Meet Carmy, a sweetheart of a little lionhead bunny looking for his forever home!

Carmy was rescued by his current foster parents after being kept in a small closet by himself in a barn on a chicken farm for several months. From what we know Carmy was used for breeding for the majority of his life (rough estimate is he is around 7+ years of age) until winding up in the barn he was rescued from. 

Despite the very sad and lonely conditions Carmy lived in for all of his life up until his rescue in April 2024, he is an incredibly sweet, curious and gentle little guy who has slowly been learning to enjoy living in a proper home and being spoiled! He is understandably still quite timid having spent most of his life without proper care or socialization. He can be easily spooked and wary of receiving pets or attention, but if you are patient and give him some gentle encouragement, he seems genuinely curious and wanting to engage with you. A little bribery with some of his favourite treats (banana or pellets) definitely helps though! 

While he is still learning to be more playful, he has developed a serious passion for enrichment activities where he has to search & solve puzzles to find treats. Carmy’s favourite way to spend every morning is foraging through a simple cardboard box filled with some balled up newspaper for a bit of hay or pellets sprinkled in! 

Even though we estimate Carmy to be around 7 years old, his personality makes him seem quite a bit younger. He is very mobile and bright bun without any apparent health issues. His fur grows fairly quickly and was quite matted when he was rescued but a bit of light combing and trimming is about as high-maintenance as Carmy gets. He’s also 95% litter-trained and likes to keep his space fairly tidy despite having lived in a barn! He seems pretty particular about the placement of his toys and his foraging box – if his foster parents ever move them while hanging out with him he resolutely moves it right back! 

While his quality of life has definitely improved since his rescue, Carmy’s foster parents think he could be a fantastic candidate to be paired with another bunny and could benefit from having another buddy to keep him company and help build his confidence and playfulness. He’s quite a docile and submissive little guy who we think could easily bond with another bun as long as they aren’t too pushy or aggressive!

This wonderful little floof truly deserves to spend the rest of his life in a home where he will never be lonely or neglected again. Please consider applying to make him part of your forever family!

Custard is being surrendered to Rabbit Rescue through no fault of his own, and is looking for an adoptive home. 

Custard was born February 9, 2022. He is not yet neutered or vaccinated but will be upon adoption.

Custard is a very friendly rabbit who loves to be pet. He is very curious and loves being at home with his people. He is mostly pretty calm and loves cuddle time as much as his alone time.

He is a very food motivated bun and loves his pellets, lettuce, and the occasional treat of carrot and banana.

You’ll never have to wonder if Custard is happy, he’ll show you by doing some epic binkies! He enjoys free roaming where he can stretch out to relax, or jump around having a good time.

Custard is very friendly and would make a wonderful addition to your family! If he sounds like the bun for you, please apply to adopt him today!

Moo Moo came from a shelter in Quebec after his time ran out. He was saved in the nick of time by a foster home and he is now looking for his forever home!

Since arriving into foster care, Moo Moo has been loving his new life. He can be shy at first, but loves to give nose bonks. He is an expert at exploring, flopping for naps, and enjoying all the yummy hay. His litter box habits are slowly improving but will likely improve greatly once he is neutered later this month.

Stay tuned as we learn more about this sweet boy!

Rascal (white, father) and Cloud Puff (grey, son) are a super sweet bonded pair that were rescued from a family that could no longer care for them. They were left alone in a garage and housed in filthy conditions. Since being rescued, they love having lots of space to stretch and cuddle with each other.

Rascal and Cloud Puff are very very sweet to each other. You can tell they are related because they both have the most beautiful eyelashes!

Since being neutered their litter box habits have improved drastically, and accidents are very rare. They are learning that human touch is safe and while they don’t always seek out human attention, they are becoming used to love and pats.

They are bigger buns (6 and 8 pounds) and they have adjusted well to having more space. They were confined to a small cage for so long that they now need lots of space to run around. The first time they were ever let out of the cage they showed off their excitement with some amazing binkies!

The person who saved them is seeking assistance in finding a forever home for them. They had them neutered and health checked. Rabbit Rescue will have them vaccinated once an adopter is found. These sweet boys have been through so much hardship in their lives, they deserve a wonderful forever home that will spoil them rotten and show them all the love they deserve. If that’s you, please apply to adopt them today!

Caramel Latte came from a shelter in Quebec after he was placed on a euthanasia list due to overcrowding. His neuter surgery and vaccine appointments are upcoming.

Caramel Latte is a little sweet, cuddle bun who is just as happy laying in his tunnel relaxing as he is under someone’s adoring, petting hands. He loves head to bum pats (a fully body patter as his foster likes to call him). He is also, hands down, the softest rabbit in existence which makes petting him even better for everyone involved. He’s got a very sweet disposition, is naturally curious and will want to explore and understand everything in his environment. He loves food, and eats hay, pellets, and greens very well. His litter habits are coming along but once he gets settled into a new space we’re sure those will iron themselves out. He’s a stunning pretty boy and would make a wonderful addition to any family home as he’s gentle, and a big sweetie with a ton of personality. 

