Please complete our Adoption Application Form if you are interested in adopting.

Please contact us well in advance of adoption days to be given an appointment to meet adoptable rabbits. Also, we will gladly arrange a meeting with a foster home or shelter volunteer, to help find the perfect bunny for you!

Remember, when you adopt from HRS, you are helping two bunnies; the one you take home, and the one we are able to pull from a shelter and into foster care, to fill the newly opened space.

Support Rabbit Rescue
Help support rescued rabbits through your donations to San Diego HRS. We are an all-volunteer organization, so all funds go directly to support the rabbits and our programs to educate the community about proper care of companion rabbits.

Get Involved

Volunteers Needed to work with rabbits in shelters: Whether you live in the North County, South County, east or west, there is a local shelter that can use your help in caring for its rescued rabbits. HRS helps shelters find caring and dedicated volunteers. Contact volunteer@sandiegorabbits.org to learn more about volunteering with rabbits at a shelter near you.

If you are interested in volunteering with San Diego House Rabbit Society, please visit our Volunteer Information page to learn more.
