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...

BUNNY UPDATE 15 December 2025
All 6 rabbits now have individual indoor spaces, where they’re being closely watched while under urgent care. It's temporary, not permanent housing. (And before you complain about lack of bedding, it was added right after the photos were taken, I promise!) All 6 bunnies are now eating on their own, and all 6 are now poohing regularly. You have no idea how important this is, as rabbits are prone to stasis: a potentially fatal condition where the digestive system slows down or stops. We’re very relieved. Ruby is doing an AMAZING job of caring for them. She’s a hero. All are being treated with panacure and baycox, and also flea treatment.
Your donations have been used for meds, vet bills, food, litter, outdoor houses to move to, etc etc: And we're saving up to have all 6 rabbits vaccinated against the deadly RHDV (virus), so they can eventually have outdoor time.

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.
Oh my goodness! I'm blown away by your generosity. With your donation, we can guarantee that all 6 rabbits will be vaccinated. They can't go outside until they have the vax against the deadly RHDV. Thank you so very very much for your compassion, and your support.
Bev, that's so kind. Thanks for your help with the bunnies!
Thank you, Annabelle. We appreciate your support!
