Our Story

Safe Haven Rabbit Rescue, Inc.

  

Since 2003, Safe Haven Rabbit Rescue has provided foster/sanctuary home care for abandoned, abused, and neglected domestic rabbits. All rabbits are spayed/neutered, provided the best medical care available, and receive individualized attention and the love of their foster families. Those rabbits who are not eligible for adoption, either due to health, age, or temperament remain with us as sanctuary bunnies.

 

Rabbits are the third most abandoned pet in the US with increasing numbers each year. Safe Haven continues to develop our foster homes, educational programs, and outreach programs as a means of providing and promoting the best care for rabbits and to inspire action for this often misunderstood and too often abandoned species.

 

Gwen, our Team Captain, was one of those bunnies. We received an email, late July, from a concerned neighbor who saw multiple rabbits running loose in their neighborhood. He reported that one, who appeared to be the lone survivor, was frequently in their yard but they had been unable to catch her. The picture he sent us showed a very frightened and very thin rabbit who would not survive on her own much longer especially during the heat wave. A group of Safe Haven volunteers went the next day and was successfully able to fence her into a small area and bring her to safety.

 

Gwen is still recovering both mentally and physically from her time outside. Medicine will cure the strongyle infestation, but only time, love, attention and learning that she will never go without food or water again will allow her to blossom into her best self. As the new “kid” on the block, Gwen seemed the perfect choice for Team Captain! Competing in the 2024 Goat Games, with your support, will help the Safe Haven Rabbit Rescue team be able to continue the work we do for domestic rabbits. Educating prospective owners before they bring a rabbit home is key to lowering the abandonment issues. The Goat Games provide an opportunity to get our messages out and bring in needed funding for veterinary care.

 

Update on Gwen: Since her rescue, Gwen has shown a voracious appetite for both food and water. It was obvious that she went without water for a long time as we see the “I better drink it while it is here” thought pattern. Strays never know if that bowl will be filled again or not. Gradually, she will learn it always will be filled to the top for her.

 

Gwen is scheduled for her RHDV2 vaccines and once she gains a little more weight, she will be able to be spayed. She is learning to play and is now excellent with using her litterbox!

 

We hope you will support our Team in these 2024 Goat Games as we cannot do what we do without YOU! The bunnies thank you in advance!
