Ruby
Big-eared Ruby has been in foster care now for almost 4 weeks, and she settled in very quickly! Her personality is really starting to shine through now that she’s figured out her new routines. After living in a tiny cage for the last year, it took less than a week for this newly free bun to become litter trained! Now she gets to roam free and explore outside her pen for extended periods. She loves going under furniture and through anything that resembles a tunnel. Taking naps under the coffee table seems to be one of her favourite things.
Ruby also seems to enjoy classical music, and relaxes quickly when it’s playing. She often stands up on her back legs to see what happened to it when it stops. She is still learning that hay is meant to be her main food source, but is slowly eating more and more every day. Pellets and fresh Parsley are still her favourites, but her foster mom is offering more options each week.
Ruby loves people! There hasn’t been a person she’s met who she hasn’t instantly taken to, and she often requests the attention of humans by knocking her bowls together or whacking a toy on the floor. Each time a human is near, Ruby excitedly does laps in her pen while humming and snorting. She’s been spending time with a very energetic (and sometimes loud) 4 year old boy lately, who she happily hops around, lays next to, and sniffs when he’s around. Her favourite part about humans is when they sit on the floor and she gets to use them as jungle gyms. A bent leg quickly becomes a tunnel and an outstretched leg, a launch pad. She’s a real parkour bunny! And if you see her, don’t forget the face and ear scratches! Ruby loves to be pet; especially on her nose, behind her ears, and her cheeks. She settles right down and usually closes her eyes for a good face scratching. Although, if you stop, she will make sure you know that you must continue by way of gentle nibbles or a bop with the nose.
Ruby will be a wonderful forever bun for a family who has lots of time to give her the attention and hands-on love she needs. She does well on her own for a few hours each day, but she really does prefer being included and hanging out with humans. She’s not been around other animals, but she loves people and children who are respectful and gentle with her.
Ruby is in a temporary foster home and needs a foster or adoptive home!

Shadow
Shadow is an adventurous 10 year old bunny that was surrendered to a local shelter with his bonded partner Birdie through no fault of their own. Sadly, Birdie recently passed away and Shadow is mourning her loss. He is a wonderful husbun and hopes to find love again in his golden years. He would benefit from the comfort of a bunwife as he navigates this new chapter of his life.
Shadow is outgoing and playful, and when he first arrived into his foster home he wasted no time making himself at home, zooming out of his crate on day one and diving headfirst into exploring every nook and cranny.
Shadow’s dog-like personality makes him a perfect companion for anyone who loves animals with big hearts and even bigger enthusiasm. He will eagerly greet you when you enter the room and isn’t shy about showing off his playful side. Whether he’s pouncing on pillows, investigating new spaces, or zipping across slippery floors with fearless determination, Shadow brings energy and joy to every moment. Shadow previously lived with a medium-sized dog in a different foster home and did not seem alarmed when the dog was around, and even approached her for sniffs and greetings! Despite being 10 years old, his energy and frequent binkies prove he’s still young at heart!
He loves greens, especially parsley and dill, and hopes to find a bun to share his meals and snacks.
If you have a girl bun looking for a wonderful husbun, please consider Shadow!
Charlie
Meet Charlie, an adorable brown mini Rex with a heart as soft as his velvet-like fur! This sweet little guy is as gentle as can be and makes the perfect companion for anyone who wants a low-key, lovable friend. He will melt into your touch when you pet him and even leans in for more affection.
Charlie is being surrendered to Rabbit Rescue through no fault of his own and is looking for a forever family!
One of the most delightful things about Charlie is how he shows his excitement. Whether it’s fresh lettuce, his daily pellets, a handful of hay, or you stooping down to say hello, he’ll reward you with happy little binkies and zoomies that are guaranteed to make you smile. His curiosity shines when he’s given the chance to explore; he loves hopping around his large pen or free-roaming in search of cozy nooks where he can relax, flop over, and let his troubles drift away.
Grooming time is a special bonding moment for Charlie. He adores the feeling of a soft brush through his fur, which not only keeps him looking handsome but also gives him the one-on-one attention he cherishes. Watching him unwind as he gets brushed is truly heartwarming.
Charlie is great at using his litter box and is overall a very neat bun. He loves playing with all of his chew toys and makes a game of it by nudging them around the place between chews – it’s super cute!
Charlie is a gentle, affectionate rabbit who would thrive in a calm, loving home that can give him the space to roam and explore. He’ll make an amazing addition to any family ready to embrace his curious, playful, and endearing personality. With Charlie, every day is filled with little moments of joy, and he can’t wait to share them with his forever family!
