Willow

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!

Chocolat

 

Chocolat was surrendered to Rabbit Rescue after his owners were no longer able to care for him. He is now happily settled into foster care.
 
Chocolat is a very playful and affectionate rabbit, who enjoys running around and exploring. He is a pro at bunstruction, tearing apart cardboard and toilet paper rolls stuffed with hay. He always appreciates having small willow or apple branches to chew on. He absolutely loves people, when his foster parents come to greet him in the morning he’ll show how excited he is by performing multiple binkies in hopes he’ll get treats or pets! He is very affectionate and will groom his fosters and stuffed toys.
 
Chocolat is a rex rabbit so he is super silky soft! If he sounds like the bun for you, please consider applying to make him part of your forever family!

Leo

Leo is being surrendered to Rabbit Rescue through no fault of his own and is looking for a foster or adoptive home.

 

Leo is a very affectionate rabbit and likes pets and scritches. He loves playing and will pick up empty toilet paper rolls and throw them back at you. He also loves hay filled Kleenex boxes, cardboard hidey houses and small twigs to chew on. Leo is used to being around people of all ages and will do well in a home with gentle, patient kids.

 

Leo is not yet neutered or vaccinated but will be upon a successful foster or adoptive home.

Baby & Cinnabun

Baby & Cinnabun are looking for a special kind of caregiver in their forever home.  These sweet bunnies are brother and sister and have lived with their current caregiver since they were born. They are rex rabbits and are just over 2 years old. Their current caregiver is surrendering them as they cannot provide the proper care they need. These two bunnies love to be held, will give you lots of kisses and are just looking for a home to give them more attention. They constantly show each other affection by grooming each other and cuddling together. 

Baby was born with angular limb deformity. This causes him to “hop” around differently than other rabbits. His personality still shines through and he loves to be out of his house running around in his own unique way. He loves when you scratch his face for him and will give you lots of kisses as a thank you. He is a great eater and always gets excited for his dark leafy greens! He will always come up to you to see what you’re up to.

His sister Cinnabun is also very sweet. She has splaying of her front limbs, but moves around with ease. She loves to be held and pet and will cuddle with you while you pet her forever. She helps groom her brother and takes care of him. 

Cinnabun, female, is spayed. Baby, male, is not yet neutered, but will be (along with both of them receiving their RHDV vaccines) once an adopter is found.

If you have space in your heart and home for this sweet pair, apply to adopt today!

Essie

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 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 does 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, with binkies, zoomies, tons of chinning, and even kisses! 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.

Essie loves to run around and jump, so for this reason she should have as much free-roam time as possible. 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? Moving blankets, she needs to attack and grunt at them at all costs. Don’t adjust them for her either, she can do it herself because she’s a strong independent ladybun! Try not to be too far away from her though, because she does love her people. If you move to another room – she will follow you. Her favourite treat is banana, and oh boy does she have happy butt twitches when she gets it!

Essie is pretty good with her litter habits. She’s gotten better over time, but does tend to pee on “soft” things like dog beds and couches (though we think that’s because foster mom has 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!

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. We think Essie would be able to bond with another bunny, preferably one who was 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!

Ginger & Cookie

Ginger and Cookie are chameleons – at a glance, they may look identical, but when shedding season comes they’ll take turns shapeshifting and showing off the most amusing patterns, such as Ginger’s heart snoot and Cookie’s “pants.” They also have very decided pet preferences; Ginger is partial to front ear scritches while Cookie prefers a solid forehead rub. They will not be shy to boop you for more pets when they want them. They also will not hesitate to sass with some opinionated thumps! They are good with well behaved small dogs.

Ginger and Cookie are dainty divas with rabbitude! They are big on thumping their displeasure, which means you’ll never have to wonder what they think. You might even be able to hold a conversation with them based on thump-responses alone. It’s endless entertainment with these opinionated ladies!

Ginger and Cookie love their edible Timothy hut and have developed a taste for palm leaf chew toys and balls.They love hideaways and tight spaces and would love a tunnel or two or some hideaways for daytime. They very much enjoy their double-flop bed where they will chill out together for a midday snooze. They’ve had the chance to claim the underside of the couch and made themselves comfortable in their closet as well as any and all boxes they have access to. 

