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, run and explore, but will happily flop down next to you for a nice, long rest or cuddle up with you while you’re reading or watching TV. Though she takes a minute to warm up to new people, and doesn’t love to be picked up, she absolutely thrives on attention and loves to be pet. She will even groom you to say thank you! She is 95% good with chewing only what she is allowed to, and as long as you give her lots of enrichment activities and bunny-safe sticks, she is happy to chew on those. Your cords will need to be blocked off or protected, as they are the most tempting. Tiger Lily has excellent litterbox skills, but doesn’t always appreciate having her area tidied while she is in it. She has a love-hate relationship with the broom and will usually try to persuade you to stop sweeping. For this reason, a home with some bunny knowledge and no young kids would be best. This little lady is ready to be your best friend for life!
She is currently content staying in a 36 inch high x-pen while her foster family is at work, and is also respectful of the 30 inch baby gate in the doorway of the room she hangs out in.

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!
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!
Meet our dear little Maisey, who was found as a stray fending for herself. She found herself in a local shelter where she gave birth to a litter of babies. A shelter was no place for a mama rabbit and her babies, so she was welcomed into the Vancouver rabbit rescue family. Not only did she raise her own but was surrogate mom to another baby.
Maisey has completed her maternal duties and is now looking for a forever home of her own.
She’s a shy, quiet, gentle rabbit and would prefer a home that matches her personality. Children may be overwhelming for her, but she probably would like a rabbit friend. She was in a foster home with cats, a dog and other rabbits. We are estimating her to be between one and two years old.
She’s clean, has her favourite toys and will gently take a treat from you.
Please give this little rabbit a chance of a stable home after her difficult start in life. 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!
If you would like to adopt Marcus and Boo, 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.
Mandy and Soleil are not sisters but they have chosen each other. Both were found in parkades downtown, Mandy, the black one, in the Manulife parkade and the harlequin, Soleil, in the Hotel de Soleil parkade. They were only about 2 months old and probably rode there in the undercarriage of a car.
They were kept separate but Mandy jumped in with Soleil very soon after she came, and they have been good friends ever since. They are not big rabbits. They use their litter box well and are curious, friendly bunnies once they know their people and place. Mandy tends to be the leader with Soleil right behind!
Their current foster says this:
Soleil and Mandy are doing great, and we’ve really enjoyed getting to know them over the past weeks. They’ve become more comfortable with us and the daily activities and sounds in our apartment, and they’re especially curious and snuggly when food is involved. Both of them enjoy exploring our living room, jumping on the couch, and zooming /binkying around. It’s our pleasure to foster these two sweethearts.
If you would like to give Mandy and Soleil a home, please apply today!
Simone and Norman are best buddies. Norman was rescued as a baby bun with his brother Nathan. Sadly Nathan died but then Simone came along and she’s been Norman’s friend ever since. They are both about 4 yrs old. Norman is white and is more laid back than Simone. She is black and white probably a Dutch cross. Both are overweight and need space to run around and reduce their weight.
They are not hard to handle though they prefer to stay on the ground. They use their litter box and are not destructive. They have recently lost their long term foster place so are a bit sad. If you would like to give Simone and Norman a home, please apply today!
Bailey was found as a stray in Chilliwack, summer of 2024. Her age can only be estimated as she was an adult when she came to us. The vets think she’s in the 2 to 3 years age group.
Bailey is a bit of a diva – beautiful, with some spirit. Can be protective of her space. She’s extremely clean with her litterbox and loves toys. She’s a real foodie and demands her food first.
Bailey is looking for a home where she has space, freedom and attention. No young children please, and she would probably do better in a more experienced home.
Bailey is a lovely rabbit and will truly blossom in a home rather than a shelter. Are you that home? If so, please apply today!
