Moo Moo

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 willing to accept some petting on his back in moderation – especially while he is distracted eating pellets. If you lie down in his space, he will climb on your back and legs as if he is going mountain climbing.

He is very comfortable in his space and can often be seen flopping to show how safe he feels. He loves hidey boxes for his afternoon naps.

He hasn’t figured out that flop beds are comfy spots for napping. Instead, Moo Moo prefers to use them as an outer shell on his back to transform into a burtle (bunny-turtle).

Mr. Moo is a great hay eater and has a wonderful appetite for pellets and mixed greens. He gets very excited for pellets and this is when he will binky most often. He also enjoys dandelion and has slowly developed an interest in other herbs like basil, cilantro, dill and parsley. Once a week he enjoys a special treat of a slice of banana which he devours.

His litter habits are excellent and he keeps his space very clean – in case any prospective adopters might drop in!

Moo Moo is such a sweet boy and he has been waiting patiently in foster care for a furever home. Given his gentle demeanour, he could be a candidate for bonding with a lady bun.

Caramel Latte

 

 

Caramel Latte came from a shelter in Quebec after he was placed on a euthanasia list due to overcrowding. He has since been vaccinated and neutered.

Caramel Latte is a little sweet, cuddle bun who is just as happy laying and 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 enjoys playing with new toys and spending time with his foster parents.

He loves food, and eats hay, pellets, and greens very well. His litter habits are excellent and he’s very tidy!

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

 

Gandalf is looking for a new foster home!!

Gandalf the Grey came from a shelter in Quebec after he was placed on a euthanasia list due to overcrowding. He came into foster care with a head tilt, and received several months of treatment with the hope that he could improve, or the tilt could correct. While Gandalf’s condition is now stable, his head tilt is very likely permanent.

However, Gandalf is a bun that has no concept of disability. He may be tilted, but he runs and moves around as if the world has always been topsy turvy. He’s a chill bunny, who loves to lounge in his space. He gets one medication, twice daily to help keep him from rolling and getting motion sickness. With a little bit of banana, he takes his meds like an absolute champ. He LOVES to eat and will come running up to you for snacks. He also loves some gentle petting and will sit with his head in your hands to get pets all day. He is so beautifully doe-eyed, and you won’t be able to resist loving on him while he looks up at you adoringly.

His set-up currently includes a pen that is open to a larger room, so he is very much a free roam bunny. He loves consistency in his space, so if you do want to add things, do so slowly. He’s not a big fan of change. When he is settling into a new space, he will often roll as he adjusts, but once he gets used to the space, his rolling goes away and he really loves to move around.

Given he has one eye that he actively uses, it’s important to approach him slowly and make sure he sees you, otherwise you could spook him, which he doesn’t like. He may respond with a grunt or a lunge, but once he realizes who it is, he is his usual happy self.  

Gandalf needs a gentle soul, who will love him and give him the time and attention he deserves. He has been through so much – when he came into the rescue, he was unable to walk, had to be confined to a dog crate, couldn’t pee on his own, and had to be hand fed. Fast forward to today, and he’s running around, demanding pets and treats. His journey has been incredible, and he is most deserving of a forever family home. Disabled buns are often overlooked, but his care is minimal, and the love and adoration you get back will be worth it tenfold!

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.

Leo

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 & Burberry

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! Brandy has recently started giving her foster humans kisses, proving that she’s a real sweetheart to anyone who takes the time to get to know her!

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!

Pluto

Meet Pluto!
 
This tiny, young bun was abandoned on a trail with his family and taken to a local shelter. After his time ran out due to overcrowding, he came to foster care with Rabbit Rescue and has been thriving! Despite being dumped when he was only 13 weeks old, he hasn’t let it stop his spirit. He is a sweet, happy and loving bun! Pluto is a sucker for a good cuddle and absolutely loves showering everyone he meets with kisses and long as you promise to give him a good amount of head rubs and scratches. 
 
Pluto is a champ when it comes to using the litter box, never making messes with perfect litter box habits. 
 
Pluto’s such a ball of energy, always binkying all over the place! This little guy is such an explorer and loves hopping around and will even join you on the couch sometimes! He’s also such a smart cookie, always learning new tricks like stacking and unstacking his cups to get treats and spinning in circles. He’s got a big appetite and his favourite treat right now is strawberries and bananas but also goes crazy for carrots.
 
He would likely do well bonded to most female buns since he is so friendly and social.

This sweet, fun-loving bun is eager to find his forever home!

Hulk

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

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, then after a long hard day of exploration, adorably laying like a pancake with her legs splayed behind her. She loves to just chill near her humans and really enjoys being pet, 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 veggies are salad mix, dill, cilantro and mint. Her favourite treats (in limited amounts) are banana, blueberries, apple, strawberry, and her banana flavoured treats. 

You’ll find her quietly nibbling her pellets and hay in the morning and evening. She loves to take a long midday snooze. When she hears her foster mom shaking the rabbit treat box, she comes running enthusiastically at top speed. And when her foster mom comes to visit her before bedtime she does adorable binkies in anticipation of her bedtime snacks.

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

Butterscotch

Meet Butterscotch, 4 lbs of perfect bun!

Butterscotch came to Rabbit Rescue from a shelter in Quebec after being put on a euthanasia list due to overcrowding.

This gorgeous bun has quickly charmed her foster parents with her determined curiosity, devotion to food, and adorably persistent nature. Butterscotch’s litter habits continue to be truly perfect! 

