Bun-Stop Shopping

 

One goal of the House Rabbit Society is to buy a homeless bunny more time. Rabbits that would otherwise be euthanized at area shelters due to a lack of space, health or behavioral concerns are rescued and placed in an HRS foster home. Foster bunnies are spayed or neutered and any health concerns are addressed. Bunnies are litter-trained and any behavioral issues are corrected.

The desired outcome in a rabbit rescue is placement in a permanent, loving home. Every rabbit placed means another can be rescued from a shelter. To view photos and read descriptions of bunnies currently available for adoption through the Wisconsin House Rabbit Society, follow the link below.

WHRS Foster Rabbits

If you are interested in adopting a rabbit, but have never had a house rabbit before, we recommend that you read our Rabbit Care Guidelines. This document provides an overview of a house rabbit's living requirements. This information will help you decide if a rabbit is the right companion animal for your household and lifestyle.

The first step in adoption is to contact the WHRS foster home and schedule a time to meet the adoptable rabbits. Please call (608) 232-7044 to do this. You may also email us, but phoning is the most timely and efficient way of learning more about a rabbit and scheduling a time to visit.

If you have a rabbit and would like to find him or her a friend, we are glad to assist with this process. See "The Dating Game" for information on the bonding process.
