We have some sad news to share 💔.

We've taken a few days to get through the excitement of Bunnypalooza but now want to take a deserving moment to share that our sweet, sweet Daisy binkied over the Rainbow Bridge in the early hours of Friday morning. She was palliative due to her cancer diagnosis, but it was a freak accident and fall that lead to her euthanasia. The sudden shock of loosing her, when we thought we had more time and could let her choose her time to go, has been devestating.

Our hearts are broken for her foster parents who loved her dearly from Day 1 and without hesitation said yes to being her permanent foster home when we found out her cancer diagnosis. Daisy has THRIVED these last few months in their care and got to experience love, compassion, joy, appropriate medical care and the feeling of having a family that loved her. We want her foster parents to know that this was NOT their fault and we are so honoured that you asked for Daisy to be buried at your cottage, so she can stay with her forever family.

Daisy, you came into this rescue full of spice and sass but we quickly saw through it. You were a bunny in pain and you were scared. You were trying to survive and you didn't know who to trust any longer. You let your walls come down when you realized you were safe and turned into the sweetest big floofy lady. I will forever love your big dewlap and expressive face.

Binky free sweet Daisy. You are forever loved and you'll never experience pain again ❤️.

What an absolutely AMAZING Saturday we had at Ottawa Bunnypalooza 💕 Thank you so much for inviting us back again this year, we seriously look forward to this event ALL year long and always have the best time!

We also want to send the biggest THANK YOU to all of the incredibly generous vendors who stopped by our table with gifts, samples, treats, and supplies for the rabbits in our care. 🥹💛 Your kindness completely overwhelmed us (in the best way possible!), we actually ran out of room in our vehicle and had to turn some donations down! I failed terribly at keeping track of everyone’s names and I’d hate to accidentally leave someone out, so THANK YOU to each and every one of you… you know who you are ❤️

One of our favourite parts of the day was seeing so many familiar faces, making new connections, and especially getting to see several of our ORR alumni buns thriving in their forever homes 🐇✨ There’s truly nothing more magical than seeing former rescue buns living their best spoiled lives!

And of course… Rosie & Lightning were little stars as always 🌟 While they were a bit shy, they definitely stole hearts all day long. We’re really hoping they caught the eye of their future forever family because these two sweethearts have been waiting SO long for a home of their own. I mean honestly… look at them. HOW could anyone resist?! 🥺💕

A huge thank you as well to Dr. Harrison, Stef, Carolanne, and Eric for helping out at the table! Having such a knowledgeable team there to answer questions was incredible, and it even let me sneak away for a little shopping too 👀🛍️

And finally… WOW. We are absolutely blown away by everyone’s generosity this weekend. Between Dr. Harrison’s adorable crocheted creations, blanket raffle entries, and direct donations for the buns… together we raised an incredible $1,038.25 for the rabbits in our care!!! 🎉🐰💛

From the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU for supporting rescue rabbits and making this weekend so special. We are still smiling from it all! ✨

We were recently invited to take part in an Honours Thesis project about rabbits and it was an amazing experience! It's called "Down A Rabbit Hole".

Take a deep dive into everything bunny from the history of rabbit and human connection, to proper rabbit care, to the local rabbit community! While scrolling through I'm sure you'll recognize some quotes, pictures and business of other local rabbit people!

Thank you Shayla for asking us to take part. You did a wonderful job and you scored 💯 % in our eyes 😍.

So excited for Bunnypalooza tomorrow! Rosie and Lightning are excited to make an appearance, and maybe win over the heart of someone who wants to give them a forever home 💕💕. *Please note that their comfort and safety is most important, if they are feeling stressed they will not be forced to stay out for public interaction*.

There are some incredible talks this year from our friends at Lynwood Animal Hospital! I can't wait to hear all about them! Someone take notes for me 😁.

We're so excited for next Saturday! Who is planning on going to Ottawa Bunnypalooza ??

ADOPTED 🎉

We are so happy to share that Holstein has been adopted after a successful bond to his new bunwife, Sprite! It was a slow bonding process, but always showed lots of promise and we finally got there!

We are so excited for Holstein, he found himself the perfect home and one that loves him for who he is, even with his missing eye.

We love happy endings ❤️.

Important Update from Ottawa Rabbit Rescue

Thank you so much for your continued support, kindness, and compassion, it truly means the world to us and the rabbits in our care.

At this time, we are closed for intake of any new rabbits. This decision was not made lightly. It is due in large part to financial constraints, as we are currently facing several outstanding veterinary bills while continuing to provide necessary care for the rabbits already in our program.

Our priority must be ensuring that every rabbit currently with us receives the medical attention, housing, and support they need to thrive.

We are also only able to accept a limited amount of donations right now due to storage space limitations. If you’re hoping to donate items, please reach out to us first so we can coordinate what we are able to accept.

We understand this may be difficult news, and we share in that heartbreak. Thank you for your understanding as we work to stabilize and continue helping rabbits in need.

🐰💚 Thank You for an Incredible Twoonie Tuesday! 💚🐰

Because of YOU, we are so excited to share that $486.00 was raised during our Twoonie Tuesday fundraiser! 🎉

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to every single person who donated, shared, and supported. Whether you gave a single twoonie or a little extra, it all added up to make a meaningful impact for the rabbits in our care. 💕

These funds will go directly toward helping us tackle our outstanding veterinary bills and ensuring rabbits like Eeyore, and so many others, continue to receive the medical care they need and deserve.

We are constantly blown away by the kindness and generosity of this community. 💚 You truly make rescue possible.

🐰💚 Twoonie Tuesday Update! 💚🐰

WOW… thanks to all of you, we’ve raised $312 so far today!! 🎉

We are incredibly grateful for every single twoonie that’s come in and so touched by those who were able to give a little extra. Your kindness is making a real, immediate difference for the rabbits in our care. 💕

We still have several hours left in the day, so let’s keep the momentum going and see how close we can get to paying down our outstanding veterinary bills! Every $2 truly adds up.

🐰💚 Twoonie Tuesday is HERE! 💚🐰

At Ottawa Rabbit Rescue, every dollar truly makes a difference and today, we’re asking for just $2.

Our current outstanding veterinary bills total $2,411.64, and unexpected costs continue to come our way. Just last week, sweet Eeyore had to visit Lynwood for treatment of a small abscess on his neck (likely caused by a hay poke). He received excellent care, but the visit came to nearly $400, an expense we weren’t prepared for during an already challenging time.

Here’s the powerful part:
We have over 2,900 followers on Facebook. If even half of our community donates just $2, we can reach, and surpass our goal. That’s the impact of small kindnesses coming together. 💫

💌 How to help:
Send your $2 donation via e-transfer to:
[email protected]

Every twoonie helps provide critical medical care, comfort, and second chances for the rabbits in our care.

✨ Small donation. Big impact.
Let’s show what our community can do together.
