Welcome
to The Rabbit Haven, a community of and for rabbits and their
guardians, serving the Bay Area since 1987.
The Rabbit Haven rescues injured and abandoned
rabbits and accepts surrendered rabbits from the general public
or the SPCA in Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, San Benito and Monterey
Counties. We then work to place these rescued rabbits
into loving permanent or foster homes. The Rabbit Haven also
works in the community, at schools, and with our local SPCA
shelter and other education groups to educate the public on
rabbit care, feeding, grooming, medical needs, social requirements
and behaviors.

The Rabbit Haven prepared and distributed over 400 holiday gift bags to rabbits in shelters and foster care all around
the Bay Area. Each bag contained toys, hay and treats and were distributed by Haven volunteers during December of 2009.
We have prepared two video presentations showing the shelter bunnies and their gifts:

Meet Golda
Hi I am Golda Mydear, I am named after a very special person. And I am a very special bunny indeed.
I am really looking for a single person or an older couple looking for an interactive engagement with an animal that they mostly need to let run around their house... I need someone looking for a small dog!
I really like to be free in the house and will follow you around, I don't like being in my pen. If I get out and I am free around the house, I am really happy and funny to watch. (So my foster mom says.) I like to hang out with my foster mom with the dogs and will even sit with us as foster mom works on the computer. When she gets up to do something, I follow her. I am just certain she needs me. When she is in the kitchen fixing dinner I like to just hang out and look at different corners, climb on anything sitting on the floor and just be out and about. Anyone out there looking for a bunny with my special personality?
More good news! I am really well potty trained and very smart. I LOVE pellets and hay. So, when my foster mom wants me to go back into my pen to sleep for the night, she just has to rattle the pellet bag and I come running. She then shows me she has pellets in her hand and I happily follow her right in to my pen. Really easy. I am a good girl.

Cranberry & Hazelnut
We are a most unusual pair. I am a small tall, brown Holland lop and Cranberry is a mixture of all things beautiful - he is orange and white. His ears stick up sort of. We love each other very much. We have learned to count on each other especially recently. Our family had hard times and had to give us up. Then a very wonderful lady adopted us then she got really sick, so much so that she could not keep us either. So she called The Rabbit Haven. Now, here we are in the best rabbit place around - the Rabbit Haven. We have a super foster mom who sings to us. Even though she is sweet and very calm, Cranberry insists on digging. Silly boy! He needs a digging box and even more room to run, jump and play. I am Hazelnut. I am the quiet one. I am a pretty, brown petite lop. Cranberry is also very good looking, he's white with splashes of gold over his pure clean white fur. So handsome! He's my partner. We'd like to find a home that appreciates bunnies, and where we can have a permanent place of our very own the rest of our lives. No more moving around ok? Oh, we like the cotton tail cottage, vacation villa, use a litter box and we will appreciate a hay manger and our very own home, forever this time. We will be loving family members for the right peaceful joyful family. We love hays and greens. We love to have attention and to listen to music. We live with a cat, which is fine. You may call auntie to find out more about us and to make a special adoption appointment to visit with us. Maybe we are your bunny children. We truly would love to meet you. Kisses to you... Hazelnut.

PetCo to Stop Selling Rabbits
We are pleased to announce that Petco has chosen to stop the sale of rabbits in their stores and to focus on in store adoptions working with shelters and a variety of noon profit animals rescue groups. Adoption First is their new motto.
We applaud Petco for their compassionate choice!
Hopefully this choice will continue to expand to include all other animals that may be sold in their stores.
Here is the report: Monday, November 17, 2008
PETCO Moves to Adoption-Only for Rabbits reported from petco news.
PETCO is expanding adoptions of rabbits in all of our stores nationwide!
The company states "As part of our commitment to saving more animal lives, we're phasing out the sale of rabbits in stores where we now sell them, and reaching out to rabbit adoption groups to join with us in finding forever homes for more rabbits in those stores and all of our stores across the country. We're looking forward to expanding our existing relationships with the many adoption groups we're already working with, and pleased to offer this important opportunity to rabbit rescue groups nationwide".
This news came direct from Marcie Whichard, Vice President of Animal Care & Education-PETco, San Diego
What great news - another large pet store decided to stop the sale of rabbits! Not only this but they also recognize that rescue groups are critical to saving animals loves and now are partnering with many new groups! Great news for rabbits and the world! binkies to all.
