My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Pellets: Unlimited Oxbow Essentials Adult Rabbit Food Pellets (AM)
Hay: Unlimited TIMOTHY only hay (All day)
Salad: 1 cup mixed greens (low calcium ONLY; butter leaf, cilantro, Belgian endive, romaine lettuce), (PM)

Petey came to SDHRS with his bonded mate Truffles after their owner couldn't care for them anymore. Truffles passed away as of August 2024, and Petey is now a single bun. At around 8-9 years old, Petey is an older gentleman with a heart of gold. He loves head rubs, cardboard boxes and running around exploring. Petey has a gentle and affectionate personality, often seen grooming his stuffies and snuggling up with them. He's also quite the explorer, enjoying new spaces and adventures.

Medical History: Because Petey is over 5 years old, vets recommend annual bloodwork in addition to annual vaccines.

Neutered, date unknown

Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV) is a highly contagious and deadly disease caused by a calicivirus that affects both wild and domestic rabbits. It is not contagious to people or other animals. For the first time, the virus is causing deaths in rabbits and hares native to North America and is spreading rapidly. UPDATE: In May 2021, California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) has confirmed new cases of RHDV in rabbits in Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura County. In addition to detection of RHDV2 in wild cottontail rabbits and jackrabbits, RHDV2 has been confirmed in domestic rabbits on 50 premises, including a detection in a feral domestic rabbit.

More about this rescue

We are a volunteer-driven organization working in San Diego County for nearly 25 years. We want to ensure that rabbits are not adopted out unaltered, that they find good homes where they will be cherished as indoor family companions, and that we educate our community on the responsible care of indoor rabbit companions.
