Miles was found as a stray—infested with fleas and suffering from painful infections. Diagnosed with E. Cuniculi, dental disease, and a chronic ear infection, he needed urgent, specialized care. Thanks to Bunnyfest supporters, Miles is now healing in a loving foster home. His journey reminds us why every rabbit deserves a chance—and why Bunnyfest exists.

Hester was rescued as a stray and surprised us with eight babies! After weaning them, she was adopted—but sadly returned in 2025 with a large neck abscess.

Archie and Rebel show us why Bunnyfest is vital. These bonded buns arrived together, but Rebel’s chronic bladder condition means ongoing medical care. Thanks to community support, we ensure rabbits like Rebel get the treatment they need while staying with the ones they love. Bunnyfest celebrates these stories—and makes them possible.

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.

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.
