New Mexico House Rabbit Society


HRS New Mexico is a small collection of dedicated volunteers working to help rabbits who need homes in New Mexico, with a special focus on the Albuquerque area.

We assist local animal shelters, especially Albuquerque Animal Care, with their rabbit program by
  • providing volunteers to help care for the rabbits at the shelter
  • providing educational materials to provide to rabbit adopters
  • rescuing rabbits when we have space in our foster program
  • providing training to shelter staff on rabbit care and adoptions
  • helping to publicize the rabbits at the shelter

    Help us save New Mexico's needy rabbits

    Timmy

    Timmy is at Petco Lomas and is one of 350 rabbits rescued by NM HRS from a hoarder in Rio Rancho over the summer of 2009. Costs to support those rabbits have so far almost reached $8,000 and we are seeking donations to offset some of those costs. All donations are tax deductible and only cover our program expenses--primarily veterinary--as we are all volunteers, so overhead is otherwise very low.

    Adoptable Rabbits in Albuquerque

    We also run a program at two local Petco stores whereby we provide spayed and neutered rabbits from the Albuquerque shelter, and adopt them out through the Petco stores. Our rabbits are at two local stores:

  • Petco Lomas 10700 Lomas NE Albuquerque, NM 87112 505-296-0978
  • Petco Westside 3601 Old Airport Road Suite C Albuquerque, NM 87114 505-898-2450

    To see the adoptable rabbits that we have in our Petco stores, at the city shelter, or in our foster homes, please visit our adoptions page or our Petfinder site to see all the rabbits for adoption.

    Please also visit our two local animal shelters:
    Albuquerque Animal Care
    Santa Fe Humane Society

    Just email Bill Velasquez who will send you our adoption application.

    Scooter

    It's a scary world for a homeless little rabbit...Scooter is one of seven baby rabbits abandoned at Albuquerque Animal Services with their mother Cindy immediately after their birth. Scooter and his siblings have been fostered by one of our dedicated fosterers and is now 7 months old and raring to find a wonderful home. Won't you give him a happy Halloween?
