Doe-eyed Deery-Lou is a kind and curious girl. Despite coming from the fast paced Silicon Valley, this rabbit likes to take things slow. Slowing down to enjoy and appreciate the subtle comforts each day brings helps her grounded and happy. The softness of a blanket, the sweetness of a treat, the warmth of a hand gently petting her ears. She drinks this all in and gives back love and admiration to those that slow down to spend a little time with her.

Deery-Lou has a bit of a wobble! Though she has this neurological quirk, this does not impact her current health and wellness. No medical intervention is needed at this time but is good for her new family to let their primary veterinarian know as to better keep on eye on her long term health.

Here is what Deery-Lou's foster has to say about her:

"This morning, I offered Deery-Lou a “good morning” blueberry and OMG, this girl is potso for blueberries!! She will charge at you when she sees you holding one! She greatly enjoys her treats of choice, which would make her an excellent candidate for learning tricks. This would also help exercise her smartypants brain!

Another favourite snack of hers appears to be parsley–she eagerly gobbled up some that I brought in from my garden. She liked basil, too, and enjoyed the bunny buffet of windowbox tender lettuce greens I put out for her. She did not care for the pea pod I gave her.

She has two favourite places to hang out: on top of the tower, surveying her domain……and in the cubby closest to the door to the patio, where she can look out on all the green plants and hear the fountain burbling. "

Deery-Lou is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated against RHDV2 (vaccine needs to be administered annually). House Rabbit Society recommends all rabbits see a rabbit-savvy veterinarian once a year.

As rabbit guardians, we know how stressful it can be to find a rabbit-savvy veterinarian. Finding a clinic that sees rabbits can be difficult enough; finding one that can provide specialized or emergency care can feel nearly impossible. We hear from rabbit guardians across the country who are desperately searching for the medical care their beloved companions need.

We’re hard at work to help expand access to rabbit-savvy veterinary care nationwide. Through our veterinary training initiative, veterinary professionals and students from across the U.S. come to HRS to gain something they can rarely get elsewhere: hands-on experience caring for rabbits in a medical setting; skills that will directly expand access to quality care within their local communities.

By sharing our expertise with the next generation of veterinarians, veterinary technicians and assistants, and students, we’re helping build a stronger foundation for rabbit medicine across the country. And your ongoing support makes this work possible!

So far this year, 34 veterinary professionals and students have trained alongside our expert medical team at HRS through the initiative. They’ve come to our facility in Richmond from across the country—and even overseas—including students from Texas, Massachusetts, Washington, and Arizona, and one veterinary student even came from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland!

We’re especially excited to see more veterinary professionals from Bay Area animal shelters participating in the program this year. Veterinarians from Napa Humane, Pets in Need, the Nine Lives Foundation, Stockton Animal Services, and San Francisco Animal Care & Control have trained with our team to strengthen their rabbit-medicine skills. This is particularly significant because rabbits aren’t included in California’s statewide law that requires dogs and cats from shelters to be spayed or neutered before adoption. Helping more shelter veterinarians become confident performing rabbit spay/neuter procedures can make a big difference in preventing future unwanted litters and overcrowding in shelters.

Every veterinary professional we train has the potential to help countless rabbits throughout their career. Read more about the initiative on our blog: houserabbit.org/updates/august-2026-veterinary-training-initiative

Perched atop his favorite hidey home, Chococat keeps himself amused by watching all the activities and fun all around him. Some may call this nosey but we like to think of this as him staying up to date on all the cool treats, toys, and new friends stopping by. This beautiful boy hasn't been to a foster home yet so we don't know all his favorite greens and hobbies but if you are lucky to stop by soon, may just share his favs with you!

Chococat is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated against RHDV2 (vaccine needs to be administered annually). House Rabbit Society recommends all rabbits see a rabbit-savvy veterinarian once a year.

The Things are our rabbits of the month for September! Can you share and help them find a loving new home?

Thing 1 & Thing 2 are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. Here’s what a recent foster had to say about their time with the Things: “Thing 1 and Thing 2 are equally adventurous. Thing 1 enjoyed exploring tighter spots like under the couch and under the bed. Thing 2 would go farther and hop from room to room. He preferred to keep moving and exploring, rather than finding a spot like Thing 1 and staying put. Both loved playing on the bed – climbing pillows and running around the dog. They both did great with our Pomeranian, who is fairly chill himself. We also have two toddlers who they did fine with. They were tolerant of pets and accepting treats.

While they will explore, they also like to find a nice little spot to lounge and watch. These two are definitely smart and playful. They really enjoyed some of our baby toys like stacking cups and we made a little ball pit (snuck hay and treats in there and they loved to toss the balls out to find the treasures). Thing 1 is a bit more of a chewer – chewing boxes and the woven basket we got them and made quick work of the timothy hay tunnels we provided. She also was a little naughty and we caught her chewing on a kids book as well as on a foam playmat. Otherwise, they did not seem to chew on any wood, plants, baseboards, etc. although we kept a pretty watchful eye.

