◊ More About Bunny Buddies ◊

Bunny Buddies is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, primarily serving the Greater Houston area. We are dedicated to house rabbit rescue, education, and advocacy. We do not presently own or operate a shelter, but function as a network of foster homes and volunteers.

• We strive to offer opportunities for education in house rabbit care from an introductory level to advanced, as well as opportunities for socializing and networking with area house rabbit enthusiasts.
• While we attempt to keep up-to-date information to assiste with locating rabbit-savvy veterinarians, we are not qualified to give medical advice.
• Because of our dedicated volunteers and generous donations, we are able to work with individuals and area shelters to help save many abandoned and surrendered rabbits who would oterwise face euthanasia.
• We have had tremendous success in facilitating adoptions, helping to make the best possible human/rabbit matches, and working with these adopters to ensure a happy home environment for all.
• By spending time with and socializing them, we are able to find homes for many rabbits who would otherwise be considered unadoptable. In most cases, the rabbits who enter our care are able to become important family members in their new, forever homes.
• Because of the unacceptably high numbers of rabbits who are surrendered, abandoned, and euthanized each and every year, we do not support rabbit breeding practices. Therefore, all of the rabbits in our care are spayed/neutered before being made available for adoption.
• Because dometic rabbits housed outdoors are most often denied the love and attention they need, and because life out-of-doors prsents manifold dangers which contribute to shortened life span and diminshed quality of life, we adopt only to indoor homes and encourage all rabbit guardians to explore the possibility of bringing their rabbits indoors.

◊ Our History ◊

Bunny Buddies began in 1996 when local animal shelter volunteers and house rabbit guardians Janis (Abel) Hyde, Elizabeth Murphy, Helen Swann, and Nichole Taylor realized that Houston needed a group dedicated to educating the public about house rabbits. Since then, Bunny Buddies' dedicated volunteers have helped improve the lives of countless rabbits and the people who care for them.
