We met our goal! 🎉

It's Giving Tuesday! 💙

This , we need YOUR help to raise $1,500 to boost our barn renovation campaign to $13,000 total dollars raised!

Great Lakes Rabbit Sanctuary is committed to providing the best care for our 70+ adoptable bunnies, but our Adoption Barn and Binkyville buildings need urgent floor repairs to meet the Department of Agriculture’s standards. These repairs are vital for the safety and well-being of our bunnies.

Can we count on you to help us today? Every donation allows us to save more bunny lives!

Socks is here to remind you not only that he's ready for his forever home, but that tomorrow is !

Aptly named for his cute white sock on his front feet, Socks is a busy bunny, who loves to explore and play! Like most rabbits, he prefers to keep his feet on the floor, and will need a little patience from his new family to learn to enjoy pets. He's so smart though, and loves treats, so he might even enjoy learning some tricks! Could you be his forever family? 💙

To learn more about Socks, visit him on Petfinder (tinyurl.com/Glrs-petfinder) or email us at [email protected] -- and don't forget to keep an eye out for our Giving Tuesday posts tomorrow!

We're thankful for everyone who makes GLRS possible! 💙

Our wonderful care team and volunteers who make sure the animals are always taken care of, even on holidays before spending time with their own families. And of course YOU, our supporters, who we can always rely on to help keep the lights on.

Tell us (or show us 🐰) who/what you're thankful for!

April is ready for her forever home! 💙

This sweet girl has been THROUGH it, and now she deserves nothing but the best with a family of her own! April came to us earlier this year, then developed pyometra AND gave birth to seven healthy babies. Her babies are all grown and finding homes of their own now, and it's her turn too!

April is a confident girl who loves to explore and jump! She's so good at jumping and exploring that she will need a family with bunny-proofing experience to keep her safe. But we promise she's worth the extra effort— she loves pets, snacks and attention just as much as she love hopping! Could you be her forever family?

To learn more about April, visit her on Petfinder (https://tinyurl.com/Glrs-April) or email us at [email protected]!

Just rescued! 💙

This sweet girl was dumped in an apartment complex, but thankfully a kind person saw her and caught her before she had to spend too much time out in the elements on her own. With cold weather fast approaching, she's definitely a lucky girl!

Please help us with her care if you're able by donating below or at rabbitsanctuary.org/donate

She's also going to need a name! If you want to help pick her name (along with other perks), consider becoming a monthly donor at Patreon.com/glrs

Mateo went to his forever home last month! 💙

He was adopted by an experienced bun parent and will absolutely be living the life. We're so excited for both of them!

If you're interested in adding a rescued rabbit to your family, check out our adoptable rabbits on Petfinder at tinyurl.com/Glrs-Petfinder or email us at [email protected] to get started!

We have a bunch of new faces up on Petfinder, and first up is Cookie!

Cookie was transferred to us from another rescue that doesn't specialize in rabbits, and the environment there was just too stressful for him. Now that he's safe and comfortable with us, his outgoing personality is really coming out! He's very confident, loves treats, and would love to meet you!

You can learn more about Cookie at https://tinyurl.com/GLRS-Cookie or email us [email protected]!

We're calling him Lucky, because he's lucky to be alive!

This morning, 11/5, our care manager arrived at the sanctuary and saw a box in the middle of the driveway. She walked up to it, thinking the high winds last night must've blown some trash around, but when she saw it was a cardboard carrier... She knew there was someone inside the box. 💔

When she opened the box she found this sweet lop boy! She got there just in time, too, because he had almost chewed his way out. We're not sure how long he was out there, but we know he had a rough time, dealing not just with the winds blowing him around, but being in a scary environment with the potential for predators.

Dumping animals (yes, even if it's at a rescue!) is ILLEGAL, and while we're thankful he's in our care now, this is another mouth to feed, another body to house, and more medical bills to pay that we weren't planning on as we head into the winter months where our bills already increase astronomically.

Please share Lucky's story and donate if you're able. We know times are tough for everyone right now, but we can't do what we do without YOU 💙 Donations can be made via this post or at www.rabbitsanctuary.org/donate/

And now the good news -- he's already neutered and once he settles in and gets a clean bill of health, he'll be ready for his forever home!

Have leftover pumpkins and not sure what to do with them? The will put them to good use! 🍴

Pumpkins are a great treat for the pigs, and they absolutely love them! If you have unpainted, unbleached (or otherwise treated) pumpkins that are in good shape (not rotting), send us a message to arrange drop off at the sanctuary!

November 1st is World Vegan Day! 🌱

There's never been a better (or easier) time to go vegan. There are plant-based alternatives for nearly everything and the animals will thank you!

GLRS isn't just home to rabbits, we also house 10 pigs and 2 goats. These animals are safe and loved, and get to live out their lives happy and free 💚

We need newspapers! 🗞

Newspapers are used to line the litterboxes and pens around the sanctary to make cleanup easier and messes less messy, and now we're running low!

We're checking our usual places like the library, but if you've been saving your papers and have a stack you'd like to drop off please send us a message!

Non-glossy papers are preferred as the glossy pages (usually ads and coupons) aren't absorbent and cannot be used.

Hoppy Halloween! 🎃

No tricks here, just some sweet bunnies who would love to find their forever homes! Although there are no superstitions toward rabbits with black fur, it’s scary how often they’re overlooked.

It's not just at GLRS -- across the board, animals with black fur frequently stay much longer at shelters and rescues than their more distinctly-colored counterparts, with fewer inquiries on Petfinder and in person and less engagement on social media.

We want to change that, so in the spirit 👻 of Halloween, we're treating you to some of our boo-tiful black-furred buns 🐰

If you're interested in learning more about any of these boys or ghouls, email us at [email protected] to inquire!
