Introducing Moonbeam, who came in as a stray to our local shelter. As she didn’t do well in the shelter she found her way into a VRRA foster home. She’s estimated between one and two years old and is a white and black lionhead cross.
Here’s a few words by her foster mom describing her personality:
Moonbeam is a sweet, quiet little soul. She likes to explore her immediate surroundings and settles down for a nap when the spirit moves. She enjoys a snuggle on your chest while being gently petted. It will take a bit of time to get her used to a new environment and household activities but she is used to respectful dogs and other rabbits nearby. She has a dainty diet and is selective in choices both in greens and pellets but has been vet checked and she is healthy if a bit slim.
Moonbeam is easy to handle and prefers free roaming but settles well in her bedroom (pen) at night.
Moonbeam is looking for a gentle home where she can blossom even further. If you can give her that home, please apply today!
Twix (brown lop male) and Cookie (black and white spotted female Netherland dwarf) were found abandoned outside an animal shelter. There was no room at the inn, but thanks to one of our kind foster families they were taken in. They are three and a half to four years old and are extremely sweet mellow rabbits.
This is what their foster home says about them:
The bunnies are doing great. They seem very comfortable in their new space.
Cookie (white) is an explorer. She loves pellets, hay, veggies and they both love the apple leaves you gave them.
Twix (brown) lets us pet him more than Cookie. Twix is a muncher. He’s always munching on something, whether it’s toys, pellets, hay or apple leaves. He eats and sleeps :).
They’re both very good at using their litter box. No accidents yet. We love them already. Such a pleasure to foster them. They are free roaming in the room that we put them in. We only put the fence at the door so they can’t go past it for now. They are well-behaved rabbits. They bring us so much joy!
If you would like to adopt Cookie and Twix, please apply today!
Sterling (harlequin boy) and Tapioca Jr. were raised together. Tapioca was an orphan and was raised by Betty with her six babies. At the moment these boys get on wonderfully!
Both born June 8th/9th 2025, here is a little bit about them:
Tapioca Jr.
Charming, affectionate, loves attention and a real foody. From what we’ve noticed he also loves other rabbits as well as people. He gives kisses and jumps for joy. He’s going to be a good sized rabbit compared with his sibling.
Sterling
A golden boy, small featured, extremely curious, active and happy. Extremely busy, loves to be busy, throwing and chewing toys. Great eater, doing well with his litterbox.
If you can give these lovely boys a home, please apply today!
Please welcome Cocoa and Sylvie to the VRRA family. Due to extremely unfortunate circumstances, this much loved pair of bunnies find themselves in search of a new place to call home.
They are free roam and used to like to sleep on the bed at night.
Sylvie avoids hardwood floors (floor is lava) and finds her way around using walls and rugs
They are both food motivated and get motivated every morning for their veggies.
Both are very affectionate bunnies and cocoa will follow you around – Sylvie is a little shyer but equally affectionate. And both will give bunny kisses!
Favourite toys, wicker balls and baskets (untreated), cardboard houses and boxes which they love to shred.
Litter trained of course
Please welcome this great pair of rabbits into your home, they are pure joy! If you would like to adopt them, please apply today!
On June 20 it was extremely rainy and Pinky was found hiding underneath the back stairs of a home in Kitsilano. The kind rescuers were able to gently guide Pinky into their home for her safety.
Once inside, the rescuers contacted the City shelter to ask if they would take in the rabbit as they were unable to keep her long term. They were then directed to VRRA who were able to help with Pinky’s care!
The rescuers fostered Pinky through VRRA for 2 months and got to know her very well. She was only about 4 or 5 months old when rescued and is a lively, friendly young bunny! She loves her fresh carrots and greens for treats. She ALWAYS uses her litter box and enjoys helping to top it up with fresh hay.
Pinky is curious and adventurous, and she will try to chew on cords/wires if they are in reach. She can jump out of a 3 feet pen, so is best to be supervised in a taller pen or contained in a crate with a top when alone. She loooves to be pet but is not very fond of being picked up for long periods of time. She will keep you forever entertained with her countless bunny zoomies!
Pinky is spayed and ready for adoption – if you would like to give her a new home, please apply today!
Madison is a slim and attractive little rabbit who resembles a wild cottontail. She was an abandoned rabbit on Madison Avenue in Burnaby. She had been living wild for a few months and the condo building manager was becoming annoyed that she was eating their plants. Volunteers picked her up after a bit of a chase!
Madison has shown herself to be a friendly but bit timid girl. She is very good with her litter box and not a chewy rabbit. Madison will be a good companion bunny and house pet. She may like to have a bunny friend. If you are interested in adopting Madison please apply soon!
After being found on Main Street, dumped, scared and alone, at just a few months old, little Tiger Lily was caught and brought to the VRRA by a kind person. She was named for her beautiful “tiger stripes” that make her quite a unique and gorgeous little harlequin bunny!
Whether you’re looking for entertaining binkies or lots of sweet snuggle time, Tiger Lily could be the perfect bunny for you! She loves to play, jump and run, but will happily flop down next to you for a nice, long rest. She enjoys being pet, getting forehead kisses, and will even groom you to say thank you or to get your attention. She also likes having enrichment activities such as toys or hay mats to play with. Tiger Lily has excellent litterbox skills, a silly and adorable personality, and is learning to tolerate being held. She would love nothing more than to be your best friend for life!
She will be happiest as a free range rabbit. She will jump out of a 3 foot pen so needs something taller to be contained.
Tiger Lily will be ready for adoption once she is spayed. If you would like to adopt her, please apply today!
Mike was found near Jericho Park outside an apartment building. He had a blue strap around his neck. It was not a real collar but being used as one. He was flighty and it took awhile to catch him. His owner came out and told the rescuer that Mike was her rabbit. On going to her apartment, the rescuer saw that this person knew nothing about keeping a rabbit. Mike was getting only lettuce and carrots to eat and his person was picking him up by his ears.
The rescuer started to educate about keeping rabbits and the owner decided she didn’t want Mike and told the rescuer to take him. So Mike came to VRRA.
He’s a young bunny, friendly but a bit leery of handling. He has wonderful tall ears and loves to spring around and play. Mike used his litter box well right from the start and doesn’t chew his blankets. He is now neutered and ready for his loving home. If you would like to adopt Mike, please apply today!
This pair was formed when Stormie came in and was paired with Colly. Colly was found as a black baby rabbit in Richmond on a very cold February night, freezing near an apartment building. He was only about 4 weeks old. He was so cold the finder thought he had died. But he rallied around when warmed and has thrived since.
Stormie was found in Pt. Grey area also when she was a very small baby rabbit. They were raised together. Stormie is very active and out-going. She’s a busy girl. Colly is more relaxed but still active and curious. They make a good pair, friendly and fun. They look forward to space to explore and play. Watching their antics is very amusing! If you would like to adopt them, please apply today!
This handsome pair of bunnies were rescued in Pemberton when someone released several rabbits to fend for themselves. Teddy, the male, was rescued first. He is larger and a lighter colour. Teddy is about one year old or a little more. Clover was picked up in the same area when only a few months old. She may have some Satin rabbit blood as her coat is very shiny. She is smaller with a darker coat. Clover had a broken right front leg when she came to us. That has completely healed now and it is only slightly crooked. Clover is probably about 8 months old.
Both bunnies have a lovely temperament. They are delightful rabbits; clean, playful, friendly, not chewy. They will be wonderful house bunny companions. If you would like to adopt them, please apply today!