The girls are also connoisseurs of crunch — whether it be willow balls, timothy huts or palm leaf toys– and gourmands who prefer second cut Timothy hay and any type of pellets as long as they can share. Few things are as cute as their synchronized munching, so serving them is an honor. 

They did discover that the top of the hay bin was a great spot to sploot and survey their kingdom, so they might appreciate some sort of elevated spots where they can stake their ground. 

They are also natural entertainers; an open space is a zoomie paradise, and if you give them a few boxes and tunnels, there will be an endless amount of hopping, climbing and redecorating to their exact specifications.  

Ginger and Cookie came to the rescue after being placed on a euthanasia list at a Quebec shelter due to overcrowding. This sweet pair of wonderful buns are spayed, vaccinated, and ready to find their forever home!

Melody & Harmony

 

Melly & Harmy are a PERFECTLY PERFECT bonded pair of half sisters. (They have the same father, but different mothers). Heartbreakingly, they were originally purchased from a breeder, and then at just 7 months old, they were dumped at an over-capacity shelter. Since being rescued, they have both been spayed; and vaccinated against RHDV.

Melody (Melly)

  • Smooth velveteen dark chocolate brown fur, tan underbelly
  • Birthday: November 30, 2020

Harmony (Harmy)

  • Plush velvet grey and white fur
  • Birthday: December 5, 2020

These adorable girls are both unbelievably soft … pure velveteen bliss! Both bunnies are sooo+ sweet. They are curious and energetic; and gentle and friendly. Of the two, Melly is more outgoing; and Harmy is more cautious. These two lovebugs are always together:  eating, grooming, snuggling, and collaborating on impressive bunstruction projects. Melly’s favourite hobby is redecorating their enclosure; while Harmy’s favourite pastime is fluffing pillows. They love hopping through tunnels; and playing with willow balls and toilet paper rolls. They will wow you with their epic zoomies and binkies!

Melly & Harmy’s differences, explained in one paragraph:

They have completely opposite bunnyalities! Melly is outgoing and bold; while Harmy is shy and cautious. Melly is uber quick to get excited. She will always assume that you have a treat for them, and she will immediately beg, dance circles around you, gently nosey-bonk your ankles to make sure that you don’t forget that they need treats!  Harmy, (who does want the treats just as badly), will adorably watch Melly from a safe distance. She observes. She patiently waits to see IF it’s worth getting as excited as Melly. Once she is pretty certain that a treat will indeed materialize, THEN she will join in all of Melly’s hilarious antics!

One thing these girls have in common is a love of food!! For breakfast, and then again for dinner, they each devour 1/8th cup of Martin pellets. They have 24/7 access to Oxbow Western Timothy Hay, which they enjoy; and they both drink plenty of water from a bowl. Their daily salads are met with huge enthusiasm! Favourite greens include romaine lettuce, carrot tops, parsley, and cilantro. For treats (in disappointingly small quantities, according to Melly & Harmy), they love apples, bananas, carrots, and dehydrated strawberry pieces.

More things Melly & Harmy have in common:

  • Undying love for each other
  • A huge love affair with food
  • Excellent hearing! They can hear a banana being peeled in the other room; and they will never miss the sound of a crinkling bag
  • Perfect litter box habits
  • Adorable extracurricular activities
  • An obsession with all things cardboard
  • Loads of enthusiasm to help with chores, such as pillow-fluffing and blankie-rearranging
  • Above average BIQs (Bunny IQs)

They are sure to entertain you 24/7, and their Foster Mama is certain that they will make your heart go boom. These two angels have been patiently waiting for their true fur-ever home since July 2021. They deserve their Hoppily Ever After!

WHO will be the unbelievably lucky human to adopt them???

Cosmo

Cosmo is a sweet bunny who is looking for his forever home! He is with his owner who needs to surrender him to find him an adoptive home. He was born on August 20th, 2021 and is neutered, litter trained, and vaccinated against RHDV.

