We are a rabbit rescue focusing on neglected, abandoned, or confiscated domestic rabbits from crisis situations. We assess injuries, heal physical and mental traumas, and prepare rabbits for adoption. All are spayed or neutered and vaccinated before adoption.
New to rabbits? Sign up for either (or both) of these free classes. Dolly's Dream and House Rabbit Society offer free, online classes to prepare all adopters for their new rabbits.
Looking to adopt a friend for your lonely rabbit? Bonding takes patience. It's not as simple as putting two rabbits together and letting them work it out. Rabbits need gradual introductions in neutral spaces. This free class from House Rabbit Society covers the basics: how to introduce your rabbits, the setup you'll need, how to read their body language, and when to move on to each next step. We encourage you to take it before you begin, for a safer bond and happier, healthier bunnies.
A detailed, illustrated guide that goes further than the class. It shows how to set up bonding pens, which behaviors to watch for (grooming, mirroring, chasing, mounting, and nipping) and what they mean, how to swap spaces and scents, and when to move to the next step. We give it to every adopter who plans to bond, and we turn to it ourselves when a bonding hits a snag. Keep it handy for future reference.

Fill Out the Adoption ApplicationDomestic rabbits are delightful companion animals. They are inquisitive, intelligent, sociable and affectionate, and can live for 10+ years. Adopting a rabbit, therefore, is a long-term commitment.

Rabbits are delightful, but they are not low-key pets. An honest look at the time, care, and costs involved.
Read this section → 02Understanding normal rabbit behavior helps you meet their needs instead of fighting their instincts.
Read this section → 03Rabbits are not low-maintenance, and they aren't starter pets. They are delicate animals that need gentle handling and a calm environment.
Read this section → 04Set this up before your rabbit comes home so their space is ready the moment they arrive.
Read this section → 05Unlimited grass hay (timothy) is the foundation of an adult rabbit's diet. These proportions are a general guide; age, weight, and medical needs can change the plan.
Read this section → 06Rabbits hide pain and illness because they are prey animals. By the time they look sick, the problem may be serious. Know their normal habits and pay close attention.
Read this section → 07Rabbit poop tells you a lot about their health.
Read this section → 08Rabbits need room to run, jump, and explore for their physical and mental well-being. No cages or enclosed hutches.
Read this section → 09A new rabbit has unfamiliar smells, sounds, and routines to adjust to. Help them adjust to avoid GI stasis.
Read this section → 10Rabbits are slow to trust. They can be incredibly friendly and lovable, but settling in takes patience. Let them come to you. We know how hard this is, but trust the process. They will begin to trust you if you respect their space and allow them to choose when they approach. Invading their space before they are ready is a guaranteed way to make them fearful and delay their trust.
Read this section → 11Rabbits are fastidious self-groomers, so your job is mostly managing shedding, not bathing.
Read this section → 12Overgrown nails can affect how a rabbit stands and walks. A routine trim keeps them comfortable.
Read this section → 13Rabbits are prey animals. Any introduction takes patience, a barrier, and close supervision.
Read this section → 14A rabbit usually bites because it is afraid or feeling territorial. Bites and nips are different.
Read this section → 15Rabbits are highly social animals, and most are happier and healthier with a bonded rabbit companion.
