Due to the COVID 19 stay at home orders issued on March 30 by the governors of Maryland and Virginia, all Friends of Rabbits adoption and grooming events have been suspended.

We will continue to accept and process adoption applications, however, we do not know when you will be able to take home your rabbit. We understand that this may be frustrating, but we are doing our best to comply with social distancing and stay at home guidelines. While waiting to complete an adoption, you will be connected with our fosterers and adoptable bunnies via video chat whenever possible.

We have many wonderful rabbits waiting to be adopted. We encourage you to view them on Petfinder and submit an adoption application so that we can move them into their forever homes as soon as possible once the order is lifted.

Limited grooming services will be available by appointment where essential for the health and hygiene of your rabbit. We strongly recommend postponing routine nail clippings and groomings. For more information, please email grooming@friendsofrabbits.org.

How you can help

Friends of Rabbits is made up of volunteers who simply care about saving bunnies. People are its lifeblood. Without people, Friends of Rabbits would not exist. Friends of Rabbits also works with shelters, holding fund raising events such as spa days so that the shelter rabbits can receive veterinary care or be spayed and neutered.

Are you not sure what you can do? Please look at the volunteer page and see how your time can help.

Donations, both monetary and in-kind, enable Friends of Rabbits to foster, spay or neuter, and find a home for shelter rabbits.

Shop with one of our fundraising partners, and a portion will be given back to Friends of Rabbits.

Or consider adopting, and giving a rabbit their forever home.

Donate to Friends of Rabbits

Your donations make it possible for Friends of Rabbits to care for abandoned and neglected rabbits and find them wonderful forever homes. We spent nearly $75,000 on veterinary care in 2019, our single largest expense.

Your support will help us rescue more homeless rabbits in 2020.

Friends of Rabbits recently added 5 nursing litters, 24 new babies!, to the 17 we already had. There will be considerable costs to spay and neuter these bunnies before they can be adopted. Your donation will help prepare them for their fur-ever home.
