appendix i
resources for rabbit owners
there are many shelters, organizations devoted to the welfare of domestic rabbits, and rabbit supply businesses in existence today. I cannot list them all, so I have decided to limit my listings primarily to those with which I am familiar.
rabbit health resources
House Rabbit Resource Network
P.O. Box 152432
Austin, TX 78715
www.rabbitresource.net
The House Rabbit Resource Network works to educate people about keeping rabbits in their homes and locates foster homes for rescued rabbits. They also sell an inexpensive ($17.95 at the time of this writing) emergency kit for rabbit owners. I highly recommend the HRRN kit as a good basic kit.
K-9 Carts
656 SE Bayshore Dr., Ste. #2
Oak Harbor, WA 98277
www.k9carts.com
This company is one of my exceptions to including only those companies I have dealt with because I have not yet needed a cart for a rabbit. K-9 Carts makes carts for disabled pets (including rabbits) which are custom built according to the animals weight, measurements, and needs. I was informed by K-9 Cartsthat they have been building carts for rabbits for over 20 years, and that most of the rabbits (about 95 percent) have adapted quite well to using a cart. Carts are not as expensive as you might expecta cart for a rabbit would cost from $250 up.
RHD (VHD) in the U.S. Coalition
www.kindplanet.org/vhd/vhd.html
Unfortunately, this Web page is no longer active, but it is kept up so that concerned individuals can still read the information about RHD. I urge every rabbit owner to read the information still available on this inactive site. It may save your rabbits life.
shelters and sanctuaries
Adopt-a-Rabbit Program, The Fund for Animals Rabbit Sanctuary
P.O. Box 80036
Simpsonville, SC 29680
www.adopt-a-rabbit.org
This South Carolina sanctuary provides a permanent home for about 100 rabbits which have come from shelters, breeders, laboratories, and unfit homes. It is unusual in that actual physical adoptions do not take place since the rescued rabbits are guaranteed a home for life in the rabbitats at the sanctuary. Adoptions are virtual, that is, your donation helps provide care for the rabbits, and you are sent a picture and history of your rabbit for a donation of $20 or more. People residing near Simpsonville, SC may inquire about volunteer work at the sanctuary.
Best Friends Animal Sanctuary
5001 Angel Canyon Rd.
Kanab, UT 84741-5001
www.bestfriends.org
This large, no-kill sanctuary includes a Bunny House with many wonderful rabbits waiting to be adopted. Check out the Web site to learn about the rabbits currently available for adoption.
Best Friends also sponsors Best Friends Network, a network of animal lovers and organizations across the country dedicated to no more homeless pets. People who call or e-mail requesting information are put in contact with a volunteer in their area. Visit the Best Friends Web site for more information on Best Friends Network.
Brambley Hedge Rabbit Rescue
P.O. Box 54506
Phoenix, AZ 85078-4506
www.bhrabbit.rescue.org
Brambley Hedge is one of my exceptions to including only those organizations I have dealt with because I have heard such wonderful things about them from people I trust. Brambley Hedge volunteers rescue abused and unwanted domestic rabbits and run a non-profit, no-kill shelter. They have placed many of their rabbits in good homes over the fifteen years the have been in operation. Volunteers at Brambley Hedge are also active in educating the public on proper rabbit care.
BunnyLuv Rabbit Resource Center
16742 Stagg Street #104
Van Nuys, CA 91406
www.bunnyluv.org
To quote from the Web page, BLRRC is a non-profit, no-kill animal welfare organization, offering education, adoption, and care, plus services and supplies for domestic rabbits and the humans who luv them. See also entry for BunnyLuv Essentials under Rabbit Supplies.