After a month in her current foster home, she has quickly developed routine habits. If her foster parents haven’t gotten up to give her breakfast by 8:30, she gets their attention by throwing her toys and pushing at the walls of her pen. Once she’s out for the day, she’ll happily explore all the nooks and crannies in the house, and zoomie between rooms. She’s a strong and determined girl who loves to do some bunstruction during her active times. 

Butterscotch (‘Butters’) loves cuddles. She will loaf happily for pets and loves to show off her adorable belly. She loves to flop beside her foster mom during the work day, and she rushes to her foster dad for scritches as soon as he walks in the room.

Butterscotch will then take a long nap throughout the day, changing locations periodically. She really can nap anywhere! Her favourite nap places at the moment are under the desk in her foster mom’s office, and especially under her foster parents’ bed. Butterscotch loves to nap, but will come running at the sound of pellets, the fridge, and the closet door in an effort to secure more snacks. Her favourite pellets are like treats to her and she’ll hop all over her humans looking for them. She is also convinced the seed heads in her timothy hay are treats and will eat all those first.

She loves to shred cardboard, her favourite treat is banana (she also loves apple!), and leafy romaine lettuce is her all time favourite veggie, but she will eat herbs, dandelion leaves, and carrot tops if available. She doesn’t prefer mint or cilantro but she will eat it eventually. Her hunger does return in the late evenings and she can be found searching for an extra bite to eat. Butterscotch gets some of her greens in the afternoon and the rest at dinner, plus some bonus pellets throughout the day based on her cues. 

Butterscotch totally hates the vacuum. It is her mortal enemy. It is best if Butterscotch and the vacuum don’t meet, lest the vacuum end up on the wrong side of her bun-wrath!

Looking for motivation to keep a tidy home? Butterscotch will keep you accountable! She hates clothing or fabric of any kind on the floor. Whether it’s a towel, a blanket, or a rogue sock, Butterscotch will move it across the apartment until it is out of her sight. All floor blankets must be secured or they will be banished as well. Her foster mom says it is one of the things she loves most about Butterscotch!

She loves ANY cardboard hideaway and can be found munching and crunching on hay at all hours of the night. Hiding treats in a cardboard ball is a sure way to get a Butterscotch show as she whips it in the air to knock the treat out! Though a plastic treat ball is sure to end up in her water dish in her excitement, along with most of her other toys.

This laid back bun doesn’t love a brush, nor having her nails clipped but if you’re quick she will let you get the job done.

Butterscotch does really well as a solo bunny, and is fairly independent. She would likely do well bonded to a calm, submissive male bun.

Butterscotch is an all around wonderful bun who happily spends her days napping, exploring, eating, and grooming her perfectly lovely rexie lumps. Butterscotch’s foster family adores her greatly, but unfortunately due to personal changes, cannot foster her after spring 2025, so Butterscotch is looking for a new foster home – or even better, her forever home! Apply to foster or adopt her and make her dreams come true.

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

 

Meet Chocolat! A super soft and silky rex rabbit who 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. Don’t let his signature pout fool you, he is a very happy and sweet bun.

When it comes to litter habits, Chocolat is perfect! He has never had an accident, even when he enters a new territory. Except for a stray poop once in a while, Chocolat has always kept his space clean. He’d make for an excellent free roam bun in his future home, he never chews furniture or the plastic baseboard coverings, and loves to lounge on the sofa with his foster family.

In both his previous home and foster home, Chocolat has gotten along with gentle dogs. He is unbothered by them and doesn’t mind their presence. He does however not like when they mess up his blankets! He is quick to straighten them out whenever they aren’t to his liking, which is an adorable sight to see!

If he sounds like the bun for you, please consider applying to make him part of your forever family!

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 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!

Emmett is an analytics professional with experience in finance, healthcare, biotechnology, and digital marketing. He holds degrees in Mathematics and Engineering, with a focus on storytelling with data.

His two free roam bunnies Bubs (a Netherland dwarf) and Rory (a Holland lop) keep him constantly entertained and on a tight treat schedule. 

Emmett is passionate about rabbit welfare and aims to drive change through awareness and adding efficiency to the Rescue’s operations wherever possible. Emmett joined the Board in 2023 and can’t wait to make a meaningful difference in rabbits lives.

Yvonne Chypchar – Board of Directors

Yvonne feels that Rabbit Rescue is a well-run organization and wants to contribute any strategic planning abilities and resources she can to its future growth and development. Rabbits are a beautiful mix of vulnerable and resilient, loving and curious. They need our help and protection.

Sweet affectionate Hoa bunny was her first foster. She is grateful that she can continue to know about his life as husbun to Daisy bunny in the rabbit community. From a shelter in Las Vegas to a home in Canada, Hoa is a testament to what a network of people can accomplish. 

Helen Goreski – Board of Directors

Helen found Rabbit Rescue when she was looking for a new friend for her rabbit, after his mate passed away. Knowing about the number of rabbits in foster care looking for a home, and wanting to support an organization that aligned with her ethics made her glad to find Rabbit Rescue! Having had a wonderful experience adopting from Rabbit Rescue, she wanted to be part of the solution to people dumping their pets outside. She is thrilled to be joining the Rabbit Rescue board and is looking forward to working together to increase education and give every rabbit a second chance at a loving home.

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!
