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.

Meet Ra
Ra is a white rex baby bunny with beautiful magical ruby eyes. He is responding to loving touch, gentle music, and attention. Now security and comfort are leading the way towards curiosity and playfulness. He really enjoys doing binky runs and zooming around. He is small enough to still enjoy kitten meal replacement formula from a bowl, but also enjoys romaine, alfalfa hay, alfalfa pellets, and toys.

Cranberry
Cranberry has a beautiful white and tanish/orangeish markings. He has an independent spirit, and enjoys chewing on boxes and willow balls. He loves to toss his toys. He is curious and adventurous and needs a B I G space where this big bunny boy can roam around and explore his world.. a bunny savvy family will do him good. He likes cats and his humans too.
Cranberry loves to held and stroked with loving attention! He has had a rough life priot\r ot getting into the Haven, hence, the occasional 'tough bunny act'.
He once had a partner who helped him ride out the challenging times, but he seems to prefer to be a single bunny at this time. Maybe down the road? Who knows? He's had the experience of being friendly with his foster mom's cat, so would likely adjust to a household cat, if introduced with patience and gentleness on both sides.
He would be better in a home with older kids - or bunny savvy children - and lots of love and attention from his primary caregivers. Naturally he love greens, hay and uses a crock food and water dish- and toys!

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.
