February is adopt a rescued rabbit month! We have bunnies of all ages, shapes, colors and sizes looking for their furever home. There are many benefits of adopting from a shelter rather than buying one from a pet store; already spayed/neutered, socialized, personality profile, litter box trained, vet checked, post adoption support and help with bonding! Come in a check out our shelter and what we are all about. If you can’t adopt we are always looking for volunteers. ❤️🐰💕

Erie Area Rabbit Shelter and Rescue

Erie Area Rabbit Society and Rescue began in 2013 when Ron and Linda realized there was not a shelter or rescue dedicated to rabbits. Rabbits are the third most adopted and surrendered pet in America so you would think they would be just as important as a dog and cat shelter but they are not. Most people do not even know the difference between domestic and wild rabbits.

When Linda and Ron began they only had a few bunnies that they had rescued but that number grew more and more as people became familiar with EARS. They moved to a new facility and continued to educate and grow. The purpose of EARS was to be care for bunnies and bunnies only.

EARS rescues bunnies who have been let loose outside and takes in surrenders from owners who can no longer care for their bunnies. We vet check all of the rabbits we take in and get them spay and neutered. Once they are cleared, they are eligible for adoption. Our adoption process includes home visits, vet references and approval from our adoption committee. We make sure our bunnies go to fur-ever homes.

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization so we receive no funding to help pay for medical costs, supplies, food, or staff to care for the bunnies. We rely solely on donations.
