My story

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

Must adopt with bond mate, Gritty

Hi everyone, I am Groot (where are my Guardians of the Galaxy fans?)! I'm a Netherland dwarf rabbit who’s ready to charm my way into your heart alongside my brother named Gritty. We’re the best of buds, so we must be adopted together. 

 

I'm known for being one of the most laid-back and sweetest bunnies you'll ever come across. It might take me a moment to warm up to new humans, that is, unless you have my favorite foods. Speaking of which, cilantro tops my list, but I'm also crazy about oats, bananas, spring mix, and lettuce. Surprisingly, carrots aren't quite my thing - strange, right?

 

When I get the chance to stretch my legs outside my pen, it's binkies galore! Those joyful hops are my absolute favorite - they make me feel like I'm flying. Sometimes my brother Gritty and I even try to out-binky each other. With a watchful eye, we love tearing around together, especially in the grass. Now, I'll admit, Gritty and I are still working on our litter box etiquette. But hey, we're improving every day, and with a home of our own, we're sure to master it in no time. 

 

Back at our foster home we've had the pleasure of hanging out with kids and we handle it pretty well, as long as trusted adults ensure our space is respected. We've even had some encounters with dogs and they don’t seem to be a big deal for us.

 

Once you meet me and Gritty, you'll be totally smitten. We promise to bring loads of bunny love and binkies to brighten your days!

*RRMN does not recommend our rabbits as companion animals for anyone under the age of 10*

If you're interested, please fill out an adoption application at: http://www.rabbitrescueofmn.com.

RRMN bunnies are all vetted, spayed/neutered, and microchipped. All bunnies are fostered in private homes where they are socialized and ready to become indoor companion house pets. RRMN is a non-profit rescue group operated 100% by volunteers, and 100% of donations/adoption fees go to the direct care of our animals. Due to their very special behavioral needs, we do not advocate for our rescue rabbits to serve as Emotional Support Animals (ESAs).  We are unable to provide any documentation or certification for an ESA.     

If you have any questions or are interested in meeting or adopting this bunny, the first step is to complete an adoption application found on our website:  http://www.rabbitrescueofmn.com.  For the safety of our rescue bunnies, our protocol requires a home-visit before placement.  Therefore, we are unable to facilitate adoptions that exceed an hour and a half of travel time from the Twin Cities area.

Go meet their pets

We are a foster based Rescue and do not have a shelter location. You must have an approved application on file before an official meet-and-greet can occur. However, we regularly hold public events where anyone is welcome to stop by and meet some bunnies! All events can be found under the "Events" tab on our website.

More about this rescue

Rabbit Rescue of MN is a 501(c)3 non-profit rabbit rescue. Our mission is somewhat different than that of many other rescues as we take in sick, abused, neglected, abandoned and unwanted domestic rabbits, as well as rabbits from the public that are no longer wanted. We fundraise in order to get proper vetting and then focus on rehabilitation to ready our rabbits for their forever homes.


We are 100% volunteer-based and have no paid staff. All of our rescue rabbits are cared for in private foster homes where they are properly housed and receive love and socialization. We do not advocate housing our rescue rabbits in pet stores of any kind. Prior to adoption we screen our applicants thoroughly including a background check and a visit to our applicant's home to ensure that our rescue rabbits will be properly housed in a well-ventilated, well-lit and space appropriate area. Our mission includes educating first time rabbit families on the proper housing, exercise, diet and medical care.


Our rescue rabbits are all wellness checked, spayed/neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. We pride ourselves on informing the public that domestic rabbits are “exotic” pets/family members and require very specific care, medical attention and housing, as well as a space in the home where they can be part of the family.
