What is your OHRR bunny up to?

Our new Alumni group is a place to share your bunny’s pictures, updates, memories, and moments! Connect with fellow adopters, OHRR friends, and volunteers today.

Let’s catch up & stay in touch with the rescue rabbits of OHRR!

🌈 The Alumni group is a place for memories, too. If your OHRR bunny has crossed the rainbow bridge, feel free to honor their memory there.

Congratulations to Snickers, Spearmint, Wendy, Buster, Peaches, Minnie & Smokey, Vincent, Nilla, Ducky, Stewart, Oreo, Maxine, Twinkle, Zoe, Colin, and Chloe, an affectionate senior bunny with a youthful spirit who at 8 years old found herself returned to OHRR after her previous owner relocated. Now she has found her second chance at happily ever after, where she is loved and cherished, and will be supported through her golden years 💛

We have 7(!) bonded pairs at our Adoption center waiting for their forever homes!🐰🐰

There are many advantages to adopting a bonded pair:

1. They’re already bonded! Bonding a single rabbit with a friend is wonderful, but skipping the bonding process because the bunny already has a companion is definitely a win!

2. Bunnies are much happier when they have a friend! Rabbits are social creatures, and no one speaks the language of companionship to a bunny better than another bun.

3. Bonded bunnies are generally less destructive. They always have social stimulation and someone to be with.

4. Humans may be able to worry less about whether the bun is lonely. When away at work, it is comforting knowing that the bunny is with their friend.

5. Bunnies palling around are super cute! Many lay next to each other while sleeping. You will also likely witness their adorable grooming of one another.

6. The price of supplies for two ends up not being much more than for a single rabbit.

Did you know?
🐇Bonded bunnies are an item - they must stay together. Separating bonded rabbits would be very traumatic once they are friends.

🐇It is important to schedule their vet appointments together. If one bunny goes to the vet, they may smell different when they get home, and this could upset the relationship.

🐇We do bunny speed dating at the Adoption Center. If you have a single bunny that has been spayed/neutered for at least a month, fill out an application form and someone will contact you to set up an appointment.

🐇Bunnies pick their partners! It’s all about compatibility - you never know who they’re going to choose.

🐇There is a process to bonding, but it is well worth it! Some bunnies take weeks to bond, and others can take months, or even a year. Every bun pair is different.

🐇OHRR can help with your questions about bonding. Please comment yours below.

12 bunnies found their Forever Homes in April!🎉
Congratulations to Louis, Jolly & Cordelia, Bonnie, Wren, Ruby, Starlight, Victoria, Brady, Squishy, Alastor, and Buttercup, who is looking forward to a fresh start after being surrendered to OHRR when her previous owner found themselves with more than they could care for. While shy at first, our volunteers have enjoyed showering her with affection and watching her blossom into the confident girl she is destined to be. We are excited to see her embark on a journey of companionship and love with a family who will cherish her for the precious soul she is.

Wren represented rescue rabbits today and helped educate on proper rabbit care! We were invited by The Pilgrim Press to the Public Library Association (PLA) conference held in Columbus this year. We collaborated to showcase their new book that features a bunny, called My Heart Sings a Sad Song, a book dealing with grief. This conference was attended by thousands from all over the country! Thank you Pilgrim Press for displaying rabbit info during all 3 days to raise awareness for house rabbits everywhere 💙🧡

We had 11 adoptions in March! 🎉
Congratulations to Patrick, Bennett, Sunny, James, Mallory, Frank, Peanut, Dominic, Linus & Lucy, and Tw***ie, who was originally surrendered to a reptile rescue with two other bunnies. Luckily, the people running the reptile rescue recognized the poor condition of the rabbits and reached out to OHRR. Tw***ie has faced challenges due to her previous living conditions, experiencing muscle atrophy in her hind legs from being confined in a small cage. Despite her challenges, Tw***ie’s spirit has remained undaunted. Her heart overflows with love, which she has readily shared with every volunteer and visitor who has graced her pen over her last two years at OHRR. We are overjoyed that this precious girl has finally found her perfect Forever Home! 💟

📣 Please note: Our Adoption Center and Hop Shop will be closed this Sunday, March 31st, to allow our volunteers to celebrate Easter with their families. We appreciate your understanding!

