We need your help.

Meet Joker (Californian) and Ra (Brown/Grey).

These two boys came from a bunny hoarding situation in the Metro Detroit area. You may have heard about their case from other local rabbit rescues: 30 rabbits, 3 of whom had passed upon arrival, were being bred for meat in unclean hutches with limited access to food and water.

Although we are on an intake freeze due to our building renovations, we knew it was all hands on deck in a situation such as this. We had to help. Heather of Rabbit Angels Rabbit Rescue was kind enough to drive these two sweet boys down to us on her way back to the west side of Michigan.

Our animal care manager, Elisha, and board member, Liz, met Heather at 8pm on a Saturday to ensure that these boys did not have any injuries or imminent health concerns, and got them settled into a quarantine space at the sanctuary. As soon Ra knew he was safe, he immediately melted for pets. Since his intake, he has even given his caretakers some sweet kisses (see video at bottom of this page). Joker was a bit more hesitant when we first examined him but has since started to show off his loving, playful personality.

We hope to raise a minimum of $1,000 towards their care. We have noticed a drastic decrease in donations to our operating funds since the completion of our Bunnovation campaign, and in order to continue to save bunnies like Ra and Joker, we need to grow our operating funds.

A gift of any size, $5 or $500, will help us provide our bunnies with the resources they need to thrive at our sanctuary, if and until they can be adopted.

Will you help us provide a safe haven for more bunnies like Ra and Joker?

This rabbit rescue was coordinated by Romeo Rabbit Rescue, who took in several rabbits, and Rabbit Angels Rabbit Rescue took in 20 of the 27 rabbits. Hay Monsters Rabbit Sanctuary and Burrow Detroit also took in several rabbits. Thank you to these great partners for their incredible support and coordination!
