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!
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!
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!
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!
