Meet a few of the bunnies that your donation helps.
At Triangle Rabbits, part of our mission is to help rescue rabbits, including those who may need a little extra care. Over the last 10 years, we’ve been able to help more than 300 bunnies find homes of their own.
To care for the bunnies in our program, including foster supplies like food and enclosures, spay/neuter surgeries, RHDV2 vaccines, and check-ups, we have spent over $18,000 in 2024 alone! Your contribution allows us to help these rabbits, and provide care for even more rabbits in our community!

Jeffrey
Jeffrey came to Triangle Rabbits from a local animal emergency clinic in summer 2024 after he was found abandoned in a box. He had been diagnosed with head tilt. His test for E. Cuniculi was positive and he was started on several medications to help him feel better. In spite of his dizziness, spinning, and rolling, this sweet little boy never lost his will to overcome his illness, eating and drinking eagerly even though the only way he could take in nourishment was through a syringe. Bunnies like Jeffrey really tug at our hearts because seeing them in this condition is very difficult, but with dedicated donors like you we are able to watch them recover in nearly miraculous ways. After several weeks, Jeffrey is now able to stand and eat on his own. He even hops into his litter box - something that seemed impossible the week before! We have hope that one day Jeffrey will be able to be adopted into a loving family. Without your support none of this would be possible - thank you for helping us make a difference for Jeffrey.
Pepper
Pepper was dropped off at a local shelter with a broken rear leg. Unfortunately, her leg had been broken for several weeks and she didn’t receive treatment after the fall. Her leg had started healing incorrectly with the bone sticking out from her skin. Our friends at Avian & Exotic Animal Care were able to save Pepper’s leg, but three surgeries were needed to fix the bone and then place pins to help it heal correctly. Through it all Pepper kept her sassy attitude and adventurous spirit! Now she’s on the mend, doing bunny physical therapy with her foster family and going for laser treatments to support healing. We’re hopeful that soon Pepper will be ready for adoption and will have a family to call her own. In the meantime she is gaining followers on social media with #PepperPower and charming everyone she meets.
Cookies
Cookies started out in rescue as a scared young rabbit who would run away from petting and nip when it was time for cleaning his litter box. This was all understandable as he'd been through a lot. He was found as a stray, hopping by the side of the road, and was picked up in a dog's mouth. He also had a lot of fur missing from his feet and tail, possibly from urine burns from a rarely cleaned living space. Cookies has done a lot of healing since he came to us in March 2024. He's grown back his fur and now this adolescent rabbit loves to run around at top speed or hop all over, including onto chairs. He will even hop all over his foster mom if he thinks food is involved! He makes his foster family laugh at salad time by snatching his favorite pieces. We can all picture a tiny rabbit bounding away, head and tail held high, with a piece of kale so big he can barely hold it off the ground! It’s been a joy to watch Cookies blossom and heal from what must have been a really rough start in life. We are thankful to be able to help Cookies on his way to a forever home.
Gumdrop
Gumdrop was found living in a drain pipe at a local park when she was only eight weeks old. Against the odds, she survived storms with flooding rains and dogs and other predators in the park. She was unsure about humans and made volunteers work hard to catch her, going out to the park each day to entice her out of her ”cave”. Thanks to their determination, Gumdrop was rescued and is now able to live the indoor life she deserves. She adapted quickly to house rabbit life, enjoying plenty of food, a warm space, lots of toys to play with, and a cozy bed. She loves to run and dance in all her indoor space and then flop down for a nap. Your donations allow us to provide check-ups, spay surgery, RHDV2 vaccines, food, hay and supplies for rabbits like Gumdrop while they are in foster care. Gumdrop is currently in a foster-to-adopt home where she is hoping to find her forever friend.
Rosie
Sweet Rosie had a very unfortunate beginning, abandoned outside in someone’s yard. This poor girl had head tilt and was being stung by bees. Thankfully someone was able to help her and bring her to a shelter! Rosie came to Triangle Rabbits and we took immediate action to get her to the vet. Fortunately she was able to start medical treatment right away, and within a few weeks her head tilt started to improve. She started begging non-stop for love and treats without losing her balance or falling over. At Rosie’s exam they also found that she has cardiomyopathy, which means she may not be able to safely have spay surgery. Rosie hasn’t let any of her medical issues get her down and she enjoys play time doing popcorn binkies and begging and nudging for pets. Rosie’s foster family fell in love with her sweet personality, and she’s super spoiled with her own room that she now calls her forever home.
Sheldon
Sheldon was surrendered to a local shelter for being "fat and lazy". This poor fellow was very overweight with poor muscle tone, likely from spending all his time in a small cage. When he came to rescue he had difficulty standing and walking. He also suffered from raw skin under his chin, dirty ears, flaky skin, a runny eye, and urine scald on his bottom and rear legs. Sheldon was one of the saddest rabbits we’ve seen come into our rescue. We treated his raw skin, clipped the fur mats away, and got his eye checked out. At first he would only eat certain foods, but over time he started eating a regular, healthy diet. He didn’t have much energy in the beginning, but now he is hopping around and the exercise has helped him gradually lose weight. The fur has grown back on his legs and feet and he is looking so much better. Sheldon has more energy and has fun exploring in his foster home. He still has some recovering to do, but soon he will be ready to find a family that will love him like he deserves.
Remy
Remy came to Triangle Rabbits after being dropped off at a shelter for being too much to maintain. She is a spunky lionhead mix with a big personality and we have loved getting to know her. She loves to explore and will get right into things, including walking up to the vacuum! She has definitely tested her foster family's bunny-proofing skills! We've discovered she loves salad, with lavender, basil, sage, and yarrow being among her favorites. She loves being a house rabbit, where she has plenty of safe toys to chew, lots of love, and regular grooming to keep her fur beautiful. Long-haired rabbits like Remy need a lot of grooming to keep their coat in top shape - it’s important to think about all aspects of rabbit care before bringing a friend home. We’re happy to be able to help Remy find a family that appreciates her glamorous self!
