If you’re looking for the absolute most PERFECT pair of rabbits, Ira and Gopy aka “The Husbuns” are it! Not only they’re really intelligent, clean and extremely social, but they LOVE getting petted and they will form a really strong bond with their hooman!
These two boys were rescued within a few weeks of each other from different locations from the streets of Vancouver when they were just teeny, tiny babies found all alone. They are now healthy, friendly bunnies who are absolutely in looove with each other !
The husbuns are super chill and mellow buns; they sleep well through the night, and relax all day (and will absolutely welcome all the forehead scritches you can provide). They have a little burst of energy during the morning and in the evening, when they will do zoomies and work on their own projects (chew cardboard boxes and toys with passion).
They are intelligent and curious and will investigate what you do and new things in their environment However with their calm demeanor, they have very low “bunstruction” tendencies ; they are currently free roaming in their foster’s mom bedroom and require just a little bit of bunny-proofing. On top of that, they are really clean and use their litterbox without problem.
Ira (the brown agouti) is intelligent bun with a big personality! Affectionate and outgoing, he’ll give you kisses all day! In contrast, easy going Gopy’s (blue grey) motto is “Don’t worry, Be happy”. This gentle, easy going guy loves nothing more than munching lettuce, stretching out in the sunshine and welcoming some love from his hooman!
Ira + Gopy = a pair of buns that will keep you endlessly entertained with their amazing personalities, and who will love you as much as you love them!

Regardless of your answer, we guarantee you’ll LOVE these particular marshmallows!
Introducing Boba & Roo!
These ruby eyed sisters were born in June 2022. Their homeless mom came to VRRA and surprised everyone when she popped out a batch of babies!
Boba and Roo grew up in one of our wonderful foster homes and are now one and a half years old. They’re used to free roaming, and possess excellent litter box skills. When their foster mom spends time on the floor, Boba and Roo are right there to investigate. Social by nature, their gentle dispositions make them a great match for a family with respectful children and/or animals. Of course they’d also be perfect for singletons or couples too!
B&R are incredibly devoted to each other and do everything together. One of the cutest things you’ll ever see is when they snuggle together in bed like fluffy, white marshmallow peeps How do you tell them apart, you ask? If you look closely, Roo actually has pale grey ears!
These two are truly beautiful rabbits, inside and out. Anyone would be privileged to share their life with them
If you are interested in adopting Boba & Roo, head on over to VRRA.org and fill out our adoption application. Boba & Roo and many other amazing rabbits are waiting for you.
Boba & Roo can go to a home with: Rabbits: No, thank you. We have each other Dogs: Unknown Cats: Unknown Family home with Children: Yes
Lennon and Minerva are the cutest sibling duo, both are almost 1 year old (born May 4th 2022). They are shy, but gentle with humans and warm up to people with time. Lennon is the daring sibling, while Minerva (right white paw) is the more cautious sibling. They don’t enjoy being petted unless they are familiar with you. They love a good chew toy, specifically pieces of cardboard or apple wood stick. They also love their salads and like to play tug-a-war with each other over pieces of lettuce.
The sweetest moments shared are post-meals, when in a dreamy food-coma state, they like to sploot beside each other and snuggle. They have so much love between them, in fact, they like lick and groom their rabbit stuffy as well! Lennon and Minerva are very clean and well litter-trained. There is never a dull moment with these two cuties! If you would like to give them a loving home, please apply today!
These two met at our shelter and became friends as baby rabbits. Douglas, a black male was found in April 29, 2022, at Park Royal in West Vancouver when about 2-3 months old. Jackie, a brown agouti female, was found May 7, 2022 on Blenheim St., Vancouver when about 6 weeks old. They grew up together.
Douglas is the more out-going and leads the way for Jackie who tends to be shy. Both are good with their litter box. They would love space to explore. If you can give them a home, please apply today!
This lovely pair is a brother and sister born May 4, 2022. Their mom was a beautiful grey otter like Suzie Poo and Dustin is a harlequin with a distinct pattern on his face.
These bunnies are very good with their litter. They are active and curious but tend to be shy until they know their people and space. They will do well in a home that lets them adjust to new surroundings. If you can give them that home, please apply today!
If you have seen the movie, you’ll understand why we called our little grey furball Peter. He is the most adventurous of the pair, very curious and always searching for new places to explore!
Teena is our sleek black beauty, and although she is the alpha in the couple, she is a lot shyer around people and needs more time to get used to new settings.
We found Peter abandoned in our neighborhood in 2019 around Halloween! He was very young and instantly got used to us, our children and our cats… He actually loves climbing on the cat tree! After a few months we decided to adopt Teena from VRRA, and despite both having a strong personality, they became the most loving couple ever, always on the lookout for each other and very protective of one another.
Peter & Teena have been living together for over 2 years, in a free-roaming habitat in our basement, with lots of toys, tunnels and chewing-friendly things. They really enjoy going outside, away from the dog though!
They love kale, parsley, all kind of healthy bunny food, and most of all their little cranberry or banana feast.
Like most rabbits, they don’t like to be picked up, however they cherish affection and being patted, especially on the head. They will, in return, treat you with purring and soon enough a nose kiss!
Peter & Teena are now looking for their new forever home, as we are relocating to Europe in the spring of 2023.
Sky and Ringo are a lovely brother and sister, born on May 4th.
