Meet Mango. He was adopted out in 2018 as a little youngster and just brought back to us. His owners could not keep him because they had moved into a location that wouldn't allow rabbits. He has not seen a vet since 2018. After a veterinary exam with Dr. Dillon and Dr. Cecil, Mango was found to be severely overweight with a golf size mass in his shoulder. Today, Dr. Cecil removed the mass. He believes it is a fibroma but we are going to have it sent out for a culture to see if it is benign or malignant.

Suki is a big, beautiful bunny who can start off a little shy, but is very curious, energetic, and sweet! She loves to hop on top of things and have a higher vantage point. Sometimes she is hesitant to approach because slippery floors make her nervous, so she much prefers to have a blanket cover her entire pen space. Suki is still new at the shelter so we hope to get to know her even better as she feels more comfortable! Suki is very expressive with her ears, and just seeing them move up, down, and sideways is an easy way to see how curious she is.

Medical Note: Suki's left atrium of her heart is enlarged, indicating possible early dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). DCM is a heart disease where the chambers become enlarged and dilated. She will be on heart medication for life.

Snickers was brought into SDHRS in 2015. He was found as a stray rabbit on someone’s doorstep in San Bernardino. Snickers was adopted once, but sadly he was returned. At San Diego House Rabbit Society, we make a commitment to every rabbit we take in to always welcome them back with open arms if their adopters can long longer care for them. Snickers has severe dental disease and therefore became an SDHRS Sanctuary rabbit. He has spent the past several years in a loving foster home, being spoiled and doted on.

Lou is a beautiful big bunny who needs lots of space and attention to be happy! She can be a little defensive, especially if you reach for her when she doesn’t feel safe. When she goes to hide under her box, a chair, or anywhere else, Lou may lunge and nip if she is disturbed. Otherwise, as long as you respect her space, Lou loves to reach out for treats like carrots! She’ll also come up for attention and pets, and may gently nip to encourage you to keep petting her forehead. With the right home and someone who is patient enough to earn her trust, Lou can make a loyal and wonderful companion!

Friday and Frida are a special pair of 3 year old rabbits. They were returned to us after their owner sadly passed away. Friday was relinquished by his first owner to a local shelter and was then transferred to SDHRS. Frida is a tripod who found her way to the Department of Animal Services with multiple fractures in her hind left leg, where their veterinary staff made the decision to amputate it for her future comfort. She recovered well from the surgery and was soon transferred to the San Diego House Rabbit Society. She was adopted, and as most new bunny owners discover: Frida wanted a companion. That’s when she met her true love, Friday. Although they’ve had a major change in their life with the loss of their owner, they are doing well and ready for a new home to call their own.

While named after a Stranger Things character, this bunny is very charming, active, friendly, and curious! He was originally named Strawberry at the San Diego Humane Society. Demogorgon was originally a stray rabbit. This little boy loves people and will run up to whoever is closest so he can say hello. Demogorgon loves having enrichment to interact with, as well as company from people.

He was a stray rabbit and has been battling chronic ear infections. A couple months ago, he went into for a deep ear cleaning and crashed during sedation, but the vets were able to revive him and he’s doing great. Another fun fact about Demogorgon is that he has a small hole in his skull! We discovered it during a CAT scan. We aren’t sure if the hole is due to an injury, or if he was born that way.

Ellie and Patrick are sweet, 7-year-old bunnies who are both content to spend most of their days lounging and cuddling together. They do occasionally do binkies, but afterward, they always have to take a small break and rest. Patrick is the more assertive rabbit of the pair and loves being pet! Ellie prefers having a bit more alone time but has accepted some pets right before bedtime. Both bunnies are very friendly and love people! They will both hop up together to ask for pets (and treats!) and really enjoy having people as company.

Ellie is currently being treated for mobility issues. She gets weekly veterinary orthopedic mobility treatment.

Clyde is a handsome purebred English Spot rabbit who spent the first 5 years his life as a show rabbit. His previous owner was no longer able to care for him, so Clyde made his way to SDHRS where he is now available for adoption. He is an extremely friendly, curious, and companionable rabbit, content to sit by your side for as long as you are willing to pet him. Clyde loves meeting new people! The first few days after Clyde arrived, we noticed that he wasn't finishing his pellets or salad, barely touching his hay. After a visit with Dr. Knox and Dr. Mendez, we learned that Clyde had overgrown molars and advanced dental disease, requiring regular vet check-ups with Dr. Canseco, teeth trims and a specialized diet. He is extremely picky with his diet and requires close monitoring to make sure he is maintaining weight and not in pain.

Meet Linus, an adventurous two-year-old lionhead. Linus was born into shelter care with Lucky Bunny Rabbit Rescue after his mother was rescued from a backyard hoarding situation. In summer of 2020, Linus was diagnosed with hereditary glaucoma, which quickly led to complete blindness in his left eye and limited vision in his right now. That doesn’t stop him from exploring his foster home, where they carefully bunny-proof and arrange safe areas to play. He loves to explore under tables, beds, sofas- even if the space is too small for him to comfortably squeeze under. Although Linus is naturally shy, he warms up to gentle humans and is very cooperative when it’s time to receive his eye drops four times a day.

Linus currently requires daily eye treatments 3 times a day and quarterly vet visits to the eye specialist to keep his condition stable.