If you stay still on the ground, Thing 1 and Thing 2 will come over to explore and enjoy some pets, but otherwise they prefer to snuggle with each other and be more independent. They like to come to you on their terms. Overall they were great house guests who were up for exploring and adventuring but a little shy to start!”

Thing 1 & Thing 2 are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated against RHDV2 (vaccine needs to be administered annually). HRS recommends all rabbits see a rabbit-savvy veterinarian once a year. Visit houserabbit.org to submit an adoption application. Call (510) 970-7575 or email [email protected] with any questions you have and we'll be happy to talk with you!

Fostering is one of the most meaningful ways you can help a rabbit in need. A foster home gives a shelter rabbit the opportunity to relax, build confidence, learn to trust people, and show their true personalities, making them more likely to find a loving forever home.

Every rabbit who goes into foster care also frees up valuable space at our shelter, allowing us to rescue even more rabbits in need. It’s a simple act of kindness that creates a ripple effect, changing the lives of not just one rabbit, but several.

Fostering can also be incredibly rewarding for the person or family that fosters the rabbit. There’s nothing quite like watching a shy rabbit grow more confident, discover the joy of binkies, or finally flop over for a comfortable afternoon snooze because they know they’re safe. Helping a rabbit blossom into the wonderful house rabbit they're meant to be is an indescribable experience. And for anyone thinking about adopting but aren’t quite sure whether a rabbit is the right fit for their family, fostering is a wonderful way to experience the joys (and responsibilities!) of rabbit care before making a lifelong commitment.

One of our longtime foster volunteers recently reflected on how fostering changed not only the rabbits who stayed in their home, but also themselves. Read more on our blog at houserabbit.org/updates/august-2026-fostering.

And if you're able to open your heart and your home to an HRS foster rabbit this month, we'd love to talk with you! Many of our summer fosters are back to their fall routines and aren't able to continue fostering, so we're in need of a few new foster families. We'll send you with all the supplies you need to get started, and we only ask for a 2-week commitment. You can learn more at houserabbit.org/foster!

Are you looking for a rabbit you can just hang out and chill with? Look no further! Corn on the Cob is a mellow rabbit who would love to spend her days relaxing with you.

Here is what Corn on the Cob's foster says about her: "She is GORGEOUS and VERY cute. Has a beautiful brown and blue color pattern to her R eye, with a different shape to her pupil (does not seem to affect vision in any way). She’s a bit chonky right now, so we’re encouraging exercise to help her reach a heathier weight.

She also flops often, and does it right in front of me. A good sign she’s comfortable, plus it’s really cute! Often does “head binkies” when you talk to her and
enter the room. Throws toys if you rearrange them. Does some light binkies and zoomies after eating."

Corn on the Cob is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated against RHDV2 (vaccine needs to be administered annually). House Rabbit Society recommends all rabbits see a rabbit-savvy veterinarian once a year.

Liberty is a gorgeous girl who came to House Rabbit Society from the San Jose Shelter. She can in with an eye injury that just needed a little time, love and eye drops to help the healing. Naturally curious, this girl loves to seek out new friends who can shower her with love and affection. For her, nothing is sweeter than a lazy afternoon filled with snuggles and ear rubs.

Meet Dodgeball, our sporty and outgoing boy who came to HRS from the Napa County Shelter. Dodgeball loves all physical activity, whether it is throwing a ball into his water dish or running zoomies around your feet, this little athlete loves to be active and engaged. He has ben described as . Check out what Dodgeball's foster has to say about him:

"Dodgeball is incredibly curious and loves being part of whatever is happening around him. He likes to walk alongside his foster mom and has become especially interested in following our dog around. He also loves being near our kids. If someone is sitting on the floor doing a puzzle, you can almost guarantee Dodgeball will be right there in the middle of it, checking everything out.

His foster mom has also been so impressed with how clean and tidy he keeps his space and how happily he can free roam for hours. He is definitely curious — we’ve caught him investigating under all of our furniture and the baseboards a few times! — but he isn’t destructive at all and has been the perfect little house guest.

One of my favorite things about him is his morning zoomies and binkies. He gets so excited and happy, and it’s impossible not to smile watching him.

I really think Dodgeball would thrive in a home where he can freely roam and be part of the family. And based on how much he enjoys our dog, I think he may especially love a home with another animal. He’ll happily hop over to our dog, lay right next to him, or even initiate a little play session. He is such a sweet, curious, happy little guy, and we are absolutely smitten with him. ❤️"

Dodgeball is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated against RHDV2 (vaccine needs to be administered annually). House Rabbit Society recommends all rabbits see a rabbit-savvy veterinarian once a year.
