In April 2015, our Executive Director Lindsey was given Ember, her first bunny, as a gift the day before Easter. He showed her how special bunnies are and inspired her to save as many as she could. She soon learned bunnies are the 3^rd most abandoned pet and decided to help.

Lindsey started Ember’s in January 2019 and became an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit in March 2019. Bunnies are our main focus, although we love all animals and have a small variety. We are happy to provide a place for children and adults to volunteer with animals, where they can learn and practice kindness for all beings.

Our mission is to provide rescue and sanctuary to abandoned and unwanted domestic bunnies; to spay/neuter, vaccinate, provide veterinary care, and prepare them to be adopted into loving homes through socialization and training. To provide education and resources for current and future bunny owners and reduce cycles of surrendering unwanted animals by carefully reviewing potential adopters and ensuring good matches of humans and companion animals. For bunnies whose medical needs preclude them from adoption, we will provide lifelong sanctuary.

Our vision is for all domestic bunnies to live a long, safe, and happy life, with dignity and respect, free of homelessness and neglect. Ember’s embraces compassion and kindness for all animals while cultivating awareness of the specific need for bunny rescue both locally and throughout the region.
