Meet our Sanctuary Rabbits

“Why don’t some rabbits get adopted?” While every rabbit is special, some require additional care that makes finding them a home more challenging. Our Chapter provides these rabbits with a foster home for life, where they receive the love, safety, and medical attention they need.​​

Sponsor a Sanctuary Rabbit

Each rabbit in our Sanctuary Program has a story, and you can be part of it.​ Our Chapter is proud to provide lifelong care for these special rabbits, and your support makes that commitment possible. By sponsoring a Sanctuary Rabbit with a one-time or recurring donation, you help cover essential needs like medical treatment, specialized diets, and daily care supplies.

Lars

Lars is a sweet and resilient rabbit living in permanent foster care due to an inoperable growth in his neck. While it’s uncertain how the growth may affect him in the long term, Lars is thriving in the loving care of his devoted foster mom. He’s also found happiness and companionship with his bonded partner, Pepper. Together, they enjoy a calm, happy life. Your sponsorship helps Lars gets the ongoing care he needs as we continue to monitor his condition and he lives his best life alongside his family.

Dharma

Dharma is a resilient adult rabbit in our Sanctuary Program who has been on a challenging medical journey. She was returned to our care for ongoing health issues after her bond with her partner broke. With dedicated support, her kidney values improved and her appetite picked up, but her progress has been up and down. Her appetite dropped again and she began experiencing mushy stool, prompting multiple vet visits to get to the root of her digestive issues. Dharma remains under close observation in foster care, receiving the specialized care she needs. Your sponsorship helps support our efforts to get the veterinary support, comfort, and stability she deserves.

Oleg

Oleg is a young rabbit who lives with the lasting effects of E. cuniculi (EC). While his EC is currently inactive, stress can trigger seizures, which means he can't attend busy events like adoption days. Instead, Oleg enjoys the calm and quiet of his foster home, where he can feel safe and supported. Oleg is currently in long-term foster care, but there’s hope he could be adopted into a quiet, experienced home that understands his needs. Until then, your sponsorship helps provide the ongoing care, comfort, and security he depends on every day.

Foster or Adopt a Sanctuary Rabbit

While these rabbits have special needs that makes them less likely to be adopted, that doesn't mean they can’t thrive in the right home. We’re always looking for compassionate, experienced foster parents willing to open their hearts and homes to these special rabbits.

​

Occasionally, a Sanctuary Rabbit is a good fit for adoption, usually into a quiet, experienced home that understands their unique needs. In these cases, we remain committed to their care and will continue to cover medical expenses related to their condition.

 

Whether you're interested in fostering or adopting, becoming a caregiver to a Sanctuary Rabbit is a deeply rewarding way to change a life. If you think you might be the right match for one of our special rabbits, we’d love to hear from you.
