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!
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!
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.
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!
Sandy is a beautiful and vibrant young male New Zealand/Flemish cross! Sandy was purchased from a breeder and was saved from being dumped at the beach. We could never imagine why someone would dump him, as he is such a friendly, confident, and happy bunny.
VRRA brought Sandy to a bunny social at a local park, and he was the star of the day! He was outgoing right from the start, binking and zooming around all day long. Sandy was good with all the young children, the noise, and even puppy passersby. He was eager to make new human friends, snuggling up and flopping right beside his new buddies.
Sandy was born in March of 2024. He is all ready to go to a loving new home that will cherish him. If you would like to adopt Sandy, please apply today!
Jellybean was rescued as a small baby and has always had some kind of neurological trauma that causes her to be a bit unsteady. When excited she turns in circles. However, she is a very sweet and friendly girl who loves petting and attention. She is good with the pee in the litter box but tends to leave some droppings around.
Jellybean needs a home and to get out of the shelter. She really will be a loving pet. Jellybean is 2 yrs old in August. If you would like to adopt her, please apply today!
Meet Jacky (girl, brown) and Charlie (boy, black)! They’re a bonded girl and boy, probably both around 4 years old. Both are so lovely with good habits.
Jacky is definitely the alpha, she’s curious and brave. Charlie will follow anything she does, AKA not eating a new treat until Jacky has tried it herself…but he gets braver everyday. The bond between them is very strong, if they’re not laying side by side, they’re mirroring each other in twin positions on either sides of the room. Charlie is more interested in toys and likes to engage in play (something like bugging him with a stick or a cat toy gets him riled up) whereas Jacky is more into just gnawing down on a piece of cardboard. They will tear around in zoomies at night, but are otherwise very chill house-buns. They have amazing house habits and love to groom each other. They both come with trauma from their past so don’t expect them to come cuddle on your lap, but they love to receive cheek scratches and full body pets. They’re truly affectionate and will follow you around the house, and can even answer to their name, jumping up on the couch when you summon them. They’re the most lovely duo of companionship one could ask for.
They are both free range in the house and are litter box trained. They are quite calm and like to lay around the house together. They like cardboard toys to chew. They will bite wires if exposed! Jacky and Charlie like their space, but also like to be pet. They are friendly and smart, though can be shy at first. They’re very sweet with each other! It’s easy to love these two – they are a treat to have around!
If you are interested in adopting Jacky and Charlie, please apply today!
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!
