Rabbit Rescue, Control & Management

Holy baby boom! We’re crawling with little ones at the sanctuary… and they sure are keeping things interesting.

Fact - Barbie and Nurse Jean require 24/7 attention (and our volunteers only have so many hands!!)

Fact - There’s a reason we keep the guys and gals in separate areas of the shelter (the girls cannot be contained, and have been spotted chilling OVER the fence with our oldies crew… and staring longingly out the window??)

Fact - We’re in need of baby fosters asap! And more volunteers to keep these crazies busy. Please. We’re scared.

When we moved to our Richmond Sanctuary in 2018, we dreamed of creating a safe space for both bunnies and bunny lovers. We got the bunny part down pretty quickly, but creating a space for our human community has taken a little more time.

We’ve faced some major obstacles along the way: Covid baby bunny booms, post-Covid dumps, the closing of our South Surrey Sanctuary, a Granville Island rescue project, and taking back a colony (and then some) from harassed and overwhelmed fosters. The bunnies have to come first, but we’ve never forgotten about the people we hoped to help, too.

Now, we’re able to welcome folks from all over to enjoy this space that we love so much. And volunteers are always welcome, even when the daily chores are done.

This summer, we’ve been privileged to host more work parties than ever, from corporate events to our most recent “Meatless Meet-up.” This event felt like a culmination of everything we’ve been working toward for the past eight years.
Thank you to everyone who came by, worked hard, and enjoyed the vegan spread with us. We’re so happy to finally be sharing this space with the community.

PS: Volunteers past and present, stay tuned for an 8th anniversary 'do' tentatively scheduled for August 15th. Save the date!! ... See MoreSee Less
