My story

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

Must adopt with bond mate, Jelly Bean

Hi there! I’m Retta, an English Spot with a pretty white coat and charming black markings. You may recognize me from the news when they did a story about me and my 20 other siblings after we were dropped off on the side of a lonely country road. It was a tough time, but I’ve come a long way since then! I had five babies shortly after arriving at my foster home, and I took great care of them. Speaking of babies, I must be adopted with one of my daughters, Jelly Bean.

 

Because of my past, I’m a bit of a shy bunny, so it takes me some time to warm up to new humans. I’ve learned to be cautious around people, and I've taught Jelly Bean to be careful too. But I must admit, I have a soft spot for fruity treats like blueberries, raspberries, and bananas. If you offer me those, I’ll be your best friend in no time!

 

I’d rather have Jelly Bean's company than too much human attention, and she’s my favorite cuddle buddy. Exploring is one of my hobbies, but I do it very cautiously. I also love digging and flipping over cardboard boxes - it’s so much fun! I’m not really into being petted, but I do enjoy spending time with other bunnies.

 

I’ve been really good with my litter box habits since day one, but I do need a box with high sides. Hay is my favorite food, especially Timothy hay, which I munch on all day long. I also really like romaine and cilantro, which are my go-to veggies.I  haven’t met children, cats, or dogs yet, so I’m not sure how I’d react to them.

 

I need a quiet home filled with patience and kindness - if you think you might be a good fit for me and Jelly Bean, we’d love to meet you!

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.