Diamond
Diamond came to Rabbit Rescue from a local shelter that needed help as they could not provide her with the care she required. Originally found in an alleyway as a stray, Diamond wobbled and fell over quite a bit, and it was suspected she had neurological issues.
Once in foster care, Diamond saw a vet for an assessment and diagnostics and began treatment. It is unknown what has caused her condition, however she greatly improved on medication. At her last vet visit, they deemed her stable but that her wobbling would be permanent. Despite this, Diamond has not once let it slow her down. She still loves to hop around and play, and if she falls over, she gets right back up. She has a large open pen with pillows to help support her, but requires minimal accommodations.
Diamond loves the kitties in her foster home, giving them kisses, which they gladly return. She would likely do really well in a home with other gentle, friendly animals, or bonded to a social, sweet male bunny.
Her foster mom encourages her to build and strengthen her muscles through gentle massage and physiotherapy type work of practicing lifting her legs by activating her muscles.
As soon as Diamond arrived into foster care, she showed off how gentle she is, and she wants to spend every moment she can with her foster humans. She will lay in your lap, give you kisses, or make you laugh with her bright, funny personality. She loves to be held while her foster mom is sitting on the ground, likely because it makes her feel more secure in her body.
Diamond is full sized but quite small – but don’t let that fool you – she has a BIG appetite! She loves her pellets and her veggies, eating them up as quickly as she can.
Being a special needs bunny, Diamond needs a bit more attention and work than other bunnies, but that just makes her all the more lovely. She is brave and courageous, regularly showing how thankful she is for a second chance.
She’s a clever bun, and knows to use pillows to help support her when she’s extra wobbly. Sometimes she gets frustrated when she falls over, but it just makes her more determined to keep getting back up and trying again. Every day she is getting stronger and uses her support pillows less and less. She can even binky, and does so regularly to show off how happy she is!
Diamond will be spayed at the end of January, and her litter box skills will likely improve afterwards. Right now she is still figuring them out but she is fantastic at making sure to pee in her litter box.
Diamond LOVES apple sticks, though she can be picky about other toys.
She truly is a special bunny who deserves a special forever home!
Stella
This lucky little bunny was rescued from a shelter in Quebec after being placed on the euthanasia list due to overcrowding, and has found her way to a cozy foster home with Rabbit Rescue! She is now looking for someone special to give her a forever home.
Stella is the perfect mix of gentle and playful, always ready for a nighttime adventure. She loves to explore and is curious about everything around her, including her foster kitty sibling, with whom she quickly became friends.
She’s an excellent eater and enjoys both hay and pellets. Her current favorite veggies are dill, parsley, cilantro, and crunchy romaine lettuce. She also loves chewing on apple sticks and hay cubes, keeping herself busy. Additionally, her litter box habits are impeccable.
When Stella first arrived at her foster home, she was shy and anxious around people. However, she’s slowly learning to trust humans and is starting to enjoy being petted. Now, she eagerly runs over at the sound of the treat box shaking, sometimes even hopping onto her foster mom’s lap for treats.
Stella is smart and absolutely adorable! She would thrive in a quieter home with a patient friend who can help her build a loving bond. With a little extra time and love, Stella will become your wonderful companion! If you’re interested in this sweet girl, please apply to make her part of your forever family.
Noah
Noah came to Rabbit Rescue from a shelter in Quebec where he was scheduled to be euthanized due to overcrowding. While his past remains a mystery, it’s likely that, like many other rabbits, he was abandoned outside when his family no longer wanted him. Fortunately, he was rescued and is now adjusting well in his foster home.
This little bunny was given a second lease on life and he’s determined to live it to his fullest. He enjoys waging war against his slinky, tossing his toys, lounging in the sun streaming through the windows and settling in for pets. His a quick learner and has mastered standing on two legs and doing a twirl for treats.
Noah is a thoughtful bunny that takes time to warm up to his humans but when he does, he kisses their nose and steals their hearts. He’s incredibly smart – he even outperformed his foster siblings by solving a treat puzzle in just 20 seconds! He has also mastered the trick of sitting up for treats and now eagerly stands whenever his foster mom enters the room, anticipating yummy rewards.
Noah has impeccable litter habits and is very particular about his litter box, often seen tidying it up throughout the day. He also takes great care of his toys, ensuring that his slinky and ball are always in their designated spots whenever they’re moved. According to his foster mom, Noah is the best roommate anyone could ask for. He keeps his area neat, is considerate of his humans, and remains quiet at night while they sleep.
