HELP US SAVE THESE POOR BUNNIES
Urgent rescue to save, treat, vaccinate, desex, and care for dumped injured rabbits, and find them good homes.
Nationwide
Horrible people dumped a box jammed full of bunnies in terrible shape at a park on a stinking hot day. 3 females, 2 males, and a baby. None desexed. All suffering from heatstroke. The females probably pregnant. Encrusted with pooh, and with fight wounds, indicating that they’d all been crammed in a single small cage for some time. Nasty people. However…
A good person witnessed this, rounded the rabbits up, and turned them over to our team. All the rabbit rescues are overly full and understandably couldn’t accept these 6 bunnies. We were advised multiple times that the only option was euthanasia. Unthinkable. One of our ladies, against all odds and many huge challenges, has offered to care for the rabbits TEMPORARILY. So, it’s an urgent rescue campaign, and we need your help.
Please CONTRIBUTE to their rescue fund here for vaccinations ($90 per rabbit), vet bills, food, hay, shavings, flea & mite treatment, urgent care nutrition, etc etc etc. Desexing will be covered by an SPCA grant, thank goodness.
We'll search for fosters and adopters via The Animal Sanctuary FB page...

NEARING THE FINISH LINE?? 5 March 2026
Poor Ollie has had a rough time. Although all the rabbits in that damned box had fight wounds and were treated with pain meds and antibiotics, one of the wounds on Ollie’s shoulder got infected. Many vet visits, multiple rounds of antibiotics and pain meds… but there was still a lump under the skin. His fosterer Ruby was so diligent in finding it and insisting that something was still wrong.
When rabbits get a wound infection, the puss is thick like toothpaste. It doesn’t come out easily, and can become encapsulated. Finally Ollie had to have surgery, and sure enough a large lump was removed. Thank goodness it hasn’t affected his movement or his charm at all!! He’s on a final round of meds, and will hopefully get the vets “all clear” this Friday for adoption.
Ideally we’ll find a family with a lonely lady rabbit to become his one true love. Is that you? With all that Ollie’s been through, please help us find his Happily Ever After, in a home so wonderful that he’ll forget his sad past.
Contact us to express your interest in adopting Ollie in the hopefully near future.

Annabelle, that's very kind of you. Thank you for your support!
Thank you Sarah. We appreciate your support and kindness!
Lauren, I've just realised that I never thanked you for your donation. My apologies. It was right before Christmas, and I dropped the ball. I really do appreciate your support!!
Victoria, this is wonderful! We have someone who wants to adopt the baby rabbit (once he's neutered and vaccinated), but we need to desex her female and get her vaccinated, too. Our grant will pay for her desexing, and your donation will now pay for her vax. Perfect! Thanks so very very much.
Thank you so much for this generous donation to help with the rescued rabbits. We really appreciate it.
