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!
Betty Boop came to us a stray, (with a litter of six babies). She had been reported to us by caring community members as she was at risk and rescued by dedicated volunteers. Fast forward to the present day Betty has reared her little family and is now ready for her forever home.
She’s approximately two years old, initially shy, but since she’s been in a home where she feels safe is blossoming. She’s curious, and is starting to nudge your hand for more pets and will climb on you. Definitely an active rabbit and clean.
Betty is a gentle soul that would do well in a quieter home with someone who has time to interact with her. She’s going to be a great family member and may welcome a partner. We are getting to know her better daily and she’s full of surprises. If you would like to adopt her, 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!

Otter’s estimated date of birth is early March of 2025. He is an amazing little character, very active, playful and loves tossing his stacking cups. Somewhere in his background there must have been some lop even though his ears have a mind of their own!
Otter eeds a large space with lots of enhancement items. Please research rabbits and their habits before bringing one home. They are for life. If you would like to adopt Otter, please apply today!
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!
Snap was born Feb 8 at a local shelter before joining VRRA with her mom and twin siblings.
Snap is a beautiful white and gold rabbit with Dutch markings. She’s a strong girl and would do well in a rabbit savvy home or with someone who wants to introduce her into rabbit agility. She’s an elegant rabbit.
Snap is clean, curious and active. She can be quite vocal, hopefully hormones dying down. As she is young she is quite a busy bee.
Want to meet this beauty and experience her unique personality? Please fill in an adoption application form today!
Meet Button and Zipper! they were born at a local shelter with their siblings on Feb 8, 2025, and when the shelter reached out we were happy to help.
They are smaller rabbits, with white spots on their noses. These little sisters are happy to hang out together, and are very active and playful. They love their food, keep a clean house and will do anything for a treat.
One is shyer than the other but both are extremely inquisitive. They were born and raised in the shelter with a brief vacation stay in a foster home where they were extremely good.
Their favourite way of chilling out is flopping out on their Ikea bed after a long day of zoomies.
Their photos do not do them justice. This small pair of bonded pairs of girls are worth meeting. If you would like to adopt Button and Zipper, please apply today!