Cosmo is an outgoing bunny, with an independent and adventurous streak. He loves to explore, but also loves to chill around all day. He gets the zoomies every morning before breakfast and then will flop down for a nap for the next couple hours. He loves tunnels, pellets, cardboard boxes, his pink pig stuffy, and he especially loves being brushed! He enjoys sitting in front of the balcony door for fresh air. He is a fan of head pats, and will do anything for a bite of banana!

Cosmo will try to be tough at first, but once he is warmed up he is the sweetest bun you’ll ever meet. If he sounds like the bun for you, apply to adopt him today!

Stitch & Mertle

Meet Stitch & Mertle, the brother and sister duo! These two are with the owner who is looking to surrender them, and they are looking for their forever home. Stitch was born on June 19, 2021 and is neutered and vaccinated against RHDV. Mertle was born on August 20, 2021 and is vaccinated against RHDV. She will be spayed upon finding an adopter.

This adorable pair are the perfect example of monkey see, money do! Their favourite activities include eating hay, playing with rattles, running through their tunnel or just lounging around cuddling on their blankets. Although they are bonded, their personalities are quite different. Stitch is outgoing and a bit wild while Mertle is shyer and quieter. Stitch likes to run and jump and sit in his hay dispenser while Mertle likes to chill around and cuddle. Stitch definitely helps Mertle be braver which is why they are the best pair!

If this fun loving pair sound like the buns for you, apply to adopt them today!

Pleakley

Pleakley is a shy bunny who is looking for his forever home! He is with his owner who needs to surrender him to find him an adoptive home. He was born on August 20th, 2021 and is neutered, litter trained, and vaccinated against RHDV.

Pleakley is a shy guy who takes some time to warm up to new people. He is VERY food motivated though, and you can build his trust with treats (his favourite is apple!). Once he decides a new person isn’t scary, he looooves some good head pats.

He is a fan of sunbathing in the window, basking in the rays of sunshine. He also loves to run around and play in tunnels, hide under blankets, cuddle his stuffed pig, and play-fight with his cat friend. He really enjoys spending time with the cats in his current home.

This handsome bun is looking for his forever home – if he sounds like the bun for you, apply to adopt him today!

Ella

Meet sweet Ella, who is contemplating why she is still not adopted! Ella came to Rabbit Rescue in March 2022 after being dumped outside with a few other rabbits. She was quite a challenge to capture, as she knew her outdoor environment well – including all the hiding spots! 

Ella would like everyone to know that she is a perfectly pleasant rabbit. She may not have colourful spots or floppy ears, but don’t underestimate this lovely brown bun – she is such a wonderful girl!  She doesn’t mind pets or being picked up (like for nail trims), though she doesn’t always actively seek out attention. She does actively seek out treats and veggies though! Food is the way to her heart. Ella did not enjoy being contained in an x-pen and is much happier with a room of her own where she can free roam and explore. She will still test barriers to see if she can go on further adventures. Ella is a voracious reader, though to her that means helping you read by nibbling the corners of your books. She occasionally will nibble on fabric items or the carpet but for the most part leaves the furniture and baseboards alone.

Ella likes to greet each morning with binkies and Bunny 500’s, which can be heard throughout the house. This seems to be how she tells you she is waiting for her breakfast! Once she’s done her morning exercise and has had breakfast she lounges next to the window, enjoying the sunshine. Sometimes she likes to tuck herself in behind the curtains. 

She would likely do well with a submissive male bun to bond to but wouldn’t like a bossy companion. She doesn’t like to be pushed around! She would do well as a solo rabbit as long as she gets plenty of attention from her forever family. Ella has met dogs and is fine with them.

Ella is excited and ready to start the next chapter of her life with her forever family. She can’t wait for someone to apply to adopt her and offer her all the love she deserves!

Benji

Benji has been in foster care for 2 years, and is eagerly waiting for his forever home! He originally came from a shelter in Quebec after his time ran out and he has soaked up every minute of his second chance, loving pats, snuggles, and of course, yummy food!

