likely do well with
cats and gentle dogs.

Charlie and Lorne Doone are a sweet bonded
pair who've fallen on hard times.
These poor bunnies recently lost their home
and instead of being returned to HRS, were
left at a shelter. Thank goodness we have
great relationships with our area shelters;
they called us to let us know that our
adopted bunnies had come in there. Sadly,
we don't really know why the bunnies were
given up but we think the family may have
lost their home. It's a story we're hearing
all too often. Lorna Doone is about 2 1/2
years old and we think Charlie is about 5
years. Both are in great shape although
Lorna could stand to lose a little weight.
These two bunnies would do best in a home
with adults or older children. They are
gentle and sweet and will make nice family
bunnies.

Little
Oscar the Grouch has a good reason for being
mad. Some viscious person
left him in a trash can! Oscar was
found by a good Samaritan who took him home
and tried to clean him up and find him a
safe place to go. This fuzzy little
guy is a Lion Head about 3yrs old. He's
sweet and quiet and not too mad, after all.
I guess he's forgiven the stupid human who
left him there. Oscar has been
neutered and is refining his litter box
skills. He loves his fresh greens and hay
and is an easy boy to handle. We think
he would be a great companion to a nice
bunny girl and deserves a home that is
stable and will care for him - for life.
Note: Because
Oscar has longer fur, he'll need regular
combing to prevent matting of his fur.

BB and Freckles are brother &
sister, looking for their forever home.
They have been
waiting one year for a home.
These youngsters are 1 year old
and siblings from a litter of nine babies.
These two adore each other and must be
adopted together. BB & Freckles are
easygoing, active kids who will do well with
a family with children. They enjoy
petting and playing, and don't mind being
held but will let you know when they've had
enough. They need an
x-pen housing setup, same as the one
they have in their foster home.
Youngsters their age are more active and
will need plenty of play time (out of their
living area), plus toys and boxes to toss &
chew. If you'd like a younger pair of
bunnies, these two will be a lot of fun for
your family.

Pretty Nutmeg is a darling bunny girl hoping
for a caring new home. This poor
little girl was left behind when her
military family got new orders and moved to
another state. It's so sad that they did
not move her with them; rabbits travel very
well! Now she's with us and looking for her
"forever" home; someone who will consider
her "part of the family" and ensure she
stays with them throughout her entire life.
Pretty Nutmeg is 2 years old, friendly,
sweet, and very tidy in her living space.
She does very well in our recommended x-pen
housing. She enjoys attention and petting
though she's a bit nervous about being
held. Nutmeg is a smaller Silver Marten
girl with beautiful coloring. She would do
well with a quiet family of adults or one
with older, gentle children. She might also
like a bunny boy companion.

You Tube!

If
you're NOT into "extreme cuteness," then
DON'T adopt these bunnies!
Nathan and his
companion Suzie Q, are two of the funniest,
most active and just darned CUTE bunnies
we've ever fostered for adoption. We
don't understand why they are still waiting
for their 'forever home.' Nathan
is a "tripod" bunny because he is missing
his left rear leg. And, Suzie has NO
WHISKERS! Yup, no whiskers. Oh
well... Neither issue makes any
difference to these two cuties. They
enjoy life to the fullest. They love
to run, play, dig, and chew on their
cardboard boxes and grass balls. They
especially love their "Ton of Bun Fun"
tunnel! Because of Nathan's missing
leg, they must be housed on the floor with a
rug or carpet. They have an
x-pen setting in their foster home and
this is what they will require with their
adoptive family. A cage will not work for
them. Nathan & Suzie are best suited
to a home where they will get a lot of
attention and several hours of "out of pen"
time each day.
Note: Nathan is afraid of dogs so he and
Suzie are best suited to a home where
they don't have to share a living area with
dogs.
See Nathan & Suzie on
You Tube.

Baby is
still searching for his "forever" home.
This sweet Rex boy is hoping the FOURTH time
is a charm. Yes - the fourth time.
Poor Baby keeps getting shuttled around
through no fault of his own. First he
was an Easter Bunny who got dumped when they
got bored, then he had a falling out with
his companion and was found a new home, then
he got adopted but his family had to move
unexpectedly and could not take him along.
This bunny boy needs his "forever" home!
Baby is a mini-rex male about 3 1/2 to 4
years old. He's super friendly, great
as a free run bunny and well-trained to his
litter box. He's fine with
well-behaved dogs and would probably do okay
with cats. He would love a stable
adult home where he is the cherished child.
He will return your kindness with
unconditional love.