If Caramel Latte sounds like the bun for you, apply to adopt him today!

Gandalf the Grey came from a shelter in Quebec after he was placed on a euthanasia list due to overcrowding. Since arriving into foster care, he has been receiving ongoing veterinary care due to his head tilt. The hope is that, with continued medical care, he will continue to improve.

Gandalf the Grey, or Big Grey as his foster mom has nicknamed him, has been through a lot. Despite the health challenges he’s facing, we are seeing some of his personality start to peak out as he gets stronger and stronger. He’s a big Flemish boy with an appetite to match and will act as though he hasn’t eaten in DAYS every time pellets or greens arrive. The drama is real with this big suck – he hates getting his eye drops put in and will dramatically roll over whenever you come near him with the bottle, only to pop back up again if he hears a bowl of pellets rattle or a snack bag crinkle. He will lay his head on your hand during pats time and is just the sweetest, gentle giant.

Gandalf gets oral medications twice daily as well as eye drops to help him fight to get better. Despite his tilt, he is a clever bun who works hard to maintain his independence. Due to his tilt, Gandalf lives primarily in a dog crate that is lined with soft blankets and a large flop bed to help him keep his balance. He eats and drinks on his own – though he loves to be hand fed. 

August Update:

Gandalf’s journey continues to be one requiring patience and consistency. He’s improved significantly from day one where he was immobilized by his head tilt. He now moves freely within an x-pen. His litter habits are generally pretty good, although when he’s feeling dizzy he tends to hang out in his litter box, and poop next to it. He’s a great eater and is incredibly food motivated. He drinks from a side hanging water bottle and he loves it. 

Gandalf’s entire world is on it’s side, so it’s important to approach him in a way that lets him know you are a safe person. He’s shown some pen aggression if you move your hand in front of his face too quickly (he looks up with one eye and doesn’t have the same field of vision as normal bun has), so his foster mom generally strokes and holds his head while she cleans or puts down food. 

He still rolls but can righten himself. He is on two medications daily (~every 12 hours) which he takes pretty well. We’re still working with vets to figure out how best to continue his care but he’s a fighter and wants to stick around. 

He’s generally very sweet, and wants the chance to get better and better. 

Gandalf is neutered, vaccinated, and looking for a special forever family that understands his unique needs. Gandalf is available for adoption, but is also looking for a foster home! Apply today to make this special bun a part of your family.

Adorable Leo is looking for his forever home!

Leo is a sweet and quiet 4 year old lionhead bunny who is being surrendered to Rabbit Rescue as his family is no longer able to keep him.

Leo loves hanging out in his pen, but he gets his zoomies out with a big run around once a day. He loves hay and to share a bite of banana.

Leo is a calm bunny, who appreciates cuddle time and his alone time. He is a gentle spirit, often befriending other animals in the home with ease.

Unfortunately Leo has moved around quite a bit through no fault of his own. His next home will be his fourth. His first owner was unaware of how to take care of a rabbit and he experienced neglect. He was confined to a small cage, not provided the correct food, and frequently submerged in water. His second home kept him temporarily until he made his way to his current home two years later. His current family has provided him with a great environment and adores him, but due to changing circumstances can no longer keep him. They are hoping that Leo finally gets to find his wonderful forever home to spoil him with all the love and care he deserves!

Brandy and Burberry were surrendered to Rabbit Rescue through no fault of their own. Brandy came to Rabbit Rescue after being dumped outside. She was adopted and introduced to Burberry and they quickly bonded. 

When they say opposites attract, they were talking about these two!

Burberry is a gentle soul, a laid back bun who enjoys head rubs and kisses. Brandy is feisty and full of personality.

Burberry loves to dig and chew hard things (including bun-safe toys made of wood and palm). Brandy likes to dig soft things, like fabrics, blankets, towels etc. Burberry can be choosy with his vegetables and hay, but Brandy eats everything! They are both big fans of hay, and will eat it at record speed!

During nap time, you can find Burberry sound asleep flopped on his side with his eyes closed. Brandy prefers to sleep in the loaf position and rarely closes her eyes completely, keeping a safe lookout for the two of them.

Burberry is an expert jumper, and can be found jumping on boxes, chairs etc. Brandy much prefers to have all 4 feet on the ground.

They have in common a love for pellets, bananas, and their nighttime forage mix. They will sit by the gate and stare right at their foster humans at food time, just to make sure they don’t forget!

They are also really warming up in foster care and have become accepting of lots of pats. Foster humans also make excellent furniture, and they aren’t shy about climbing on them to get a better view!

