Wellington Rabbit Rescue is a registered, not for profit charity that takes in abused, neglected, sick, injured, abandoned, and otherwise at-risk companion rabbits. WRR operates via a foster network of private homes. While rabbits are in our care they receive any veterinary treatment they require. They are housed in large enclosures so they can exhibit natural rabbit behaviour, and are fed a high
quality diet. Once the rabbits are healthy and ready for adoption they are desexed and vaccinated with filavac.
*All rabbits desexed by WRR are microchipped (as of June 2020)
We inspect potential homes, and require the rabbits to be housed in a large, safe area of a minimum 2x3 metres of floor space, with at least 1.5 metres in height. This is in addition to shelter which provides protection from all weather conditions. Rabbits are social creatures, who do best in desexed pairs of the opposite sex. Same-sex pairs can often result in fighting, so for this reason our policy is to only re-home in desexed pairs of one male, and one female. If the potential new family has an existing rabbit, WRR will help mix/bond the pair before the adoption can be processed. WRR only resort to euthanasia in cases where quality of life is no longer viable, and these decisions are made under the guidance and advice of our trusted veterinarians. If rabbits cannot be safely re-homed due to long-term health conditions, they will stay in the care of the charity. WRR relies on public donations, and receives no government funding.
