SDHRS Bunnyfest
For the past 30 years, the San Diego Bunnyfest has been the largest annual fundraiser for the San Diego House Rabbit Society (SDHRS). This event is an open-air festival. Activities include a silent auction, art social, mini educational lectures, games, children’s crafts and 30+ vendors selling bunny-themed merchandise & services. In the past couple of events, attendance for our one-day Bunnyfest had ranged from 1000-2000 people visiting from nearby San Diego and Riverside counties to as far as Canada and across the U.S. COVID hit us hard, and we are working diligently to build our event attendance back up.
San Diego House Rabbit Society discourages bringing unvaccinated house rabbits to Bunnyfest and any other outdoor events at this time. If you choose to bring your house rabbit to Bunnyfest, they must have a current vaccine against Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus-2 (RHDV2) administered by a veterinarian. For more information, please visit the general info page.
It takes a village to keep San Diego House Rabbit Society going and the operational cost per year to care for the rabbits can exceed $630, 000 per year and all proceeds from Bunnyfest help to defray those costs.
Why Bunnyfest Matters
Each year, the San Diego House Rabbit Society rescues hundreds of rabbits, many in need of medical care. Here are just a few stories about the life-changing and often life-saving medical treatment that we provide to our shelter bunnies.
Support the Bunnies
The San Diego House Rabbit Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. It takes a village to keep San Diego House Rabbit Society going and the operational cost per year to care for the rabbits can exceed $630,000 per year. . Each year, SDHRS rescues hundreds of rabbits from shelters, as strays and from individual relinquishments, many in need of medical care. Last year through our fundraising and volunteer work, we provided medical care to over 100 rabbits in addition to covering costs for spays, neuters and vaccinations to the general public. Since 2020, we’ve also protected over 1700 rabbits from RHDV through our lower-cost vaccine clinics. All proceeds from the San Diego Bunnyfest sponsors, vendor fees and attendees go towards our operational costs.
