Rabbits in Need of Homes

NJHRS has a limited number of foster homes and cannot provide sanctuary for all rabbits in need. In order to help those homeless or soon-to-be homeless rabbits, NJHRS offers this page as a service to individuals looking to find a home for a rabbit.

 

If you have a rabbit in need of a home, please contact us to learn how to take advantage of this free listing.

 

To Potential Adopters

Please Note: The rabbits listed here are NOT those in foster care with NJHRS. As such, we cannot vouch for the health of the rabbit, whether or not they have been spayed or neutered or anything related to their history. You must contact the individuals listed next to each rabbit for more information.

 

Additionally, NJHRS has no say over who they adopt to, who they refuse, their adoption policies or adoption fees. If there are ever any issues with an adoption, you will need to take it up with the individual directly, not NJHRS.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've had to make the heartbreaking decision to find a new home for my two rabbits. 

They are a bonded pair, a male and female, who have been spayed/neutered. I got them as babies, and they are now about seven years old. Since the birth of my son in 2003 I have become severely allergic to them and have tried many methods to cope with having them around but have not had any luck. The last few months it has become impossible for me to care for them, I cannot breathe, get a rash, and my eyes swell shut whenever I go near or handle them. 

 

I have played around with the idea of brining them to the local animal shelter, but feel that they would not be cared for and most likely because of their advancing age, would be put to sleep.  I haven't been able to find anybody I know who is willing to take them in.

 

Lily (the white female) is extremely friendly and outgoing. When she was about 2 she jumped from my boyfriend's arms and broke one of her legs. She recovered from the incident, but he leg is somewhat deformed now.  It does not seem to cause her any pain and she is still able to get around.

 

Cody (the black male) loves Lily. He meticulously grooms her. Although he is not as outgoing as Lily, he is still able to be handled and held. To inquire about adopting, contact Beth[posted 4/25/08]


These two babies were born on January 15, 2008. The white and black one is Darth and the all white fuzzy one is Santa. They are both very sweet and maybe a little shy. They are curious and love to run around the house. To inquire about adopting, contact Carrie via email or at 267-566-2205. Rabbits are in Hightstown, NJ.

Annie is a year and a half old, female Rex. An Easter bunny "for the kids", she spent her entire life in a dirty cage. When the family got bored, she was "stored" in the storage garage, very often lacking food and water. When Annie was released to a good Samaritan, she was only 3 pounds, displaying every one of her ribs, and her back leg was unusable due to malnutrition and atrophy. With lots of TLC, and good food, Annie is now a happy 6 pounds (bottom picture) and her leg is perfect to hop around on with glee! She loves to throw her wagon wheel toy to you, arrange her MANY toys in a pile, and get a little kooky for yummy treats. Annie is litter box trained, spayed, and is both affectionate and playfully active. She is looking for an adult home where she won't be confined to a cage, and one that will show her the patience, love and care that a bunny deserves. To inquire about adopting Annie, contact Jennifer.
