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.
