Our biggest need is foster homes!
By opening your home to a foster rabbit, you help save a life.
You can read our Foster FAQs here, and download our Foster Application here.
Volunteer Driving
Become an occasional volunteer driver when we have an urgent situation. This could be driving a dumped bunny to a vet, shelter or foster home. Or it could entail picking up a rabbit from a shelter, or bringing a foster rabbit to a vet. We don’t require drivers often, but when we do its usually an urgent or time sensitive situation. If you would like to help email haviva@rabbitrescue.ca with your city, any driving limits for distance and contact information. If we have a situation that meets your criteria we may contact you to see if you are available.
Bunny Catchers
RR has teams in over 80 cities to help catch rabbits that are dumped outside. No experience is needed. Email us to join a team and indicate what cities you would like to help with. When we have an alert for a dumped bunny in that city, we will copy you on an email. Never an obligation to help, but if you can we appreciate it. Supplies that are helpful: nets, netting, sheets, carrier, box, blankets, rabbit food (pellets, hay, veggies, banana!), xpens, creative cubes/NICs. Email haviva@rabbitresue.ca to join.
Bunny Supply Donations
Thank you for thinking of us if you have supplies you no longer need and would like to donate. Email haviva@rabbitrescue.ca to let us know what you have and we can advice if we can use them, or direct you to a group that can.

Wills & Bequests
A will is a key part of leaving our life in good order. Before we cross the rainbow bridge we should know that our worldly assets will be in good hands and will be used for good purposes. For some of us, death may have special consequences. The life of a bunny or other fuzzy companion may be in jeopardy. Their proper care may be the utmost priority. These special friends may need immediate care, as well as new happy homes until they rejoin us across the rainbow bridge.
For the rest of us, death may be simpler, but we may still choose in our will to leave a legacy to help bunnies or other animals. In either case, Rabbit Rescue is prepared to work with you. Our primary goal is to help bunnies and other small mammals that are out of time at shelters. Our secondary purpose is to educate people about rabbits and ultimately prevent them from winding up at shelters in the first place. As part of your estate, you may wish to further these goals.
There are various ways to help bunnies in your will, such as:
- By making a bequest of a specific monetary amount
- By making a bequest of a specific asset, such as a stock, bond or property
- By making a bequest of a specific percentage of your estate
- By naming Rabbit Rescue Incorporated as a beneficiary of an asset such as a life insurance policy, RRSP or pension plan.
The legal form for a gift is best detailed by your lawyer. However, if you wish to include a legacy to Rabbit Rescue, the following language may be appropriate:
“To Rabbit Rescue Incorporated (Registered Charity 860959824 RR0001), of Cambridge, Ontario, Canada I bequeath the following ________________________, such amount/assets to be used for the general purposes of the organization.”
If you have already written a will, adding a gift for Rabbit Rescue Inc. is very easy. You can simply amend your will to include an extra bequest by making a codicil. Or you can rewrite your will to make sure all your wishes are up to date. All it takes is a phone call to your lawyer to start the process to make a lasting gift for the animals. Your estate will receive a tax receipt for the fair market value of any gift. Whatever your choice, please talk to us about your wishes. We will help if we can.