He has perfect litter habits and gets very excited when it’s time for his greens,  pellets, and fresh hay top up. He LOVES his hay! Some of his favourite greens include dill, parsley, radicchio and cilantro. 

Though timid at first, Benji is the most gentle and sweet bun. Benji loves to be snuggled (with four paws on the ground, please and thank you), and tooth purrs when given head massages. His favourite activities are digging through a foraging box of Timothy hay to find treats and botanicals, exploring his new tunnels, nibbling on balsa wood chew toys and snoozing under the bed. 

In the mornings and at night Benji likes to hang out with his fosters in bed, nudging them for pats and doing binkies and zoomies to wake them up for his breakfast. 

Benji’s forever home will need to ensure that he has a dedicated space where he feels safe to eat, poop and snooze (he has a blanket fort in his foster home) and gets ample quiet time to adjust to his new surroundings. Benji’s fosters think that his ideal home would be a quiet space with a confident, affectionate lady bunny friend waiting for him.  

Tulle

From the very moment he arrived into foster care, Tulle has been the most friendly and gentle bunny who will greet you with nose boops, a kiss on the arm or cheek, and then will show you how fast he can zoom around the room in excitement!

Tulle came to Rabbit Rescue in August 2021 from a local shelter that reached out for help placing him in a foster environment as he wasn’t happy in the shelter – and we certainly understand why. Tulle loves to be around his people and does best when he has room to stretch his legs. He was born in the spring of 2021 and is neutered and vaccinated.

At the moment he doesn’t like head pats – he will sometimes give you a hard stare as if to say “that’s inappropriate!” but he accepts a human’s boop back at him. He is a great companion to hang out with – whether it’s watching TV, reading a book, or being entertained by him! Who doesn’t want 24/7 bunn-o-vision featuring Tulle!

To Tulle, humans make great jungle gyms. He likes to crawl under his foster mom’s knees when she sits down on the floor. He will then race through tunnels, turn corners, and when he’s tired he will flop on his side for a nap. He likes his time out and will often find a new spot near the wall for a snooze. He will also sniff his humans lots – he’s curious if they have a tasty snack and likes to double check in case they forgot to share. After all, snacks are for sharing! It’s the Tulle motto. He is a big fan of most greens, and will climb you like a ladder to get to them faster!

Tulle is a pretty brave bunny, though he sometimes gives a nervous look to the vacuum if it gets too close to his pellets. He once confided in his foster mom that he is the only vacuum she’ll ever need, and will gladly eat any stray pellets off the floor. He’s thinking of turning it into a career – door to door bun vacuum services. He is 100% certain there is a market. If you need a bunny to do a pellet on the floor inspection, Tulle is your bun!

Like most rabbits he is not a fan of being picked up, so grooming should be done with all four paws on the floor. Strange or distant noises outside the window can startle him, but don’t you worry, Tulle will warn everyone with a loud thump or two, until the coast is clear. He protects his humans and his favourite toys!

He likes to chew slippers and he does have a taste for delicious baseboards, so bunproofing is needed. However he does listen to his foster mom when she tells him “no” – he’s a clever boy!

If you’re looking for a buppy (bun-puppy), Tulle might just be the bun for you! He races to the door in the morning excited for pellets, which he likes to forage for in his treat board. He’s always happy and eager to see his people.

He’s funny, adorable and sweet, and eager to find his forever home. Don’t make him wait any longer, apply to adopt this wonderful bun!

Shadow and Birdie

Shadow (black) and Birdie (brown and white) are a lovely 9 year old bonded pair that were surrendered to a local shelter through no fault of their own. They are a friendly, well adjusted to roaming-life couple. Shadow was ready to play with his new foster family the minute he came out of his crate after leaving the shelter, Birdie was not far behind. They explored each room they had access to their first night as well. Overnight they are in an enclosure but during the day they free roam. In the morning when their foster mom comes to open it Shadow zooms out right away while Birdie is more interested in breakfast. 

