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!
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!
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.

Loves his food, and his treats, and is just waiting to be spoiled for the lovable bun he is.

Ralph was found by a young girl on a rural street in Maple Ridge. All it took was a carrot and he came over willingly and let her take him home. She asked all around but no one knew where he’d come from.
From the moment Ralph came to us, he has been nothing but gentle, approachable, and curious. The moment he sees you, he comes right over to get a cuddle. We discovered quite quickly he can jump extremely high when motivated, though, so he definitely needs free roam or a high area of fencing if he is to be contained. He loves his greens and hay, and loves laying flat while getting unlimited pets! He is soft as velvet, so petting him is very satisfying… and with very little shedding!
Not only is he friendly, but he is extremely tidy and litter trained, and hasn’t shown destructive behaviour. Ralph would likely do well with a busy family or with people who are home a lot. He would make an ideal free-roam pet, as he loves to jump up on the sofa with us. If you would like to adopt Ralph, 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!
Ryan is an amazing rabbit! Yet another stray from the Fraser valley, he was caught by a kind rescuer. Ryan is outgoing, friendly and is an all round great rabbit. He is affectionate, playful and loves attention.
Favourite foods: lettuce, cilantro, parsley, not a picky eater.
He would love a home that gives him an active lifestyle and lots of love. He’s loved by everyone he meets at the shelter. Come meet him! If you would like to adopt Ryan, 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.
Meet Calvin, a small male lionhead approximately 9 months old. He came in as one of a litter abandoned in a local park.
This little guy is an adventurous, active and curious. He would like nothing more to have plenty of room to explore.
He’s neutered and vaccinated and eager to share your home. We are still learning about his personality and looking forward to seeing him blossom. If you would like to adopt Calvin, please apply today!
Garrott is a very lucky boy. A good samaritan took him to the Cottonwood Clinic in Maple Ridge when they found him outside. HIs foot was bleeding and seemed twisted. The clinic called us because they do not see rabbits so we took him in. His leg was bent inwards but did not seem injured but his toes on that foot were bleeding. Garrot had one joint missing on one toe and the other toes were missing nails and all bleeding and sore. The veterinarian cleaned up his foot and bandaged it. We gave him pain medication and waited to see how it healed. After only a few weeks and a few bandage changes his foot had healed. He uses the foot and it has lost most of the twist now. We have no idea how this could have happened.
Garrot is very friendly and loves to be petted. He is litter trained and in good health. There should be no more problems with his foot. As his nails were lost he may need some help cleaning his left ear. Garrot got his name from a combination of “Gary” and “Carrot”. Some lucky person will get a marvellous pet!
If you can give Garrot a home, please apply today!
