Bellissama, or Belle for short, is a beautiful, big bunny. She can be quite opinionated and very interesting! She loves attention and will sit for ages to be petted. Belle doesn’t like to be confined and makes all sorts of demands to be released. She will do best as a free range bunny. She is excellent with her litter box and an accomplished jumper. She did well at rabbit agility and also easily jumped out of a 3 foot pen.
Belle is very possessive of her space. She’s quite vocal about not liking her things messed with and will behave aggressively. It’s best to clean her area while she is not in it. Bellissama is a lovely, dark agouti with tall ears. She will be an amusing and personable rabbit to live with. She is probably best in a rabbit experienced home.
She’s in foster in Surrey but can come to Vancouver for meetings. If you would like to adopt Belle, please apply today!
Jerry is a young, very lucky rabbit. He was picked up in Jericho Park with an injured front leg. Vet examination revealed that he had a dislocated shoulder and a badly broken humerus (upper arm bone). To top it off he had a big abscess on his shoulder. The vets first cleaned up the abscess and put him on antibiotics. After the infection cleared up the leg was to be amputated. However, during the 2 weeks of waiting, Jerry formed a false joint for his shoulder and the bone break started to heal. He was putting weight on the leg and moving it around so well that it was hard to tell he had been injured. Further x-rays showed that the injury was healing and there was no need to take off his leg. The leg in the photo is the one that was broken.
Jerry is an amazing bunny. He is timid and scares easily but is ok with being petted. He will need a quieter home with patient people but such an amazingly resilient bunny really deserves a loving home. If you want to adopt Jerry, please apply today!
Boo came to VRRA in the summer of 2023 as a baby rabbit. Her family had lost everything in the wildfires and had to surrender her. She is blind in one eye but was cleared by the specialist to be adopted.
Marcus, her partner, a lively blue eyed dwarf came and joined us in 2024, rescued from bad conditions. He is estimated to be about 3 years old.
Both are litter trained, altered and upto date on their vaccines.
Foster notes:
Boo and Marcus were fosters living side by side for months. Marcus and Boo always bonded through the bars and really took to each other. One night Marcus broke thru the bars and I found them cuddled up the next morning!! Ever since then Boo and Marcus have been living together – they chose each other.
Boo and Marcus love to go outside when the weather is nice and play in an outdoor pen. Marcus is an avid cuddler and can sit on your lap for hours giving love and getting attention. He is very energetic and enthusiastic about toys. Boo is more reserved and calm, she likes to be approached gently on her good side as she is blind in one eye.
Boo can be cage protective but once you have her out she is a total sweetheart and sucker for love! Marcus and Boo love grooming and cuddling with each other.
Favourite toys
Their favourite toys are willow balls, hay tunnels and balls they can throw around.
Favourite Food/treats
Pellets, orchard grass, Timothy hay for Boo. Dandelion greens, cilantro and, will do anything for a loop treat!

Found as a month old fluffy baby that could fit in the palm of your hand, living under a dumpster in a parking lot in Abbotsford, Elias has not let his humble upbringings get him down. Now 6 months old and neutered, he has so much life left to live, and he would love to do it with you! Curious and playful, Elias loves to explore and binky. Loves his food, and his treats, and is just waiting to be spoiled for the lovable bun he is.
If you would like to adopt Elias, please apply today!
Obsidian is inquisitive, playful, and despite his slight disability (wobbly) which he isn’t aware he has. He is very lovable and tooth purrs when he is pet. He can be shy at first, but he adores pets once trust is earned.
His slight wobble has no effect on his running, unless he needs to hit the brakes too quickly. He was found by a local girl wandering the streets of Abbotsford in the rain and I took him in . Preferably a home with room to run as he is very active if he has the space. He will need traction throughout his new space to facilitate movement.
His nature indicates he may be a good candidate for a bond to a lady friend (he is fixed). If you would like to adopt Obsidian, please apply today!
Milton is a young, black rabbit with lots of attitude. He came as a small baby rabbit and was a real sweetie. As he grew up he became very territorial and we had to separate him from his male buddy, Truffle. Milton is a lively, interesting rabbit but he is prone to biting. He has become less so with the man of his foster family so it could be that he prefers men.
This rabbit needs a home with someone who understands rabbits and will enjoy his feisty nature. He is good with his litter and not a big chewer. When he was in the shelter he would accept petting on his terms so he is not all bad. Rabbits like Milton can be very rewarding and we hope a bunny lover will find him. If you would like to adopt Milton, please apply today!
Meet these adorable devoted sisters, Twilight & Stream!
These two girls date of birth is April 4, 2022. They came into VRRA July 20, 2022 with their mother and siblings. Twilight (black female) has a fun outgoing personality – she loves to come up to you and play for treats. She will nip/nudge is she feel you aren’t paying enough attention to her. Stream (grey/silver female) can be shy but likes to snuggle with her sister. Stream had to have one eye removed due to EC. She is completely recovered and healthy now. Stream will come up to you if you are sitting down, for head pets.
They are free roaming in their current home – a loving foster home with two children. They love to do zoomies and binkies in the evenings and run to the kids rooms to say goodnight. These two are confident and will run up and down stairs. They enjoy their chew toys and are very well behaved. They have very good litter skills. We would love for this pair to find their furever home! If you would like to adopt them, please apply today!
Marvel was heard screaming in a backyard and picked up by a kind person and brought to us. He had a terrible injury on his right hip area. Little Marvel was only about 5 weeks old and could sit in my hand. The wound was a bad one, deep and infected and smelled awful. The veterinarian and I started treatments with antibiotics and wound cleaning. It was touch and go, but little Marvel kept eating, and slowly the terrible wound healed. I called him Marvel because it was amazing that he lived. Scroll down to see some photos of Marvel when he was first found.
He is now a happy, healthy, very active bunny with lots of attitude. His right hind leg is useful to him but not very flexible and prevents him from cleaning or scratching his right ear. So that is his extra care need – cleaning his ear. Marvel deserves a caring and fun home with someone who really loves him. If you can give him that home, please apply today!
Here are some photos of Marvel as a little baby. Without examination you could not see the terrible wound – probably from a cat/racoon/dog bite. He was heard screaming and the homeowner scared off the predator but couldn’t see what it was. These photos were taken once the wound was shaved and first treated.
This darling little girl is shy, but brave. Once she’s comfortable, she’ll come up and boop you with her nose. It’s her way of saying hello. Frances absolutely loves to be hand fed. It’s so cute to see her little tail twitch with excitement!
While Frances likes company, she prefers to be the one to initiate any petting. She’s comfortable with gentle nose pets, however she prefers not to be picked up or have full body pets.
Frances enjoys exploring her space. She recently moved things around so she could have a better route for her zoomies! Frances loves games and puzzles when there’s a reward. She’s an expert with her stacking cups and her treat dispenser ball!
No worries with the litter box, as Frances is very clean and tidy. She definitely prefers privacy while doing her business, so I had to move the hay bin to make a bit of a partition.
Frances does startle at loud noises, so she may not do well in a home with young children, or dogs (loud barking). If you would like to adopt Frances, please apply today!
