Our mission, as a 501(c)(3) rabbit rescue, is to improve the lives of the abandoned and feral domestic rabbits living in Cannon Beach, Oregon through public education, restriction of population growth through sterilization, provision of safety and care, and facilitation of the fostering and adoption of these rabbits into loving homes. Decades ago, people abandoned domesticated rabbits into the wild in Cannon Beach, Oregon. Since then, they have been reproducing like, well, rabbits! It is very important to understand that these are NOT wild rabbits. They are an entirely different species. Domesticated rabbits may be able to survive for some time in the wild, but without constant access to dry hay or grass, their molars will overgrow and eventually become a painful problem. Many are hit by cars or mauled by animals, before dental problems or lack of essential nutrients become a problem. When these bunnies get sick, there is no loving family to notice and take them to the vet. If wounded or ill, they will likely suffer in silence and slowly die alone. The city of Cannon Beach has recognized the rabbit overpopulation is a problem and is seeking ideas for solutions. This rescue has been created as a way for concerned people to connect, plan, and organize rescue efforts to help stop the overpopulation and provide these innocent animals with the shelter, love, nutrition, and medical care that they truly deserve.
After submitting the application, someone from our team should be in touch with you within a week to discuss the adoption process.