Burberry was born February/March 2021 and Brandy is roughly the same age.

These two cuties are fixed, vaccinated, and are ready to find their forever home!

Crunchy is a lovely rabbit who has endured more than his fair share of hardship so far in his life. This little guy was abandoned outside and spent several weeks living in the bushes outside a Crunch Fitness facility. Over that time he picked up fleas, ticks and a cuterebra bot fly. He likely also went through a tornado – yes you read that right! Two weeks before his capture an EF0 tornado blew through directly across the street from the bushes he had been calling home! Needless to say he likes to seek shelter in a safe space when he hears storms rolling by outside now.

Crunchy started out his time in foster care quite shy, however it appears that being housed on ‘lava’ (tile floors with blankets) was a major barrier to him discovering his confidence. After being moved to a carpeted room he has show his true colours! He loves exploring and likes to express that he thinks he should have even more space by looking for ways to escape. He loves to zoom around, and lounge under the furniture. He will still retreat to a covered space if startled but is much braver than he was. He will happily come over for treats and food, though he takes some coaxing to accept pets and does not like to be picked up when it’s time for grooming. He seems to like hopping up on the couches to see what’s going on up there and even if it means landing on a human or dog in the process! Crunchy loves to toss his food bowl around, and is particularly skilled at getting it to land in his water bowl. He seems to prefer the bowl to most actual toys. He does enjoy a good crunch on palm-based chews.

He loves his pellets and has a good appetite for first-cut timothy hay (he thinks second cut is not as good!). He likes most greens other than Swiss Chard which he refuses to touch. His litter habits have been generally quite good. He would likely be a good candidate for bonding to a confident but not pushy/aggressive female.

If Crunchy sounds like the bun for you, apply to make him part of your forever family!

Meet the incredible Hulk! This bigger (3 kg) rabbit has a personality even bigger than his size. Hulk likes to show off his strength by tossing his carrier around. Puny x-pens are no match for his strength: he had to be moved from a standard x-pen to an extra heavy duty one and finally to a large dog crate because he decided it was fun to push the x-pens around the room, and he learned how to open them despite securely clamping the doors closed! He is hoping that his forever home will give him plenty of space to roam. He would make an excellent free roaming bun!

Hulk is an active bunny, and he is always right by the crate door when it’s time for his nighttime exercise, waiting to come running out. It took him no time at all to start doing happy flops in foster care. He likes to be pet and have his ears rubbed. He absolutely loves his flop bed! Most of the time he lounges in his bed in its intended fashion, other times he uses it as a fort for sleeping in. He is overall a happy, goofy guy.

His litter habits are reasonably good; he pees in his litterbox consistently but he does tend to scatter a few poops around the crate and exercise area. Nothing that can’t be handled by a quick sweep with the broom! He loves veggies and hay, as well as pellets as long as they are Martin’s brand – he says anything else is not worth touching!

If you’re looking for a friend for your girl bun, Hulk would love to join your family! He thinks he should actually have been named Hunk, as he has a lot to offer a potential bun-wife. He heard there was a female bun in his foster home and did his best to go visit her despite pesky barriers in his way. He would likely do well with most female buns, though he can be very forthcoming with his love so a super shy bunny might be overwhelmed by all the love he has to give. Overall, he’s likely very bondable to most female buns if proper bonding steps are taken.

Hulk loves people and being around them and would do well in a home where he gets lots of human interaction. This sweet boy is looking for a foster or adoptive home. Apply today!

Hope came to Rabbit Rescue from a shelter in Quebec after being placed on the euthanasia list with her four babies. Since arriving into foster care, Hope has proven to be a very sweet and funny bunny. She is vaccinated against RHDV and she is spayed. She was born early spring 2023. Her litter habits are perfect!

Hope, also known as Funny Bunny or Princess Bun, is a beautiful, sensitive, and adorable bun with a very curious nature and a passion for refurbishing cardboard boxes. Her current favorite hobbies (aside from tearing up cardboard) are trading a trick for a treat, booping people with her cute nose, doing zoomies and binkies around the living room, jumping on and off the couch, then after a long hard day of exploration, adorably laying like a pancake with her legs splayed behind her. She loves to just chill beside her humans and really enjoys forehead scritches but only with a trusted person. Hands-off bonding time with her human will help her to gain trust and build comfort. Hope needs lots of time to free roam or she becomes easily bored. She enjoys stretching her legs and having space to explore!

She is a true foodie, after her foster bun mom’s heart. She is an excellent eater and drinker. Her current favorite things to eat are dill, cilantro, bananas, strawberries, and banana flavoured rabbit treats. You’ll find her quietly nibbling her pellets and hay at all hours of the day and night. Her foster mom isn’t even sure that she sleeps! She’s a bun with things to do and food to eat. When she hears her foster mom shaking the rabbit treat box, she comes running enthusiastically.