Noah’s currently taking applications to adopt a human. If you think you’d be a good match for this handsome boy, apply to adopt him today!
Arya
Arya was originally found as a stray but came to Rabbit Rescue after being put on a euthanasia list at a shelter in Quebec due to overcrowding. She is now settled into her foster home where she enjoys lots of free roam time, exploring, zooming, binking, and sinking her teeth into a variety of chew toys provided by her foster family.
Arya is a sweet, but slightly shy gal. Once she warms up to you, she will accept pets and even head kisses, but no fast movements as she does startle easily! Arya will even reciprocate and give you some hand kisses once she is super comfortable. She even gives her foster mom head kisses back sometimes if she is laying on the floor with her! This is most likely in the evenings which is her favourite time to have her human company close by hanging out with her. If you sit or lay on the floor with her, she will come up to you and give you sniffs and boops while exploring. She is not much of a snuggler and doesn’t like to be picked up when it’s grooming time, but that doesn’t stop her from showing affection to her human pals. Arya would definitely benefit from a companion bunny as well.
She is an active girl in the mornings and evenings and spends most of her daytime outside of her pen. She loves to free roam and isn’t scared of hard flooring or stairs. Between 12-6pm, she mostly naps under the couch but in her active time, you will see her sniffing around, playing with her stacking cups or even flipping over her foraging mat to spill the goodies within. She is one smart bun! Oh and – lots of zoomies and binkies are on the itinerary too!
Arya loves her fresh salads, especially cilantro, parsley and other herbs. She loves a piece of baby carrot too, and likes to exhibit her strength when she pulls it right out of your hand. She loves her pellets but can be easily swayed to eat more hay by switching up its location. She likes to find little piles and cup-fulls around the house. Giving her the sense of accomplishment in “finding” her food has seemed to encourage her to eat more of her hay to ensure she is as healthy as possible.
Her litter habits are fantastic, making the 12 hours of daily free roam time easy to manage. She is a great candidate for a free roam bunny if that is what you’re hoping for! Make sure to cover your cords, as she is quite curious. In her earlier days in foster care, she did take a liking to the baseboards, but it has since been better managed by ensuring Arya always has lots of satisfying chew toys around including timothy hay cubes and apple sticks.
Aside from all that cuteness, Arya is so fun to just watch. She is always hopping or flopping and is quite an adorable little friend to have around the home. If she sounds like the bun for you – apply to adopt her today!
Barnaby & Talulah
Meet Barnaby & Talulah, a bonded pair of siblings who are looking for their forever home!
Barnaby (white) and Talulah (grey) are being surrendered to Rabbit Rescue through no fault of their own. They are neutered/spayed, vaccinated against RHDV, and recently received a clean bill of health.
Barnaby is the sister of the pair and Talulah is the brother of the pair.
Talulah is a spirited little bun with the cutest white belly. He loves head scratches and enjoys romaine lettuce and the occasional piece of kale.
Barnaby is the boss bun of the two, though with humans she can be more timid. There is nothing she loves more than cuddling with Talulah.
They are both big fans of exploring paper shopping bags, burrowing under blankets, playfully chasing each other, napping in the sun, and of course doing bunstruction with cardboard boxes.
They have been free roaming since they were 2 months old and are fully litter box trained. They are comfortable with children that are respectful of their space.
Apply today to make this adorable pair part of your forever family!
Patrick George
Patrick George is at another rescue that needs help finding him safe placement in a forever home! He was surrendered to their care when his family moved and could not take him. He had been living in a barn stall at a horse farm for the majority of his life with little handling.
Since being rescued, he is slowly coming out of his shell but can still be shy/nervous. He would do well getting one on one attention to help him warm up. He is a very sweet bunny, he is just learning to trust people.
Patrick George is food motivated, and loves his hay, pellets and greens. He is nearly 100% litter box trained and will likely have perfect litter box skills once he is neutered.
He is easy to handle for grooming and was a very cooperative bun during his health check. He is a healthy bunny with no present concerns.
Patrick George is a special bunny who deserves a wonderful forever home. Apply to adopt him today!
We are also accepting foster applications for him at this time as he needs help with socialization and one on one attention.
Iris
Iris is a sweet, playful, energetic bunny who was rescued from a kill shelter in Quebec at the 11th hour. She was so happy to be safe in her foster home after her long journey, she did an adorable binky on the first night! She immediately showed what a loving bunny she is, not hesitating to accept pets and give nudges. She loves to chew on her grass mat and willow ball too, and lick her stuffies (and her foster’s slippers!). She is a super curious little bun who is always checking out the pet mice she shares a room with.
