Surrendering a Rabbit
Surrendering a Rabbit to Special Bunny
We get multiple requests every day to surrender rabbits. We are full but you can submit the form below to give us all the information about your rabbit and we will contact you if we are able to help.
Please do not call. Use the form below.
We will update this page when we are able to take in additional rabbits.
Here is a list of other area shelters that may have room for your rabbit:
Seattle Animal Shelter. Seattle Animal Shelter also offers low cost spay/neuter services for rabbits, and you do not have to be a Seattle resident to qualify.
Rabbit Haven. Rabbit Haven is a wonderful shelter and sanctuary for rabbits, located in Gig Harbor, WA (about an hour south of Seattle).
Humane Society for Seattle / King County. They are located in Factoria (near Bellevue off of I-90) and they do accept rabbits.
King County Animal Control / Kent Animal Shelter does accept rabbits, and they do their best to find homes for them, but unfortunately they are forced to euthanize some rabbits, so we suggest you try the other resources first.
If we are full and cannot accept any more surrendered rabbits, we can still help you and your rabbit:
We can put you on a waiting list.
We can create a listing on specialbunny.org for your rabbit, just like the ones we put up for our shelter bunnies. Just send us a photo or two, a description of your rabbit’s personality, and the best way for potential adopters to contact you.
We can post a photo and description on petfinder.com for your rabbit(s)–or send you instructions on how to do so yourself.
What you need to email us:
A completed Special Bunny surrender form
Several photos of your animals
A text description of your rabbit’s personality
Information on whether your rabbit is spayed or neutered
Your location, and the best way for potential adopters to contact you (email, phone)
Please do not call.
We only accept requests to create pages and petfinder listings for rabbits by email.