Kiwi is a spunky and talkative girl.
Kiwi has been waiting
2 years for a new
home.
She’s active and a very fun bunny. Kiwi is
excellent with her litter box and loves her
fresh greens. Kiwi is not
appropriate for a home with young children
since she can be a little grumpy when you
reach into her space. However, once she
knows your intentions, she loves for you to
pet her and will let you pet her for as long
as you'd like! And you'll want to pet her
lots with that super soft Rex fur she has.
Kiwi was born on June 17, 2008 and has been
living at an HRS foster home since she was
just a few days old. To see baby photos of
Kiwi and her siblings, please visit this
website:
http://fosterbabies.shutterfly.com/
Kiwi would prefer to
be a single bunny and get all of your
attention. She is best suited to an adult
bunny home or one with older children.

Little Diva is a tiny little girl
who needs a wonderful 'forever' home.
Miss Diva is about 4 years old and was
previously bonded, but her companion passed
away. We've tried introducing her to
new bunny boys but she hasn't found any she
likes. We think that Diva would like
to find a home where she's the "only" bunny
and gets all your attention. She is
fine living with cats and gentle dogs.
Diva is very tiny so not suited to a home
with small children. She will do best
in an adult home or one with older, bunny
experienced children. She's a bit of
an independent girl and not super cuddly.
She likes attention but is not the type to
constantly seek you out. She would be better
for a mature, bunny experienced home.

Rose
and Iris are two devoted sisters looking for
an experienced bunny home.
These cuties
have been waiting for a home for 2
years!
They are sweet girls who love to play
together and hang out closely all the time.
Rose & Iris are spayed, litter box trained,
and live in a roomy x-pen with their
cottontail cottage. They will need this
same setup in their new home. They would do
best with an adult family or one with older
children who love to observe their crazy
antics.
Check out
this fun video of
Rose & Iris
at play in their foster
home.

Molly & Skipper are two
adorable tiny bunnies. These
cuties are a sweet bonded pair of dwarf
rabbits who adore each other. Skipper
(right) is the more confident of the pair
and takes good care of his girl, Molly
(left). Skipper is about 1 1/2 years
old and Molly about 2 1/2. They are
active, curious, funny and sweet. They
are not used to dogs or cats but do live
around other rabbits. Because they are
so small and delicate, Molly & Skipper
are
NOT suitable to a home with small children.
They are best suited to an adult home (they
have never lived with children) or one with
older, rabbit-experienced children over 10
years old. We are also looking for an
experienced rabbit family that is very
stable.

Grease is the
word. And that word means "cuteness!"
This handsome youngster is full of
energy, fun, and silliness. Grease is
a little guy who was found underneath a car
in a parking lot and had a swipe of grease
down his nose. He's been fostered with
many other species of animals, and children
too. Grease is good with his litter
box, social and friendly. He would
make a great family bunny if you're looking
for a young, active rabbit companion.
Grease is about 1 year old and will do fine
in a large cage or our recommended x-pen
setup. Be sure to give him lots of toys; he
loves to play!

Blossom
and Berry
are a devoted
pair of bunny girls.
Blossom & Berry have been waiting over 2
years for a new home!
They are adorable
together and really depend on each other for
companionship. Blossom, on the left,
is a standard/Dutch mix with Harlequin
coloring, while Berry is a Dutch/Dwarf mix.
Blossom has beautiful light blue eyes, and
Berry's eyes are "half and half" - half
brown and half blue. Very unusual!
Both girls are good with their litter box
and enjoy fresh veggies and lots of good
grass hay. They would do best in an
adult home, or one with older children (over
10) who have bunny experience. They
should be fine with kitties or gentle dogs.
They will need an
x-pen setting rather than a cage, as
Berry can be a bit "protective" of her space
and does not do as well in a cage. Berry
also has been known to nip at small children
who get too excitable, so she really needs a
home with older children or those who are
bunny-experienced.

Berry on

Sweetie is a beautiful bunny girl who is a
bit shy but hopeful for her very own family.
This pretty girl came to us from the
Missouri "Stone County"
cruelty case where more than 100 New
Zealand White bunnies were abandoned by a
breeder. About 18 months old, Sweetie
was rescued along with the others and came,
with 13 other bunnies, out to California to
be cared for by San Diego HRS. Sweetie
is definitely shy, but she LOVES to be
cuddled and will sit in your lap quietly for
some time. She is more comfortable
with adults but could be okay with quiet,
gentle children who will interact with her
on the floor. She loves her fresh
greens and dances happily about during her
exercise time. If you have a quiet
home for Sweetie, please contact us to learn
more.

