Volunteer Needs and Sign-Up!
Promote Rabbits for Adoption
Download flyers from our volunteer materials page,
and post in your community in pet supply or feed stores (that do not sell rabbits), coffee
houses, vet offices, or anyplace that hosts a community bulletin board.
Box Hay
Be a hay elf for a few hours on Saturday mornings to pack hay
for sale. Hay distributors need a roomy vehicle such as SUV or pick-up truck to haul boxed
hay to our distribution locations. Garage for hay box storage could also be helpful.

Take shelter rabbits to and from veterinary visits in general geographic area of the
shelter. This is typically shelters in the North County.
Shelter Volunteer
Clean cages, provide fresh food and water, socialize and exercise rabbits, evaluate
personality for adoption blurbs, be alert for medical/social problems.
We are
short-handed at the following shelters and can use your help!

Our presence in the local shelters makes a huge difference to rabbits who might
otherwise be euthanized due to lack of space or experienced rabbit caretakers. You really
can make a difference!
Volunteer Opportunities for
Kids
Kids, become a volunteer with the SNAP Dragons,
and be part of helping animals in San Diego County.
Become a Sanctuary Home
Permanent homes are needed for "sanctuary" status
rabbits. Rabbits in sanctuary care need caretakers with rabbit experience. These rabbits
may have challenging attitudes or on-going medical concerns, making them difficult to
adopt into permanent homes. HRS covers most medical costs and supplies (cage, hay, etc.) to
approved sanctuary homes. You provide the love and care, throughout the bunnies' lives.
Application and home inspection is required. Contact HRS at 619-718-7777 or email
hrs@sandiegorabbits.org to apply for sanctuary status, and to give one of these
homeless bunnies a loving place to live throughout the remainder of its life.
Education events
One of the House Rabbit Society's key goals and responsibilities is
to educate the public on responsible rabbit care. This
includes information on housing pet rabbits indoors, litterbox
training, behavior, health issues, and more. Participate at
educational events to help us better the lives of companion rabbits.
Events included Earth Day, environmental fairs, info tables at pet
stores, the San Diego Fair, and more. If you would like
to help at educational events, please contact Patricia at
education@sandiegorabbits.org
