RABBIT REHOMING RESOURCES

Why are you considering rehoming your rabbit?

 

We’re here to help! Whether you’re facing behavioral challenges or allergies, we can offer advice that might help you keep your bunny at home.

​

Behavioral Issues

If you’re thinking about rehoming due to behavior problems, please don’t decide just yet. Many common issues—like spraying or aggression—can often be resolved by spaying or neutering your rabbit. Over the years, we’ve helped owners successfully manage a wide range of challenges. â€‹For personalized advice on behavioral concerns, please fill out this form and our experts will gladly assist you.

​

Allergies

Allergies are another frequent reason for rehoming. Are you allergic to the rabbit itself, or the hay? Sometimes, switching to a different type of hay can greatly reduce allergic reactions. Many of our volunteers and adopters live with allergies and have found effective ways to manage them. â€‹For allergy advice, please email us — we’re happy to share tips and solutions.

REHOMING OPTIONS

Generally, we do not accept private owner surrenders because we need to reserve space for strays and rabbits coming from other shelters. However, if you’re facing a serious situation beyond your control and must rehome your bunny, here are some options and suggestions:

​

Rehoming Websites

If your rabbits are spayed or neutered, you can list them for adoption on specialty rehoming sites such as:

Adopt-a-Pet Rehome

Home-to-Home

NextDoor, Ring Neighbors, or other social media sites

RescueMe Colorado
 

Rehoming Fee

We strongly recommend charging a rehoming fee of at least $25. This helps ensure your bunny goes to a responsible home and does not end up in unsafe situations such as becoming snake food or dog bait—unfortunately, this does happen.

 

Vetting Potential Adopters

If you’d like help screening potential adopters, contact us for a list of suggested questions to ask.

​

Courtesy Posting on Our Website

While we can’t take private surrenders, we can post your bunny for adoption on our website as a courtesy. You’ll work directly with interested adopters, and we’ll help promote your bunny as needing a new home.

  • Please notify us when your rabbit has been adopted so we can remove the listing.

  • All listings will automatically be removed after one month.

  • To post your bunny, please fill out the form on this page.

 

Emergency Situations

If you are in an urgent situation and cannot wait for rehoming, you may surrender your rabbit to a local animal shelter.