Sweetie on You Tube.

Pretty Melody is looking for somebunny to
love. This pretty 1 year-old
girl was one of a litter of 9 babies, and
she's missing her siblings. She is
hoping to find a home where she can be
paired with a sweet bunny boy or a family
who will give her their undivided attention. Melody is
sweet, social and enjoys attention.
She has been spayed and is good with her
litter box. Melody is best suited to an
adult home or one with gentle, well-behaved
children. She is used to an
x-pen setup
and will need that in her new home.

Melody on You Tube!

Mikey is a little boy enjoys attention and
is looking for a wonderful new home.
Mikey started out pretty shy when he came to
see us, but he's much better now. He's
active and sweet has gotten good with his
litter box. He enjoys his playtime and likes
to jump up onto and hide under his cardboard
box. He has a stuffed bunny friend that he
also snuggles with. Mikey would do best in
an adult home or one with older children who
will enjoy watching him play and not try to
pick him up too much. He might also enjoy
the company of a sweet bunny girlfriend.

You Tube!

Pretty
Snuggles is finally ready for her new home.
This pretty "Maybelline" bunny came to HRS
severely obese and protective of her cage
which made shelter living very difficult for
her. A few months later she's now much
slimmer and healthy, and has a sweet
personality. She's very neat and tidy
in her cage and loves her hay and fresh
veggies. We think Snuggles would enjoy
a bunny boy companion and a family that will
give her lots of gentle attention.
Snuggles is best suited to an adult home or
one with gentle, older children.

Foster Rabbits Who Have Been
Adopted

Forest is a friendly boy who needs a family
who will commit to him for his entire
lifetime. We are
looking for a very stable family for Forest.
This handsome boy was left on our doorstep.
Literally. We arrived to the bunny
store one day to find this bunny boy sitting
alone in a small cage, next to our door.
Luckily we'd just had an adoption or he
would have gone to the shelter. Forest is
about 3 years old and has pretty
chocolate-brown spots. We took him and
got him neutered, which drastically improved
his litter box skills. He's an
otherwise darling boy who LOVES attention;
petting, snuggling, holding and is super
playful. If you will be committed to
Forest, and not "dump" him after a year or
two, please contact us to learn more.
This handsome, sweet boy needs a "forever"
home. He'll do great with an adult family or
one with well-behaved children (over 7 yrs
old).

Chico is a sweet little guy who needs a
quiet and loving home. This little
guy is about 10 months old, sweet and shy.
He was previously housed with his two
brothers but they were transferred to
another adoption location so he's on his
own. He might like to be a companion to
your sweet bunny girl, or maybe even a boy
bunny who is used to having 'guy' friends.
Chico is neutered and getting better with
his litter box skills. When you hold him in
your lap, he will snuggle and give you
kisses. Beware, though, once he matures and
is not so shy, he may not be a "lap bunny"
for long. Most bunnies get more assertive
as they mature and become more confident.
Chico would like an
x-pen setting
in his new home so he'll have plenty of room
to stretch out and play when you are not at
home to give him attention.

Pretty girl, Angelina Ballerina, needs a
home where she will get plenty of hands-on
care. This pretty Angora girl is
about 1 year old and sweet as can be. She's
a gentle girl who will make a wonderful
family companion and maybe a good friend to
your bunny boy. We've marked Angelina as
"special needs" because her new family
must be sure to comb out her fur several
times each week to prevent matting.
Poor Angelina's fur became very matted at
the shelter so we had to cut it off. She
came into the shelter that way too, so it's
clear that she needs a devoted human who
will follow-through on her care and get her
combed out regularly. If you can't do it
yourself, then you'll need to send her to
one of our experienced volunteers who
provides this service at their home.
Angelina is great with her litter box and
loves her fresh hay and greens. She will
need a nice x-pen
house in her new home. She is a playful
girl who enjoys attention and love from her
human friends.

