How and Why we Began:
There is a limited supply of Domestic Bunny Rescues and Resources. Our Mission Statement:
Helping domestic ra

bbits in need through sheltering, adoption, education, spay/neuter, and community outreach. Our Story:
With a history in animal rescue, we began to realize that there were many problems in the domestic rabbit rescue world. With overpopulation, rabbits being abandoned or dumped, lack of knowledge of rabbit care, and limited rescues specializing in their care, rehab, and adoption. We decided to answer the call and immediately felt the need. Within the first month, they had over 30 surrender requests some being rabbits found in the streets, or being dumped. After one year we had saved over 120 rabbits and had over 100 adoptions. However, we still have a long waitlist for intake and more at shelters waiting to be pulled. We keep a maximum of 25 adoptable rabbits (between foster homes, and our adoption center), as we like to keep our rescue small so we can ensure we get to personally know each rabbit so they are spoiled and receive special care before going to their forever homes. With many of our rabbits needing some time after intake for a proper diet, retrust in humans, and socialization, we want to ensure they receive the slow transition so they become the best bunnies for their family. As we celebrate our accomplishments, we also want to celebrate what a gift it is to have such a supportive and generous community that supports this journey. Our rescue focuses on the unwanted, abandoned, mistreated, and abused domestic rabbits, we want to show them the life they deserve. As a 501c Rescue, The Bunny Trail Rescue is solely donation-based. Therefore, we must rely on fundraising and help from the community to achieve our budgetary goals.

Welcome, dear Penelope, to our cozy burrow!

This charming bunny was found as a stray in Carmel Valley back in November 2024. After being rescued, she was taken to Hitchcock Animal Services.

We are thrilled to share that Penelope is scheduled to be spayed next Friday, after which she will be ready to find her forever home. This sweet girl is sweet and playful, and she will surely bring joy to any family lucky enough to adopt her. Get ready to welcome this delightful companion into your life!

Foster • Adopt • Volunteer • Foster-To-Adopt • Support
We are always looking for caring individuals to provide foster homes for our bunnies. If you are considering adoption, you can even foster-to-adopt.
Our organization is committed to rescuing bunnies that are at risk of being euthanized in shelters. Most of these bunnies have never experienced a loving home or proper care from humans. It is sad to think that these innocent creatures have been through a lot of heartbreak and neglect.

However, once in foster homes, our bunnies receive the gift of experiencing what it feels like to be loved and cared for by a family. They get to be the center of attention and receive the care they deserve. Our dedicated foster families provide a safe and comfortable environment for these bunnies to thrive in.

Our foster families work hard to regain the trust of these bunnies. Many of them were mistreated or abandoned, and as a result, have lost faith in humans. With time, patience, and love, our foster families help these bunnies regain their trust and confidence.

It is a joy to see the transformation in these bunnies as they learn to trust and love again. We are grateful for our foster families who make this possible and are proud to be a part of making a difference in the lives of these rescued bunnies.

Ensure your holiday is a joyful experience for your little friend. Embrace these essential safety tips to protect your bunny and let the festivities shine bright.

***Plants & Christmas Trees*** - If your Christmas tree has not been treated with fire retardants, pesticides, or paint, it should be safe for your bunny to chew on. However, keep in mind that natural chemical compounds in some evergreens may cause your bunny's urine to turn a more orange color than usual; this is not a health concern.

***Lights, Cords, Decorations*** If possible, place your Christmas tree in a room where your bunny doesn't play. If this isn't feasible, you can make the tree "off-limits" to your rabbit by surrounding it with a puppy pen, or by using the pen to section off the area of the room where the tree is located. This will help keep both you and your rabbit safe from chewed electrical cords and will help preserve your favorite Christmas ornaments as well.

***Company and the Hubbub of the Holidays*** To help reduce your rabbit's stress, try to maintain her routine as much as possible. Remember to give her plenty of attention and reassurance. If your bunny is especially sensitive to noise and activity, consider moving her to a quieter room when you have company.

This Giving Tuesday, consider supporting your local bunny rescue.
The domestic bunny crisis in California is escalating, and your support is more vital than ever. Rising costs for supplies, utilities, and medical care are depleting our budget, while we continue to operate over maximum capacity. Adoption rates are at their lowest in three years, making our mission even more urgent.

Every bunny in our care has been rescued from euthanasia lists, some arriving in extremely poor condition. Local shelters face challenges in providing long-term care, and without timely intervention, many rabbits risk losing their lives due to space limitations.

By supporting your local bunny rescues, you help us partner with shelters, rehabilitate bunnies, and prepare them for loving new homes. Together, we can make a difference and give these wonderful animals a second chance at life.

In just three inspiring years since our founding, we have rescued over 230 bunnies, finding loving homes for more than 200 of them. With 100% of our funding coming from community donations, every contribution—no matter the size—makes a significant impact, allowing us to care for our bunnies and give them the love they deserve while they await their forever families.

We are thrilled to announce a new fun initiative aimed at supporting our beloved bunnies in a fun and creative way! We invite all of our artistically gifted supporters to unleash their creativity by designing adorable and imaginative drawings. These drawings will be transformed into vibrant stickers, which will then be available for donation.

If you’re passionate about art and want to contribute to our furry friends, this is the perfect opportunity. Your unique designs can help raise awareness and funds for bunny care and welfare. Whether you prefer illustrations, doodles, or any other artistic style, we would love to see your creations!

We can’t wait to see your amazing drawings, due by December 4th. Don’t forget to include the name of the adorable bunny you’re featuring—it’ll really help highlight their cuteness! Once we have all the drawings in, we’ll share them for voting, and the top five will be made into fun stickers!

We can't wait to showcase our community's incredible talent and bring these delightful stickers to life. Join us in making a positive impact while expressing your creativity! Happy Drawing!

Our adoption center is now open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Families are welcome to visit our adoptable bunnies and learn about opportunities for fostering, adopting, and volunteering.

We kindly ask that families refrain from holding or opening kennels while the adoption center is open to the public. This policy helps us ensure a safe and comfortable environment for our bunnies and is reserved for our wonderful volunteers and those with adoption appointments. Since bunnies can be quite territorial, minimizing interactions before entering their space helps reduce the risk of biting. Thank you for your understanding and support! We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our bunnies happy and safe.

Jimmy Buffets favorite things he does every day♥️ Destruct his clean cage by digging out his entire litter box and trying to destroy his kennel toys 😂 he is a boy on a mission!

Thank you all for your support from our last post. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions the last 24hrs. Emotions of anger and disgust, to emotions of grief and sadness. But then there are moments of joy watching Nina explore and enjoy new things. She loves to hop around and she even started saying hello to people last night. ♥️🐰 she is so resilient and brave. We are so proud of her. We cannot wait to continue to watch her blossom on this new journey.
