Thank you to for coming to the shelter yesterday for our RHDV2 vaccine clinic! It’s important to get your bunnies vaccinated and annually boosted for RHDV2, a horrific and fatal rabbit disease.

Our vaccine clinics are open to the public but you must RSVP. We haven’t set the date for our next clinic yet, but will announce it on social media as soon as we do.

Wesley was the goodest boy this morning as we headed to the vet for his sedated dental float, tear duct flush, and skull x-rays. We hope to narrow down the cause of his weepy eye.

Please help us with Wesley’s and our other bunnies’ medical expenses! PayPal.me/wmrabbitrescue

Peggy was such a good girl at the vet today! We had Dr. Pelletier take a look at a minor nose injury, which is fortunately healing well. She also got a good bill of health, with the exception of being a bit chonky (we are working on that).

Peggy and her sister Angelica are available for adoption. We rescued them three years ago from a backyard breeding operation and adopted them out two years ago, but they came back to WMRR when their adopter’s living situation unexpectedly changed. These sweet sisters are quite shy but will very slowly warm up to you with time and patience. They are tightly bonded and enjoy flopping next to each other.

To adopt Peggy and Angelica, email westernmassrabbitrescue AT gmail DOT com for an application!

Meet Fribble!

Fribble was rescued by a kind person after she was bounced around from home to home. This darling little lady is nine years old which makes her a senior bunny. We don’t know a whole lot about her life before she came to us, but we suspect she is not spayed, and we surmise she likely did not receive regular veterinary care.

Fribble will be getting a health checkup before we spay her. We are very concerned about her reproductive health, as unspayed females have an 80% chance of developing reproductive cancers by age 5, with that number increasing as they age. Spaying can eliminate localized tumors.

Naju is feeling a little witchy! She’s certainly cast a spell on us, and once she gets her RHDV2 “boo”ster on Tuesday, she will be ready for her forever home.

Do you have space in your heart and home for a snuggly, friendly bunny? Email us at westernmassrabbitrescue AT gmail DOT com for an application.

Adopted! After 715 days with WMRR, Bruno has FINALLY found his forever home! We are absolutely elated and wish Bruno and his wonderful new family the best. Congratulations!

10/25/2024

We just love Proton’s adorable snoot! This sweet girl was rescued from a hoarding situation and is thriving in her foster home! Proton is a little love. She is spayed, vaccinated, and ready to find her forever home.

Beautiful Zelda, Hilda’s sister, is also seeking her foster or foster-to-adopt home! She is a spirited girl with a big, playful personality. Zelda get spayed on November 10. She is not yet vaccinated for RHDV2.

If you are interested in fostering or pre adopting Zelda, email us at westernmassrabbitrescue AT gmail DOT com.

10/24/2024

Hilda demonstrates the art of the flop. She has made herself at home at the shelter, but we would love to find a foster home! She is getting spayed on November 10, so she would need to be back at the shelter the day before. She is also not yet vaccinated for RHDV2.

Hilda is overweight and needs a lot of room to exercise. She is a very sweet girl who enjoys head pets. If you would like to foster or foster-to-adopt Hilda, please email us at westernmassrabbitrescue AT gmail DOT com for an application!

10/23/2024

Congratulations Cannoli, who went off to her foster-to-adopt home! She will be coming back to the rescue for her RHDV2 booster and joining other shelter buns for our next spay/neuter day. After that, her adoption will be complete! We are so happy for her and her forever family.

Wesley and Buttercup are the friendliest welcoming committee! They often come with us as ambunssadors when we do educational visits and have been great foster bunnies for the families who have been lucky enough to host them.

Unfortunately, Wesley has a teary eye that hasn’t responded to topical medications, so we have scheduled a sedated flush with mouth exam and skull radiographs to determine the cause. Lops are prone to dental issues, so the sedated exam will allow the vet to get a much better look at his molars.

We’ve been asking for donations and many of you have generously given. We are extremely grateful! With Wesley’s upcoming appointment, we are hoping we can raise enough to cover his veterinary bill (estimated at about $600).

Beware of scammers! We don’t sell apparel in the comments.

10/22/2024

We settled on a name for our little witchy girl—Sabrina! (She is just too sweet to be a Sanderson sister!) Sabrina is spayed, though not yet vaccinated for RHDV2, which means we would ask potential adopters to bring her to our next clinic or have her vaccinated themselves.

