Debby was found near Locarno beach. Her coat was very rough and she was thin. She had a few small wounds probably from rabbit bites. She had one front tooth visible poking out of her mouth. A volunteer caught her and brought her in. She had vet treatment, has been spayed and vaccinated. Debby is a very sweet girl and her dental issues have resolved and now appears fine. Her front tooth must have been knocked out of place and has corrected itself. She is an adult rabbit.
Her foster family says:
Debby is a sweet, curious and food OBSESSED rabbit, but so gentle with fingers. She loves her pets and is getting used to exploring new things. Debby uses her litter box perfectly and is not a chewer at all. She has been exposed to cats, respectfulchildren ages 4 and 8 and does very well with them. She really is a perfect all around bunny who would make a lovely addition to a home. If you would like to adopt her, 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, 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!
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!
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!
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!