Handsome boy, Aspen, is one of our all-time
sweetest bunny boys!
Aspen has
been waiting 1 year for a new home.
This handsome big NZW bunny came to
HRS from the "Stone
County"
cruelty case in Missouri. Contrary to
what you might expect, Aspen loves people.
He is shy and a bit scared in new
situations, but he ADORES being petted,
snuggled, and given nose kisses. He's
also very playful and loves to carry his
bell toy in his mouth and dance around his
pen. This big boy will need an
x-pen setup to
have enough room in his new home. Aspen is
best suited to a quiet adult home or one
with gentle, well-behaved children.

Lola aka "Lady
Gaga," is a princess of a girl who knows
she's special and is looking for a family
who will appreciate her unique beauty.
This pretty dwarf Hotot girl is about 1 year
old and adorable. She's friendly but
high-spirited, and really enjoys attention.
She loves her play time where she can zoom
around and be very active. Lola is a great
little bunny who would do well with an adult
family or one with older, bunny experienced
children. She is quite small and very
delicate, therefore not a good choice for a
home with small children. She might like a
little boy companion that she can boss
around. ** ADOPTED 6.6.10 ** See

Adoption photo!

Mica is a darling boy
who enjoys attention.
This little guy is a
dwarf mix bunny with the prettiest silver
fur. He's about 8 months old and has been
neutered. His litter box skills are great
and he does very well in our recommended
x-pen housing
setup. Mica is gentle, sweet and friendly,
and will do well with a family who is
careful and gentle with him. He is very
small and delicate, so is best matched to a
family that has bunny experience and no
really young children. Mica might also like
to meet a sweet bunny girl.

Cutie pie, Frank, is a little Lion head boy
who needs a secure home. This
little guy was found running around a
housing area and hanging out under a patio
table for several days. We don't know if he
escaped from someone's yard or was let go,
but he's VERY LUCKY that he's still with us;
the neighborhood has a lot of coyotes.
Frank is about 5 months old and still a bit
of a squirmy youngster. He's super friendly
and active, but does not like to be held.
He has been neutered and is getting pretty
good with his litter box; still needs
refinement, but not bad. Because Frank will
climb an x-pen or dig underneath, we
recommend the two following rules: 1) Never
put him outside without being right there
with him as he can dig out of your yard in a
flash! and, 2) Give him a roomy
condo cage for a house so he has
multiple levels to run up and down and
plenty of toys. Frank is a super active guy
so he needs a family who is prepared for his
level of energy and will keep a close eye on
him. Keep him well secured and
bunny proof your home. Youngsters of
this age are full of mischief! All that
being said, Frank is a really nice bunny boy
who will make a fun, family companion.

Skyler is a handsome
little guy who needs an experienced bunny
home.
Skyler has
been waiting almost 3 years for a new home!
This little bun boy is a smaller bunny,
about 3˝ years old. Skyler is housed in an
x-pen setup
where he kicks out his legs to relax, and
enjoys being pet. Skyler loves hay and fresh
veggies and running around his pen. He would
do
best in a rabbit-experienced adult home, but
is not a good choice for small children. He
would also be a good companion choice for a
gentle bunny girl. If you're an
experienced bunny home Skyler would benefit
from your love.
Did we mention
that he's perfect with his litter box?

These
two cuties are Apollo and Ajax, a pair of
Himalayan boys. Apollo (lighter
colored boy) and Ajax are two bonded
brothers that are active, funny and sweet.
These bunny boys have been neutered and are
about 6 months old. They are still
perfecting their litter box skills, but on
the way to getting better Apollo and Ajax
love to play, dance, and run around. Their
new home will need to give them lots of
attention and play time out of their
pen; at least
4 hours a day, to ensure they get enough
exercise. They enjoy playing with toys,
running laps in the bunny room, and showing
off with silly antics for their humans.
They would be a great addition to a family
who wants young and active bunnies. **

Abby
is a sweet bunny girl who's had a tough
beginning. Two years ago she was
found outside a motel in Pacific Beach, then
brought to a shelter. After that she was
adopted to a new home and then they gave her
away to someone else, who then "dumped" her
again and one of our volunteers found her.
Poor baby; no bunny deserves to be treated
like that. We learned through her microchip
records that Abby is 4 years old and
spayed. She's very good with her litter box
and is currently living in an x-pen setup
which she would need in her new home. She
might even be a good "free run" bunny if you
bunny proof your home in advance. Abby
loves to cuddle and needs a home where she
will get a LOT of attention. We will be
interviewing carefully, as we want Abby to
go to a
very stable family
that will give her a 'forever' home and a
wonderful life. No more 'living on the
streets' for Abby! ** ADOPTED