Iris has great litter box habits and would make the perfect free-roaming bunny! She can easily escape an x pen so she’d need a more secure enclosure if not free roaming. Iris loves to jump all over furniture and do binkies and zoomies. One of her favourite activities is hopping up onto the nightstand and tearing up a tissue from the kleenex box. She also likes to relax on her blanket with her feet up or as a perfect little loaf.
Iris weighs 1.78kg and received a dental trim upon her arrival at Rabbit Rescue. Likely her dental issues were as a result of a poor diet and now that she has access to all the hay she could ever want, her teeth will likely remain stable. She enjoys pellets and fresh hay and is a huge fan of lettuce.
Iris is a big fan of her morning pellets! She shows off her excitement by doing hilarious spins while waiting for them to be poured into her bowl!

Carl
Meet Carl, a sweet and sometimes shy rabbit looking for his forever home! Carl was rescued from a shelter in Quebec where he narrowly escaped euthanasia due to overcrowding. Since arriving into foster care in July, he has flourished into a well-mannered, free-roaming companion.
Carl is one year old, neutered and vaccinated. He has excellent litter habits and isn’t destructive, making him an easy-going house bunny. Carl loves hay, pellets, and fresh greens like basil and cilantro, and gets especially excited for mealtime with his foraging mat and stacking cups.
Carl enjoys doing binkies and zoomies, but is still shy when it comes to human touch. He warms up slowly to new people and prefers to be admired from a distance or on his own terms. Carl would do best in a calm, patient home and would likely do well with a female bunny buddy for companionship.
If you’re looking for a gentle, quirky bunny to add to your family, Carl might be the perfect match for you!
Fiona
Meet Fiona! She was found by a shelter in Quebec after being dumped in the woods. After her time almost ran out at the shelter she was saved by a wonderful Rabbit Rescue foster home. Since arriving into foster care, she is a big fan of naps, loves to stretch out her hind legs, and enjoys lots of hay and her pellets.
Fiona loves to rest her head on her dewlap, this is the largest dewlap many volunteers (and even her vet!) have seen, and it acts as the perfect pillow. Fiona is a large girl at about 5 kg!
At Fiona’s spay surgery, it was discovered that she had Hydrometra, meaning her uterus had filled with clear fluid. It weighed about 1 pound when it was removed. Hydrometra is painful, and prior to her spay Fiona was picky about where she would allow her foster family to pet her. Her spay was curative and she has not had any issues since.
Fiona has been in foster care for about 6 months now and her spay was about 4 months ago. Since then, she has become so much braver and happier! Her foster parents can pet her in areas she previously didn’t allow, including her sides. She loves to explore and lounge about the house, doing the occasional binky and bunny parkour.
She really wants to be with people and will jump on the couch to try and be with you, even if she doesn’t like the feelings of the cushions. She’s also done really well with meeting new people and is quite curious about them. Her favourite greens are parsley and cilantro, although she loves just about any food (including bananas now!) and is always eager for a loop or bit of dried apple. You can usually find her flopped on her side somewhere in the home office or living room. She isn’t the biggest fan of people being in her pen or trying to refill the food dishes but she is improving every day. She would likely make an excellent free roaming bunny. Fiona does really well on her own, but could also be a bonding partner to a very submissive, laid back male bun.
Fiona has come such a long way since coming to Rabbit Rescue, and now it is time for her next great adventure – finding her forever home. Apply to adopt her today!
Charlotte
Charlotte came to Rabbit Rescue from a shelter in Quebec after she was placed on a euthanasia list due to overcrowding. Given only days to live, she was saved in time by a wonderful foster home.
Charlotte (aka Char-Char-Binks, aka HunnyBunny) had her spay surgery and recovered perfectly. Because she is a Rex, the fur is growing back slowly on her belly where she was shaved but the rest of her is as luxurious as ever, and she absolutely loves any kind of petting or attention. She does not mind being picked up and held when it’s time for grooming, or put on your lap for pats time, though she does prefer if you just snuggle up with her. Really snuggle. She’ll lean into you for smooshes and nuzzles and will nose boop you if you stop. And why would you? No one can get enough of that thick velvety coat!
