Richmond Rabbits in Need

Rabbits in Need: 

“In a world that couldn’t care less, be a person that couldn’t care more…”

Pet rabbits are abandoned all over the streets and the parks of the city of Richmond, B.C.  As former pets, these rabbits are not able to survive on their own.  They end up malnourished, injured, sick, hit by cars, and attacked/killed by predators, both animal and human.  These rabbits need help.  A few of them are fortunate enough to be rescued and placed in shelter.  Those rabbits then become available for adoption in loving, rabbit-savvy homes.

If you are interested in adopting a rabbit, please check out the Adoption & Volunteer Contact page for contact information.  Adopting a rabbit is a big responsibility as rabbits require a lot of care, attention, $$ and can live up to 10 years.  But if you have done your research and feel a rabbit would be the right addition to your loving home, then a pair of house-bunnies may be right for you!

If adopting a rabbit is not for you, then please consider volunteering to help the rabbits in other ways!  Again, check out the Adoption & Volunteer Contact page for contact information, if you are interested in volunteering your time a few hours a week to help the rescued rabbits in care through clean-up and socializing with them.

Jack

Here is Jack in the park prior to being rescued.  He had an eye infection, mangled ears with missing pieces and an abscess that required surgery.

Here is Jack now with his new friend Dutchess.  All healed up, ready and waiting for a new life as a house bunny in a rabbit loving home!

Rusty’s Babies

An adorable group of baby bunnies!  Eight of the babies were born to park bunny Rusty shortly after she was rescued.  Two of the babies were abandoned babies that joined the eight and were then fostered by Rusty.

Victoria

Victoria is lovely young bunny. This little girl was discovered in Minoru Park by some caring folks, who reported her to us. She was very unsteady on her feet and falling over as a result of suspected head tilt. Victoria was rescued, treated, is doing great and only occasionally loses her balance now.  Victoria would make a wonderful addition to a loving family who knows how to accommodate her special needs.  Victoria lives with her good friend Bullwinkle, another rescued park bunny.

Huey

Huey has been through more in his life than any rabbit should ever have to go through.  Huey was discovered wandering confused and disoriented roadside with the worst facial injuries we had ever seen. With treatment Huey recovered from his facial wounds, however an old leg injury caused him ongoing pain and discomfort due to reoccurring abscesses.  Eventually Huey had to have a leg amputation in order to permanently put an end to the infection and the pain he was in.  Huey is now a survivor of the horrific time he has had as a recovering abandoned park rabbit.  Huey is ready to find a loving foster home, experienced in special needs rabbits, and ready to help him put forever in the past the sad and painful memories of his early life.  Huey, you are truly an inspiration to us all!  Huey was a loner bunny, but recently has made friends with Lavender and they now share accommodations at BfB.

Tiny Tim – R.I.P. April 14th, 2013

Tiny Tim is a sweet, friendly and gentle special needs bunny.  Tim has limited use of his hind legs (splay leg) and has been to see a Neurologist, however his condition is congenital with no remedy.  Tim could only go to a foster home with lots of rabbit knowledge in caring for his special needs, as he will require ongoing medical care for his degenerative condition.  Undeterred by his physical challenges, Tim is truly one of the most courageous, inspiring and loving bunnies you could ever meet!
