News and Events

  • CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS!: The Governor's office is proposing a repeal to many parts of the Hayden Law that protects animals in California shelters. These changes will affect more than just cats and dogs. Rabbits and other small animals will no longer have ANY holding period and rescue groups will no longer have the right to save them. See Sec.7 on Page 9. We need all rabbit and small animal rescues, sanctuaries, adopters and other animal lovers across the state to write their local representatives and the Governor to stop our shelters from becoming just killing houses for stray and surrendered pets. Here is a link to get you started.
  • February is Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month! Spread the word!
  • Promotion! 20% of all Flat Bonnie sales in the month of February will be donated to HRS. So buy yours this month!
  • The Animal Rescue Site's new Shelter Challenge is up and running! From January 9 to March 18, 2012, you can vote for any rescue group to win one of a number of cash prizes. Last time, we all worked together and helped St. Louis HRS win $1000. This time, we are going to try to get Rabbit Rescue and Rehab, the NYC chapter of HRS, the prize. Please visit every dayto vote! Enter Rabbit Rescue and Rehab, in Bronxville, NY. After you've voted the first time, the site will remember your choice. You can also elect to have an email reminder!
  • Our latest emergency grants have gone to Bunny Bunch to help with the rescue and care of hundreds of rabbits who are living on the grounds of a car rental location in Ontario, California, and to Rabbit Haven to help with the care of over 70 rabbits who were dumped in a field in Salinas, California, and are now being cared for through the Monterey County shelter, which only has space for 6 rabbits. Foster homes are desperately needed, as well as additional donations to cover spays!

    About HRS
    Founded in 1988, we are a nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing abandoned rabbits and educating the public about rabbit care. We are headquartered in Richmond, California and have over 120 licensed educators and fosterers and 30 local chapters across the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Asia. To date we have rescued and found adoptive homes for over 25,200 rabbits. More Info

    Looking for Breeding Information?
    We believe domestic rabbits should live primarily indoors and be neutered or spayed. Overpopulation is big problem, and even breeding your rabbit a single time can have consequences. If you find yourself with an unexpected litter of rabbits, we do have some general information about newborn babies that may be of use.