If you’ve ever wanted a dog and a rabbit, Shadow is the perfect two-in-one combination for you! Shadow is a rabbit with a very dog-like personality. He is not afraid of new people and will love and show off to everyone who is holding a treat. Shadow gets very excited when he knows someone is going towards his area and will run up to greet you. He will follow you around when you’re nearby and will also come when called. He is not afraid of slippery surfaces (like wood floors) and will explore every space available to him. He is playful and loves attacking the dog beds and pillows in his home. He also loves running through and hiding in the curtains. Shadow does not mind being held (i.e. when it’s time for grooming) and will stay happily as long as there are treats. He might be 9 years old, but you won’t be able to tell. He’s a young at heart bun who loves doing binkies when he’s happy!

Birdie the light blue eyed beauty is the more timid one and usually follows Shadow’s lead in new places or when meeting new people. She sits beside/behind her partner when nervous or feeling shy. She does love a good full body pat or nose rub and responds to her name. She also likes having a cardboard box in her area to hide in. Surprisingly, Birdie is quite a vocal bunny! When displeased, she makes the cutest, tiniest grunts and whimpers when scared or upset and will sometimes run away wagging her tail. You’ll never have to guess what she is thinking! Noise cancelling headphones are recommended if you work from home next to Birdie, otherwise you’ll be distracted by all the cute little snores during her naptime. Although Birdie is more shy than Shadow, she also loves to play! She will also come out to greet you as far as the edge of the carpet and does so by standing in the most elegant way.

Both rabbits love treats and are capable of learning many tricks. So far, they know how to stand, spin, and hop onto your lap (or place their paws on your lap) for treats! They also love to chase from spot to spot for treats. Shadow will jump over items and onto different areas – he has the potential to excel in obstacle courses. Both bunns only drink from a bowl and enjoy a wide variety of greens and veg, especially parsley and dill. Birdie is the pickier eater of the two and only will need some time to try new treats. They eat pellets in the morning and evening. There was a medium size dog in their previous foster home and neither rabbit seemed alarmed when the dog was in the room and they even approached her for sniffs and greetings, so they would likely do well in a home with calm, friendly animals.

Shadow and Birdie are looking for a home to spend their golden years! If that’s you, apply to make them part of your forever family.

Piper

After 3 years in foster care, Piper is more than ready to find her forever home!

Piper was found outside as a stray and caught by wonderful volunteers. She loves being a house bunny. In fact, she did a series of elegant little binkies within minutes of being indoors. 

Piper doesn’t sit around! She is very playful, curious, smart, creative, loves stacking cups, her treat board puzzle, her treat ball with pellets, and even some cat toys!

Piper is obsessed with food. Sometimes she will race around the room and do binkies when she hears the sink running. She knows when it’s salad time! Next, she jumps up onto her hidey house to see what delicious greens are on the menu. She loves most greens especially cilantro and parsley. She will then give you a very serious stare as if to say “ahem, dinner is bit late but I’m being polite!”

Piper eats LOADS of hay and has perfect litter habits. She loves long apple branches – she’s smart and knows bunnies need safe things to look after their teeth! She creative and has even carved a willow stick into a heart!

Piper is a medium to big bunny – about 8 lbs. She soft and cuddly when she trusts you. She’s super active and does amazing popcorns and adorable zoomies. She likes a nose rub and ear massage. She does not like being brushed or nail trims, so she gets a treat after and doesn’t take long to forgive you. 

She likes to look out the window in the evening, sitting on a chair. In the afternoon she will snooze under it on the tile floor, pretending to sleep but really waiting for sounds of the treat jar. 

She sometimes likes to tunnel and get lost under a blanket. She’s always looking for something fun to do. 

Piper is into a bit of Feng Shui – she has moved her water bowl to the south wall and likes to make adjustments to her hidey house and hay box when necessary! 

When her foster mum comes home, Piper races around and then gets on her hind legs so her foster mom can blow her a kiss and then she does a happy adorable twirl. She knows it’s time for a few yummy pellets! 

Are you ready for action, cuddles and excitement? Then Piper is your gal! She is a funny, pretty and happy bunny. Anyone who adopts her is really lucky to share in her adorable antics and sweetness!
