View our Sunset Sanctuary Rabbits.
Sunset Sanctuary Rabbits are bunnies who have been at the shelter for 1 plus years.
If you adopt a sunset Sanctuary bunny you will get a cage or expen, litter box, discount exams from our doctor and more. If you are interested in adopting a Sunset Sanctuary bunny, stop on by!
Puppy Paws has designed these bunnies to help pay for Veterinary services for the shelter bunnies. 15% from every purchase is sent directly to the House Rabbit Society. For more information you can contact www.rabbit.org .
House Rabbit Society is a national, nonprofit animal welfare organization based in Richmond, California. Our mission has two parts:
Through our fostering program, volunteers rescue abandoned rabbits and find permanent adoptive homes for them.
Through education, we seek to reduce the number of unwanted rabbits — and to improve bunnies' lives — by helping people better understand these often misunderstood companion animals.
In line with our mission, we are against the exploitation of rabbits
Since HRS was founded in 1988, over 15,000 rabbits have been rescued through our foster homes across the United States. Many of these bunnies had run out of time at animal shelters and were scheduled for euthanasia; others had been deemed "unadoptable" because of age, health, or disposition.
Because there is no time limit on our rescued rabbits, HRS foster parents are able to spend time getting to know each individual bunny and can then match him or her with an appropriate home. We neuter/spay all incoming rabbits, obtain any necessary veterinary care, and attend to their social needs.
In caring for so many diverse bunnies, our all-volunteer organization has learned a tremendous amount about their social, behavioral, and medical requirements. By sharing the collected information these rabbits have taught us, we are able to help other people improve their relationships with their rabbits. HRS provides educational materials to veterinarians and humane societies and helps individual rabbit people solve behavior and health problems, primarily through our web site, www.rabbit.org, and our quarterly publication, House Rabbit Journal.
Over the past 15 years, HRS has grown from 300 to more than 8,000 members, with local chapters and educators in over 30 states. Our web site, www.rabbit.org, is accessed over 100,000 times a day by people in dozens of countries around the world.
The Philosophy of the House Rabbit Society
The House Rabbit Society believes that ALL rabbits are valuable as individuals, regardless of breed purity, temperament, state of health, or relationship to humans.
The welfare of all rabbits is our primary consideration.
In line with our mission, we are against the exploitation of rabbits.
Except for unique situations, in which wild animals are being nursed or rehabilitated, it is in the best interest of wild rabbits that human intervention be held to a minimum.
Domestic rabbits are not the product of natural selection, but rather of human interference by means of breeding programs, and the product is a human-dependent animal who needs protection. It is therefore a human responsibility that these animals be cared for in a manner appropriate to their needs.
It is in the best interest of domestic rabbits to be neutered/spayed, to live in human housing where supervision and protection are provided, and to be treated for illnesses by veterinarians.
Domestic rabbits are companion animals and should be afforded at least the same individual rights, level of care, and opportunity for longevity as commonly afforded to dogs and cats who live as human companions.
Rabbits are intelligent, social animals who require mental stimulation, toys, exercise, environmental activity, and social interaction (from, as appropriate, people, other rabbits, or other animals).