She would do well in a relatively quiet house as she is wary of strangers and somewhat wary of loud noises.

She will make an excellent best friend to her new human and requests a patient, loving person to earn her trust.

Willow is a sweet girl who loves the company of people! She often runs up to her enclosure walls to greet you with loving honks of excitement. She loves endless head pats and cheek rubs and will reward you with kisses anywhere she can squeeze them in. If you’re looking for bunny love, look no further than Willow!

Willow weighs about five pounds and was born in 2022. She came to Rabbit Rescue from a local overfull shelter that needed help after she’d been surrendered by her previous owner.

Willow likes to spend the day playing with tunnels, digging through her hay and litter, and resting in her hidey house. She’s a sassy lady who will let you know exactly how she likes her things placed. Recently, she got a new toy: stacking cups! She’s a smart girl who quickly figured out how to look for hidden pellets in the layers of her stacking cups. 

She loves her greens, especially basil, mint and parsley. Blueberries, strawberry, and apple flavoured bunny cookies are her favourite treats. She’ll eat any of them out of your hand and gently grab hand fed pellets. 

She’s got a spacious enclosure where she plays with her toys and runs zoomies at night. In the evening, she gets free roam time outside of her enclosure and is so excited to play, sprint around, binky and explore. She can be a little bunstructive as she likes to chew and sniff new things in her surroundings so she needs a home where she can safely do that. With proper bunproofing, Willow would make a fantastic free roam bunny.

She’s become comfortable with exposure to seeing cats and their scents, but doesn’t show much interest in having contact with them yet. She loves to groom her foster parents but hasn’t shown much interest in stuffed animals. She would do ok as a solo bunny or bonded to a laid-back male bun.

If Willow sounds like the bun for you, apply to make her part of your forever family!

 Essie (for S.C. – Second Chance) is a very cute, sassy, and feisty lop-eared bunny who has a lot of love to give!

Essie would be a wonderful free-roaming bunny. She loves to run around and jump onto furniture, and show off epic binkies and zoomies! Her favourite spot is the cat tree (minus the cats of course). She loves to dig at the bottom and flop. Her least favourite thing? The vacuum, it’s her mortal enemy. She also enjoys redecorating and reorganizing her space, her foster family calls it her “bun-shui”. Don’t try helping her either, she can do it herself because she’s a strong independent ladybun!

Essie loves her people dearly. She’ll follow you around, mostly so you continue to give her pets, or she’ll beg with those big bunny eyes for some treats. Her favourite treat is banana, and oh boy does she have happy butt twitches when she gets it! If you lay down with her, you’ll definitely get a lot of love in the form of many chins and even kisses.

Essie is pretty good with her litter habits. She’s gotten better over time, but will sometimes pee on “soft” things like dog beds and couches (though her foster mom thinks that’s because they have other animals so Essie needs things to smell like her too). She’ll occasionally poop outside of her litter box, but it’s still contained within her “home base” xpen. Speaking of litter, she likes to dig and lay down in it, so either cleaning it daily or having a soft grate-system would help.

Essie came to Rabbit Rescue after she was placed on a euthanasia list at a shelter in Quebec after being returned twice for biting, and given only days to live. Unfortunately she does have a bite history, and she can bite hard. There’s a few reasons behind it! Poor Essie had a double middle ear infection, which has since cleared up, but imagining the pain she must have been in it’s no wonder she was biting. She also can’t hear very well, so if she is “snuck up” on, she may turn around and bite. However, she’s definitely gotten used to her foster mom approaching and just wants to spin around with excitement when approached now.

Despite her bite history, Essie has come such a long way! With her double ear infections gone, she no longer lunges or bites at her foster mom, but will nibble from time to time to get her attention or tell her she’s in the way (the sass!). Essie needs someone who is willing to be patient as she adjusts to a new environment. It is absolutely worth it because earning her trust means you will see her live her best life. You know you’re her human when she sits there and lets you pluck her fur tufts from the “danger zone”, which happens to be by that itsy bitsy dewlap under that cute bun-mouf.

It is important for anyone interested in adopting Essie to be prepared to work with her to make her feel safe and secure – and be willing to commit to her forever, even if she can be a bit bite-y. She is currently in a foster home that is working hard to show her that humans are safe so she can warm up and be more comfortable. While Essie is available for adoption, it is important to know that Essie may bite when scared/startled and needs a loving, patient home who understands her unique personality. She would do best in a home without young children and other pets, as she can be territorial with other non-rabbit animals, though she is tolerant of respectful cats. We think Essie would be able to bond with another bunny, preferably one who is more submissive and calm.

She more than makes up for her unique quirks by being a truly special bun. Essie deserves a wonderful family to call her own, and we hope her perfect forever home is reading this and is willing to take a chance on this second chance bun!