Email westernmassrabbitrescue AT gmail DOT com if you wish to foster or adopt this adorable gal!

10/19/2024

Sweet little Neutron is seeking her forever home! This sweet girl is one of Astrea’s kits from an early litter, and just like her momma is an angel.

Neutron is on the skinny side so we are supplementing her food—she still insists on eating young rabbit pellets and Timothy hay and turns her nose up at adult rabbit food, but we’ve been working on her by mixing them together.

We think Neutron would be best living in a home with an experienced bunny family who can monitor her weight to keep her healthy. She likes Critical Care and is cooperative with syringe feeding. Email us at westernmassrabbitrescue AT gmail DOT com for an application!

10/18/2024

We have a new bunny at WMRR! She was taken in by a kind person who found her wandering around her neighborhood. She had a litter of kits who sadly didn’t make it, and has since been spayed.

What should we name her? We were thinking a Halloween-appropriate name, like Sabrina, Buffy, or maybe Winifred! What do you think?

We urgently need your help to keep our rescue going! Please donate: PayPal.me/wmrabbitrescue

10/18/2024

Chocolate Pudding is as sweet as his name! This sweet little fluffball was rescued shortly after being abandoned outside, and not a moment too soon! Domestic rabbits do not have the same survival instincts as wild buns, and dumping them is not just a felony, but a death sentence for the bun. Fortunately, sweet little Pudding was rescued and brought to WMRR.

Pudding has an adoptive home lined up, but we need help paying for his and other rabbits’ neuters, spays, vaccinations, and other medical expenses. We are in desperate need of funds—please help!

French Fry loves Halloween, but he would much rather you pet him than take photos of him with a silly hat.

French Fry is a beautiful Chinchilla rabbit who was rescued from outdoors. This big boy loves having a lot of space (he will treat you to lots of zoomiess and binkies) but oftens return to his pen when he is ready to relax/rest. He is very food motivated and will accept treats from your hand—he loves being hand-fed individual straws of hay! He makes himself very comfortable; sometimes he loafs in his litter box, or stretches out his legs on the mat, and loves flopping in his little hay house.

Email westernmassrabbitrescue AT gmail DOT com for an application for this big, handsome boy!

Hilda, Zelda, and Draco all had checkups today at Riverbend Animal Hospital and despite Hilda and Zelda needing to shed a bit of weight, they are all healthy! All three will be fixed in November, and while Draco has a home lined up, we hope to rebond the girls after their spay and adopt them out as a pair.

Spays, neuters, and checkups add up! Our coffers are empty and we need your help. Please donate (link is in the comments).

10/15/2024

Pygmalion loves getting spoopy! But what’s really scary is our checking account—we are desperately in need of donations to pay for veterinary bills for a whole bunch of rabbits, not to mention day-to-day shelter needs.

The donation link is in the comments. Please help us!

10/14/2024

Boo! Rigby may not be so scary, but our veterinary bills are! We need your help covering current veterinary expenses for the rabbits we have recently taken into the shelter. Please consider making a donation in any amount—the link is in the comments.

Meet the many sides of Bruno! This handsome fella is the sweetest, friendliest dude and he has been waiting for his forever home for almost TWO years!

Bruno would like to be the only bunny in his home and needs lots of room to run, hop, and perform epic binkies. He loves attention and gets along well with older kids. Would you consider opening your heart and home to this giant goofball? Email westernmassrabbitrescue AT gmail DOT com for an application!

Coco enjoyed getting spooky at the shelter! She is an beautiful older adult who is seeking her forever home. She is spayed but not yet vaccinated for RHDV2—though we can sign her up once our next vaccine clinic has been scheduled.

Coco is shy but very sweet. She would do best in a quiet home. Email us at westernmassrabbitrescue AT gmail DOT com for an application!

10/13/2024

Asparagus enjoyed getting spooky today at the shelter! This sweet girl was rescued from an asparagus farm (thank you to the wonderful folks who rescued her!) and is thriving. She loves receiving pets and getting love and attention—not to mention treats!

Asparagus is spayed, vaccinated, and ready to find her forever home. Email us at westernmassrabbitrescue AT gmail DOT com for an application!

