WHY WE NEED YOU
As an all-volunteer organization, we rely on the dedication of hundreds of caring individuals to keep our rabbits healthy, happy, and safe — and to keep our shelter running smoothly.
Everyone is welcome to lend a helping hand (or paw)! Whether you're a seasoned rabbit lover or brand new to bunny care, there's a place for you here.

VOLUNTEER AGE REQUIREMENTS
We welcome volunteers of all ages, but for everyone’s safety — especially our rabbits — we have a few age-related guidelines:
-
Ages 8–14: Must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is actively volunteering alongside
them at all times. -
Ages 16–17: May volunteer independently, but an adult must be present in the same area while they volunteer.
-
Ages 18 and up: Can volunteer on their own anytime, as long as they’re supporting (not disrupting) ongoing volunteer efforts.
WHAT WE ASK OF OUR VOLUNTEERS
Volunteering with us is a meaningful commitment — and we’re incredibly grateful for the compassionate, dedicated individuals who make our mission possible.
To ensure the best care for our rabbits and a supportive environment for all, we ask each volunteer to commit to:
-
Providing compassionate care to our rabbits — treating them with patience, kindness, and respect.
-
Making at least a six-month commitment — training takes time, and consistency helps us (and the bunnies!) thrive.
-
Showing up when scheduled — or doing your best to find a substitute if you can’t make it.
-
Treating fellow volunteers with respect and dignity — creating a positive space for everyone.
We’re here to support you as you support our rabbits. Let’s make a difference together!
WHO VOLUNTEERS WITH US?
We’re proud to have a diverse and passionate group of volunteers from all walks of life! Some have been with us for many years, while others are just beginning their journey — and we welcome everyone who wants to help. No prior experience is needed; we’re happy to provide training so you can work safely and confidently with our rabbits.
Here are just a few of the wonderful groups who make our Bunny Burrow thrive:
High School Students
Need to fulfill community service hours? We’d love to help!
We do ask for a six-month commitment since training takes time and energy. In return, we’re happy to provide personal recommendation letters for our dedicated student volunteers.
Retirees
Our amazing retirees are some of our most dedicated volunteers!
They find joy not only in caring for our orphaned buns but also in forming lasting friendships with fellow volunteers.
Parents, Guardians & Family Members
For volunteers between the ages of 8 and 15, an adult must volunteer alongside them — making this a great opportunity for parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles to bond with the younger bunny lovers in their lives.
Animal Lovers
Many of our volunteers simply believe every living creature deserves love, care, and a forever home. These generous hearts pitch in wherever they’re needed — cleaning, feeding, comforting, or just spending time with our rabbits.
Bunny Addicts
You know who you are — you talk about rabbits, dream about rabbits, and your social media feed is full of them. If your idea of happiness is being surrounded by bunnies, you’ll fit right in with our most devoted “bunatics”!
​
No matter who you are, if you have a big heart and want to help, there’s a place for you here.
