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.