When Charlotte first came to Rabbit Rescue she was quite overweight, but after a gradual weight loss plan she is now within normal weight range. Because of this, she is able to jump up on the sofa. She is only a little bun, so her foster mom puts a small stool next to the sofa to make it easier for her to get up and down. She loves company, whether it be human or the cats who share the space. Highly social and friendly, Charlotte is always looking to spend time in the company of others. The only time she shows any feistiness is when her space is being messed with. She does not like her blankets being arranged for her, and will tug on her foster mom’s clothing when the litter box is removed and cleaned. As soon as everything is put back in place, she does a little bunstruction to get it the way she wants.
Her litter habits are absolutely excellent and she will eat anything you give her. She is so gentle when being hand fed, even when it’s a cookie and she’s very excited. Charlotte has been taught to step away when her food bowl is being put on the floor and to come and get her food when she is called. You can see videos of that below. Such a good and polite bun!
Charlotte is a wonderful bunny and would love to join your family. Apply to adopt her today!

Sir Henry Bunwick
Hey! It’s me Sir Henry Bunwick! You guys may have seen me being called ‘Skinny Boy’, but thanks to you all, I have a MUCH better name now, fit for royalty.
Before I came to Rabbit Rescue, I was being kept in a small cage without any food. I got really skinny, but thankfully a nice person came to save me and drove me 18 hours to meet up with my foster family. When I got there I was THIRSTY. I even got some pellets to eat on the drive to my new home! I gave kisses as a thank you once I finished eating.
My favourite foods are definitely greens (dandelion, parsley, cilantro and sometimes kale) but as a big boy I will never say no to treats, pellets, and am still a big fan of hay. I don’t love being picked up for nail trims/brushing, but foster mom has been accomplishing this by luring me into a carrier for those tasks (I’m very food motivated!).
I have adapted very quickly and my personality is starting to come out more. I’m a very silly, sweet, and curious bunny that loves to give kisses, play with toys (especially stacking cups), and lounge around (being such a good boy is very hard work)! I can be a bit of a troublemaker and my foster mom says my ability to find / chew almost anything is unmatched. I am basically Henry Houdini with my successful escapes, so foster mom says that Henry-proofing my forever home is a must. I have fantastic litter box habits though!
Now that I’m healthy, I’m hoping to find a wonderful forever family to call my own. I really like the stuffed bunny friend that my previous foster family gave me so I think I might like a home with a sweet lady.
Hershey
Hershey is a rambunctious and feisty bun who is looking for his forever home! He is being surrendered to Rabbit Rescue through no fault of his own
Hershey loves scratches on his cheeks and behind his ears and tends to purr quite loudly when being pet! He can be shy at first but if you have treats or pellets he will run right to you. If you sit on the floor he will come nose bump you to check you out as well.
He loves to have plenty of space for his zoomies and binkies. He is also quite the escape artist so if you plan to have him in an enclosure, make sure it’s secure!
He loves pellets, and any kind of greens. He adores carrots as well but of course in moderation. He hates the vacuum and the broom and will hide when his room is being cleaned. He doesn’t mind being picked up when it’s time for grooming but with any rabbit he prefers his feet on the ground. He is a champ at the vet and lets them examine him without any fuss. He’s a very gentle, sweet, feisty rabbit when he warms up to you!
Hershey is neutered and vaccinated against RHDV.
If you have space in your home for a sweet and funny bun like Hershey, apply to adopt today!
Theodore
Theodore is a large, loveable snuggle bunny with the most gorgeous ears. He came from a shelter in Quebec after he was put on a euthanasia list due to overcrowding and given only days to live.
Since arriving into foster care, Theodore has proven to be one of the sweetest bunnies ever! He loves to be pet and gives lots of kisses. He will happily flop right next to you and will come up onto the couch for some snuggles.
This guy loves his food and is an amazing hay eater. Pellet time and salad time are both met with excited binkies and human leg-circling. He loves fruit as a treat and has never come across a bun-safe food he doesn’t like.
Theodore loves to play on the daybed where he will throw around blankets and pillows. He is a chewer (not interested in baseboards though!) so proper bun-proofing is a must. The great news is that he has perfect litter box habits so no unexpected messes to clean up!
Theodore has proven to be a bit of a mountain goat and loves to get up into high places. A true escape artist, Theodore is happiest as a free roam bun in his foster home. He would also do well in a large room of his own.
Theodore’s foster mom thinks he would do great bonded with a friendly female companion, although he’s been living life up as a handsome single man for now.
This boy has the shiniest fur and is a whole 8 pounds of love! As adorable as he is in photos and videos, his true personality comes through most in person. Theodore is an easy-going, quirky sweetie pie that will warm your heart. If that sounds like a good fit for you, apply to adopt gorgeous Theodorable today!
Carmy
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!
