How to adopt a rabbit
from Rabbit Rescue

Meet our bunnies!

You can find our adoption application here. Please read on for more information about adopting.

We currently have 5 bunnies ready for adoption at our Adoption Center. Our available bunnies are listed here on our web site for you to browse. You can also visit our Instagram for updates on new rabbits and recent adoptions.

If you are interested in adopting one of our rabbits, here's what to do:

• If you haven't had a rabbit before or it's been a while, please spend some time researching rabbit care before deciding to adopt. Rabbits are amazing pets but they often require more time, work, and money for medical care than people realize. House Rabbit Society has lots of helpful information on their website rabbit.org.


• Consider stopping by the rescue in person for an informal meet and greet with our rabbits. You can spend time with rabbits you might want to adopt and get information from our staff. We are located at 7640 Rosecrans Ave in Paramount, CA. No appointment is necessary. We are open from 10:00 - 3:00 on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays and from 12:00 to 3:00 on Saturdays.


• Fill out our adoption application. We will review your application and respond to you via email with any questions.


• After reviewing your application, we will ask you to email us photos of the space where you will keep the rabbit. We are looking to see if the space is safe and whether you have all the basics for rabbit care. Please see below for more information about setting up your space.


• If your application and photos are approved, we will make an appointment for you to return to the rescue and meet with one of our on-site managers. They will work with you to spend more time with the rabbits and proceed with the adoption process.
  

Setting up your space

Because we want to make sure our rabbits are safe in their new homes, we ask adopters for photos of the space where they will be keeping their rabbit. Rabbit Rescue staff may ask you to make updates to your space before approving your application.

There are many online resources that offer guidance on setting up a space for indoor house rabbits like those at Rabbit Rescue. See: Rabbit.org, House Rabbit Society, LA Rabbit Foundation, and Bunny Bunch Rabbit Rescue.

Here is what we look for in the photos that adopters send of their new rabbit's living space:

• YES: Indoor space like a living room, bedroom, or home office. A secure outdoor space may be used for supervised playtime.
• NO: Garages, basements, closets, or primarily outdoor living spaces. These are often too hot and otherwise unsafe.
• YES: Using an exercise pen (x pen) or similar fencing to create an enclosure 4' x 4' or bigger as your rabbit's home base.
• NO: Cages or small hutches. Note: a hutch may be used as part of a setup, if your rabbit has access to additional space
• YES: Soft flooring, litter box, bowls for water and food, a "hide" like a bunny castle or box with openings cut on the side.
• NO: Electrical cords, hard or grated flooring, exposure to other pets without proper introduction

Rabbit Rescue staff are happy to answer questions and recommend items for your setup!
