Adoptions - Rabbit Haven

Welcome to Rabbit Haven’s adoption pages! You are in luck … we happen to have some irresistibly adorable rabbits who are looking for homes. Any bunnies that are together are a bonded pair. Bunnies bond for life, so they will need to be adopted together. Most bunnies are much happier living with another bunny since most people are gone during the day, they have each other for company.

We only adopt out to people who are looking to add bunnies to their family and willing to provide them with indoor housing ONLY. Rabbits are very social animals and like being around the people who adopt them. When bunnies are left outside or left in a garage, they are not part of a family and eventually get forgotten. It is a very scary place for a bunny left outside in a hutch. They are prey animals and can die of heart attacks or get so scared they run around in fear in the hutch and hurt themselves or break bones. When bunnies live indoors and are around people, they feel safer and stay much more healthier than outdoor bunnies.

We only adopt out to people willing to have the proper housing for their bunnies. Please check out the link below for some good ideas. If you have any questions regarding housing please call Angie @ 206-351-2637 to discuss what might work best for your situation.

Good source of proper rabbit housing.

Bobby McGee & Billie Jo were saved from certain death as they waited on the floor of the Tacoma Humane Society waiting to be euthanized. These two are both Mini Rexes and are the sweetest bunnies you will ever find. They are very, very bonded to each other and often they both will be snuggling in their box with just their heads out, just SO cute.

They would love to find a family that is willing to make them feel safe and let them out to play so they can show you just what wonderful bunnies they are.

Basic Adoption Information:

All Rabbit Haven rabbits are spayed or neutered before going to their adoptive homes.

The adoption fee is non-refundable, please consider it a contribution to Rabbit Haven. The fee for one bunny is $65 which covers the cost of the spay/neuter. The adoption fee for bonded pairs is $120.

All Rabbit Haven rabbits must be provided with a safe, indoor home.

If you are adopting a companion for your rabbit, bunny dates are encouraged. Bring your rabbit with you and let him/her choose a friend!

If you are interested in adopting one (or two?) of these rabbits, or any of the other rabbits residing at Rabbit Haven, please email us at adoptions@rabbithaven.org or call 253-265-0011 to leave a message. A volunteer will contact you to set up an interview which can be done through e-mail or by phone.

The next step is for a visit to Rabbit Haven to be scheduled. We are currently scheduling adoption visits and bunny dates for Saturdays until the new bunny facility is completed.

On the day of your visit, you will be introduced to all the Rabbit Haven residents. You will be encouraged to visit and play with any residents that interest you. Once a decision is made, you will be shown how to trim nails and clean scent glands on your newest family member. The rabbit will also be checked for any health concerns before going home. You will be given a bag of rabbit feed from the shelter along with instructions on how to transition your bun to the feed that you will be feeding. It is very important not to change a rabbit's diet suddenly.

Then it is time for us is to say our goodbyes and to thank your new family member for visiting with us until his/her new home became available. It is always with mixed emotions that we send our furry children off into the world. We will miss them as each one is special and such a blessing in his/her own individual way, but more so it is with great joy to witness and be a part of them getting their second or sometimes third chance in life.

You bring your new family member home that day, so you will want to be sure and bring a carrier lined with a towel or something bunny friendly to prevent slipping for the ride home. A medium size cat carrier typically works well unless you are looking at a larger breed rabbit which would need a larger carrier to accommodate their size accordingly.

We have an adoption policy and contract which can be downloaded by clicking the link below for your convenience. You are welcome to print these out to gain a clearer understanding of our expectations for adopters. You are also welcome to print them out and complete them so that you can bring them with you on your scheduled adoption date. Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions or need assistance with completing the forms.
