Valley Rabbit Rescue

Please “note”, I run a rescue where I’m on foot rescuing stray/dumped or injured animals.
I also help other rescues with trapping/transportation and cost of vetting.

I DO NOT have animals for adoptions if you can see by my page.

I work so hard for my beautiful things. That I do not want my home to look like hoarding facility. I have a spare room for emergencies. I’m a foster for local cat rescue. If I have to rescue a bunny off the streets. The bunny stays with me until it goes to the Ottawa humane society, I rather see a bunny going there. Where it’s safe and will be vetted. Put up for
adoption. And the multiplying ends here.

I have two bunnies of my own that I rescue during covid, that I decided to keep. I use an exotic vet in Ottawa.

I DO NOT ask for donations or supplies. I do this on my own because I CARE!

This goes for those awful rescues that are selling animals for profits and not vetting them. They are worse than pet stores. The hoarding begins! Animals multiplying! Adding to the problem. Especially adding to my problems.

I can relate! I cared for a rescued holland lopped bunny for over 3 years. Traveling back and forth to Ottawa to the vets. Sometimes weekly. A problem after another. So much time off work. The stress, always on the run! As a rescuer you don’t want to see any animals suffer. You have to be there for them. Do your research or call a rescue before getting a bunny.
Adopt DON’T shop.

⚠️ Lop Bunnies: The Hidden Cost of “Cute” ⚠️
With their adorable, droopy ears, lop bunnies may seem irresistibly cute, but these features come at a heartbreaking price. Lops are bred for unique traits that can lead to a lifetime of health challenges & discomfort.
🐰 Chronic Ear Pain – Their ear shape limits airflow, making them prone to infections, abscesses, & painful ear issues that affect balance & hearing.
🐰 Severe Dental Problems – Their skull shape causes teeth misalignment, leading to painful overgrowth, difficulty eating, & other complications.
🐰 Respiratory Issues – Their compact head structure can cause respiratory distress, impacting quality of life & requiring ongoing treatment.
🐰 Eye Problems – Lops often have narrow or kinked tear ducts, leading to chronic tearing & discomfort. They are prone to eye issues like conjunctivitis & corneal ulcers.
These issues aren't just accidents—they’re a direct result of breeding for “cute” features, prioritizing looks over well-being. Breeders often focus on aesthetics instead of the suffering these traits cause.
Annual check-ups by a bunny-savvy vet are essential to catch potential health issues early. Be vigilant & monitor for changes in behavior or physical condition. If you notice anything unusual, consult with your vet & book an appointment right away.
At Amy's Bunny Barn, we are committed to the well-being of all our rabbits. Bunnies adopted from us have been assessed by a vet, & we are transparent about any medical issues or concerns. We provide education on care & important signs to watch for, ensuring adopters are prepared to give their new friends the love & attention they deserve.
If you’re thinking about adopting a lop, remember the commitment to their ongoing veterinary care & the health challenges they may face. Let’s raise awareness & advocate for ethical treatment & care for all rabbits, not just by adopting, but by speaking out against breeding practices that prioritize “cuteness” over health. 💔

Total of six weeks traveling and chasing! Late at night early mornings. Finally caught the last bunny that was dumped at a trailer park! Both bunnies has been rescued. First bunny has been vetted and adopted. Second bunny has been vetted and just put up for adoption.

Thanks to all the people who help me out at the trailer park. Everyone was so kind.

Best part about rescuing is making new friends! ❤️‍🩹

CARE is still looking for a foster for this beautiful purebred ragdoll cat! The owner must surrender the cat due to unforeseen circumstances. Cricket will need a quite home without other pets. She is very friendly and loves to lay on your lap to be petted.

CARE provides all the vetting and food needed for this lovely cat.

Hope you can open your home and hearts to her?❤

CARE has a Foster-to- Adopt program, which gives people the opportunity to get to know a particular cat before making a commitment to adopt. This program is only open to senior cats.

We would like to introduce Cricket; she is a beautiful purebred ragdoll and is looking for a quite retirement home. Cricket is better suited in a home that she is the only pet.

She is a healthy 10 yr old cat that loves to be petted, getting her hair brushed and enjoying special treats.

If you are interested in Cricket, please send us an email at [email protected] for more information.

Thanks!

You can give second chances to animals like Elsa.

Elsa is a one-year-old American rabbit who was found in a garbage bag on the side of the road. She was pregnant.

Shortly after arriving at the OHS, she gave birth. This little family is now resting and recovering in a loving foster home.