These two well behaved buns are tidy, 100% litter trained, and love their hay and veggies. Ringo multicoloured) is more adventurous and curious than Sky (grey with white tummy), while Sky is more comfortable being brushed or petted than Ringo. Both provide something different and make for constant cuteness and entertainment. Added bonus: They don’t shed very much, making them very low maintenance.
Nugget (dark-grey) and Muffin (tan-grey) are fighters. Rescued as babies from a hail storm that their nine siblings tragically didn’t survive, it’s no wonder they’re absolutely inseparable. Friendly and playful, they will happily boop you to let you know who’s boss (in the most loving way) and most of the time you can find them cuddling and grooming each other or lounging out around your home like bunny baguettes.
These confident girls are very forward and willing to tell you what’s on her mind. If they’re unhappy with something, they will proudly stomp their feet in protest. This is a great feature because one is able to easily see their likes and dislikes and make adjustments accordingly. For example, coaxing them back into their enclosure for bedtime despite a full day of free-roam play will result in a thump 9/10 times. Fortunately they are very food-motivated which makes them easily persuaded.
Given their rough start and justifiable distrust of humans, it’s truly incredible how far they’ve come. Nugget will let you pet her when she’s lounging about, and Muffin has zero hesitation to hop up on the couch and leap onto your lap! Muffin is not too keen on pets but she’s slowly warming up to them! Both bunnies have perfect litter skills, always doing #1 in their litter box, and leaving minimal stray #2s around their enclosure.
We can’t wait for them to find their perfect home to give them all the love and attention that they deserve. For those looking to scoop these sweeties up, please be able to provide lots of fresh veggies (their favourite) and a big space that they can call their own. In addition to, of course, a lifetime of love!
Smudge is a cute, black dwarf lion head bunny. He is the softest bunny ever! He’s approx 6 1/2 yrs old. He’s curious, playful and knows his name is Smudge. He is fine to be held and stroked for a little while but likes to explore and be with Oriel most of the time. He’s very friendly and will follow you around.
Oriel is a golden tan half Rex about 5 1/2 yrs old. She is a gentle bunny, easy to handle. Oriel has become very overweight and needs someone to watch her diet and make sure she gets lots of exercise. They will be good companion rabbits. Smudge and Oriel need a home with an experienced rabbit owner, and would not be suited to a home with children, as Smudge can be quite territorial.
If you are interested in adopting Smudge and Oriel, please fill in our adoption application form here.
Notes from their current foster:
Smudge and Oriel are the best couple that you will ever have as a bunny lover. If it wasn’t for my husband’s allergy to hay, I’d love to keep them for the rest of their life. Oriel is a cute round bun that was a bit shy at the beginning of arriving at her new home. She got adapted to the environment from the second week on and she would come out to explore our dining room. Compared to Smudge, Oriel is the calmer one, if you like some quiet time of your own, she’d definitely be your best company.
Smudge is a little power generator – we call him “little bull”! He’s always full of energy. If you like dogs, Smudge is on the same level of a little puppy who will chase you wherever you go. He got used to a new home very easily. We have a fully fenced backyard with a patio and lawn behind. Once in a while I would let Smudge free run at the patio where I called “Free Buffet for the Bunnies” and leave the door a little bit open. He always came back to the house by himself, if not, I simply made a “tic, tic, tic” sound, and that would bring him back to where I was immediately. We’ve grown lots of vegetables on our patio. Their favorites are mustard leaves, dill, red leaf amaranth, cilantro, kale, and green leaf part of a cauliflower. Smudge also eats sunflower leaves, basil leaves, peppermint, and shiso leaves. Oriel loves the flower part of the veggies. We also made sure that they ate lots of hay.
Some notes for prospective owners: they do chew cables when they are bored or out of your sight, so make sure you put the cables out of reach or install protections. I put bamboo sticks and timothy sticks for them in the pen, and they would chew them. Smudge runs very fast near you even though he’s so small, so please make sure while walking, don’t step on him. Smudge bites whatever comes nearby without sniffing so just make sure you let him know when entering his territory (which can be inside the X pens or the spot you put him with Oriel together) don’t try to pet him or show him your hands until he calms down. If you need to hold him, make sure you hold him well because once you start lowering him down on the floor, he will try to escape and he might scratch you.
Oriel is a very special girl so you need to give her more time to get to know you and her new home. She didn’t move much at the beginning when we first got her. She became more active when we put her in the X pen out on our lawn late in the afternoon. She looks calm but that doesn’t mean she’s not scared, so try to be patient with her. Hold her gently if you need to. And she will let you put her down without panic.
We only kept them for 2 weeks though they already brought us great joy especially when they got more outgoing and comfortable around us. I’m sure you’re going to find out more by spending more time with them.
Gopy (silver/blue) and Ira (brown/agouti) are “brothers from another mother”.
Both were found as tiny babies within a few weeks of each other in different locations alone on the streets of Vancouver. They’ve grown up together in foster care and are both exceptionally sweet, affectionate and funny young rabbits.
As bonded buns, they are looking forward to living together in a loving home, where they can continue to bring joy to humans as they enjoy lots of free roam time and enrichment.
They are neutered and aside from some territorial droppings (likely due to their foster mom’s own resident rabbits) they are quite good with their litter boxes. They are very loving towards each other and groom one another constantly. Both boys are very accepting of cuddles.