WMRR alumna Peaches absolutely loves her puzzle toy! Though it’s rated “most difficult,” she figured it out in seconds. Bunnies need toys to keep them enriched, and this is a really great toy (meant for dogs!) to keep her busy and reward her at the same time. We are constantly amazed by how clever bunnies can be!

Foster bunny Bruno is inspecting this week’s farm share bounty—all for Bruno! Turn up the volume for maximum crunch. His foster mom swears he gets more from my farm share than she does! He’s inspecting the bowl of fronds, carrot tops, parsley, and cut celery. (Naturally he only gets a very small serving!)

Yesterday was Peaches’s 1 Year Adopt-a-versary! Her family has been doing agility training with her and shared this video with us of Peaches doing her thing! Her family says, “We are over the moon with this adorable, insanely intelligent, mischievous diva. We taught her to do agility ant she absolutely loves it. She learned it in 5 minutes!”

Naju drinks water

Meet Naju! This sweet girl was found abandoned in the same neighborhood where we rescued who we believe is her sister, Jinju. Today we saw soaring temps and Naju was caught just in time—she eagerly slurped up a crock of water as soon as we had her safe. Dumping domestic rabbits outside is a death sentence. Domestic rabbits, who are descended from European rabbits (and only distantly related to cottontails), are not able to survive in our climate and are easily susceptible to parasites and predators. Rabbits are not “happy” being outdoors and as we could see from Naju’s behavior, she was hot and dehydrated. Thankfully, she is starting to perk up now that she is hydrated and comfortable.

Silly Bruno loves digging in his blanket! It’s so adorable how he pops his head up toward the end of the video. Bruno has been with WMRR since 2022 and we would love to find him his forever home! Email westernmassrabbitrescue AT gmail DOT com for an adoption application!

Enjoy soothing ASMR brought to you by Bruno munching on a snack. He has been looking for his forever home since November 2022. Bruno is smart, goofy, adorable, and an absolute delight! Email westernmassrabbitrescue AT gmail DOT com for an adoption application. Let’s find this handsome stud his forever family!

Electron is feeling so much better! He is nibbling pellets and hay and pooping! We will continue to give him supportive care for the next week. We are beyond grateful to @boltonveterinaryhospital for making space to see us at 3am on Monday—they saved his life.

Look at that good girl eating hay! Way to go, Peanut! 🥜

Bandit and Prudence enjoy playing with an egg carton toy—stuffed with pellets and hay—their foster family made them. These two cutie pies are so playful and smart! To apply to adopt these happily bonded gals, email [email protected].

My name is Brownie🥰 I’m staying with a new foster mom for a little while. She has these things that she calls cats that come and sleep by me next to the expen and another kind of thing she calls dogs. One of the dogs likes to stick her nose through the xpen to say hi! I’m getting used to them. My foster family includes a smaller human who is also very nice to me. I’m getting used to small humans too. I love to play in my hay and snuggle with my teddy in my cubby box. I especially love tearing my box apart. I love pellets the best! And, hay. I was a little chunky when I got here so foster mom is working on helping me lose some weight so I can live a long time. I’m not too sure about salads but I have been eating them lately. Maybe they are pretty good. I’m very curious and playful. I love my stacking cups and can play with them for a long time. I also love chewing on different kinds of edible balls and I love treats (in moderation). I can be shy initially but I warm up and I love to get loving. I hope someone adopts me soon so I can have my forever home. Email [email protected] for@an application! You won’t be sorry—my foster mom says I am awesome! I believe her.

Snowy had to get subcutaneous penicillin injections every three days (which he tolerates) and his ears cleaned daily (which he hates) so we make sure he is properly rewarded for being a Very Good Boy. Bananas are his absolute favorite! 🍌🐇

It boggles our minds that Rosmerta hasn’t been adopted yet! This shy yet very sweet and playful girl would make an amazing furry companion. We rescued her in October 2021 from an abandoned breeding operation. Let’s find sweet Rosmerta her forever home! Email [email protected] for an adoption application!

Peekaboo, Peaches! This sweet gal delights her temporary foster family who is bunnysitting her while our shelter undergoes renovations. She’s available for adoption! Email [email protected] for an adoption application!
