The Rabbit Haven: Rabbit Rescue and Adoption

The Rabbit Haven

Welcome to The Rabbit Haven serving needy rabbits in the Bay Area of Northern California since 1987.

The Rabbit Haven works with shelters and the community in the Bay Area of Northern California to assist rabbits in need. We then work to place these rescued rabbits into loving foster homes and finally into permanent adoptive homes. The Rabbit Haven also works in the community, at schools, and with shelters to educate the public on rabbit care, feeding, grooming, housing, medical needs, social requirements and behaviors. For information on any of our programs contact us at director@therabbithaven.org or (831) 600-7479.

Simona

Meet Simona

Hello, my name is Simona and I am a big, gorgeous, lovely girl. I am almost 8 pounds (spayed too). I was pretty upset when I first arrived as I was missing my human mom. She passed away and I was left alone out in the backyard. The family called the Haven and they came to get me. I am so glad they liked me. I had no human to take care of me at all. Then, I got to go live with Diana. She is so nice to me - I even let her snuggle me. Have to admit, I love it too. She is so nice. I have my own room, my own wicker tent and lots of toys. There are other big bunnies here too so I am very curious about them. I am so relieved not to have to be scared all the time living out with predators. I am all safe now. I hope to get to meet you soon.

Meet Luka

Hi everyone I am Luka. I am a very good listener and have the ears to prove it! I am tidy and use my litter box and I like holding and playing and cottontail cottages. I am in love with my humans and toys and playtime. I live in an x pen with sheet under my feet and I use a litter box. It has paper based litter in it. I like that. I also use a food water crock dish and a big hay basket because I love hay. I eat mostly alfalfa hay but I can have a variety of hay and pellets. Right now I am sort of a quiet boy and I am gentle. I really am longing for my forever home. I love my foster family but I know this is temporary I want to settle in and be a permanent member of a family. This is my dream. Then I will be so happy I will dance around and even do more binkies. I am a good boy. So call right away to see me OK? Oh, I am neutered too. Healthy as I can be. See you soon.
