Here's exactly how adopting from Wayward Rabbits works, start to finish.
Browse either platform below. We may have rabbits currently in our care who aren't listed yet while they finish spay/neuter recovery or quarantine.
If you’re interested in a rabbit on either of these pages, please come back here to apply. This avoids additional steps on those sites.
The same roster, listed here as well for adopters who prefer this platform.

We'll follow up to talk through which rabbit; or bonded pair; might be the best fit.
You'll meet your rabbit in person before anything is finalized, so it's the right match for both of you.
Once approved, you'll take your rabbit home with guidance on settling in; we're still here after adoption day.
New to rabbits? Sign up for either (or both) of these free classes. Dolly's Dream and House Rabbit Society offer free, online classes to prepare all adopters for their new rabbits.
Looking to adopt a friend for your lonely rabbit? Bonding takes patience. It's not as simple as putting two rabbits together and letting them work it out. Rabbits need gradual introductions in neutral spaces. This free class from House Rabbit Society covers the basics: how to introduce your rabbits, the setup you'll need, how to read their body language, and when to move on to each next step. We encourage you to take it before you begin, for a safer bond and happier, healthier bunnies.
A detailed, illustrated guide that goes further than the class. It shows how to set up bonding pens, which behaviors to watch for (grooming, mirroring, chasing, mounting, and nipping) and what they mean, how to swap spaces and scents, and when to move to the next step. We give it to every adopter who plans to bond, and we turn to it ourselves when a bonding hits a snag. Keep it handy for future reference.

A short application lets us match personalities and needs on both sides; a bonded pair for an experienced household, a laid-back rabbit for a home with young kids, or a single confident rabbit for someone ready to bond one of ours to a rabbit they already have.