🐇 As Easter approaches, we kindly remind everyone that bunnies are a long-term commitment. They live 10-12 years, need space to play, and require specialty vet care as exotic pets. Instead of gifting live bunnies, consider chocolate or stuffed ones. If you’re ready to adopt, please choose responsibly. Adopt, don’t shop!

Thank you for your support and understanding. Happy Easter! 🌸🐾

Have you seen this very important PSA from Make Mine Chocolate! & Columbus House Rabbit Society? Easter is just around the corner - please help spread the word that bunnies are NOT Easter presents, props, or toys. One must be rabbit-ready before adopting! 95% of “Easter bunnies” don’t make it to their first birthday because people have not done their research. Choose chocolate or a stuffed bunny for Easter. A big shoutout to CHRS for the amazing and tireless work they do for the bunnies!💙

11 bunnies found their Forever Homes during Adopt a Rescue Rabbit Month! Congratulations to Ollie & Leah, Robin, Raven, Hannah, Edgar, Lola, Carmella, Vanessa, and Jane & Joule, the inseparable mother-daughter duo! Jane was rescued outside at the end of 2022 and shortly after become a proud mother to 6 precious babies the day after Christmas.

While Jane’s babies grew up and embarked on their own journeys, Joule stuck close to her mother, forming an extraordinary mother-daughter bond. These girls have been lucky enough to be adopted by their incredible foster mom and dad, who are ready to provide enduring love to this special pair 🫶

Meet Louis!

Here is his story:

Louis is a charming English Spot bunny with an adorable demeanor and a heart full of gratitude. Louis, along with three other bunnies, was once an unfortunate victim of neglect, discarded after serving as 4-H bunnies and left to brave bitter cold temperatures outdoors living in a hutch. Now, Louis has found warmth, safety, and happiness inside the caring walls of OHRR.

Louis is more than just a survivor; he's a testament to resilience and the capacity for happiness even in the face of hardship. His sweet personality shines through, showcasing a bunny who is ready to leave his past behind and embrace the love and security of a forever home.

Having experienced the harshness of outdoor living, Louis is now reveling in the comfort of being warm and safe. He's eager to share his affectionate nature with a family who can appreciate his sweetness and offer him the love he deserves. If you're ready to open your heart and home to a bunny who has endured neglect but is now ready to bask in the warmth of a loving home, consider making Louis a cherished member of your family. Together, you can create a future filled with love, comfort, and the joy of a bunny who has found his happy ending.

If you have read our Adoption Policy and are interested in adopting Louis, please complete and submit the online Adoption Application.

Snow (pictured!) and everybun at OHRR wants to give a huge THANK YOU to BalletMet for a magical collaboration during their production of ALICE. We had the loveliest time in bunderland working with them. We're so grateful they thought of us and used their platform to raise awareness for all bunnies who are searching for loving homes. Because every rabbit deserves to find their Wonderland.❤️

Happy Tuesday REWsday! Here is beautiful Snow's story:

Meet Snow, a resilient beauty whose story speaks of both hardship and hope. Rescued from a challenging situation, Snow found her way to OHRR from a rural county humane society that was unfamiliar with caring for rabbits. She was part of a hoarding case, arriving unkempt and stained, but with patience and love, her pristine white coat began to shine through, inspiring her perfect name.

Despite her past, Snow’s spirit remains unwaveringly loving. Her eyes light up at the sight of volunteers and visitors, eager for any bit of affection and attention they offer. Her past hasn’t dimmed her enthusiasm for life or her capacity to love.

Snow is ready for a fresh start—a chance to experience the joy and comfort of a forever home where she can blossom. She’s poised to discover just how extraordinary she truly is when she's shown the care and devotion she deserves.

If you're looking to make a profound difference in a rabbit’s life, Snow might just be the perfect match. With her resilience and unwavering affection, she's sure to bring warmth and joy to any loving home.
