We are the central North Carolina Chapter of the House Rabbit Society. Our mission is to educate people about having house rabbits as companions, assist people with finding the information they need to take the best care of their rabbits, and help rabbits in local animal shelters through our volunteer efforts.
To adopt from us: Fill out an Adoption Interest Form and return it. The form is sent to our adoption team and any additional questions are gathered together. Prospective adopters are asked to answer any questions via telephone or email. Please keep in mind that we may receive more then one interest form for a particular animal, and sending a form does not guarantee an adoption. Schedule an online meet and greet. Meetings will take place over Zoom. At the meeting we chat about the foster rabbit(s), general rabbit care, answer any additional questions, and address any concerns from either the potential adopter or the adoption team. In person meet and greets and home visits are not feasible at this time; we will do our best to match rabbits in our adoption program with potential adoptive homes based on our meet and greet conversations. Schedule a follow-up meeting over Zoom to look at the space where the rabbit will live, and the space where they will be allowed to have daily exercise. Please plan to include any special rabbit proofing, gates that prevent entry by other pets, etc. as part of this online chat. At the close of the meet and greet process, arrangements will be made to transfer the rabbit(s) to their new home. Triangle Rabbits will be operating under the assumption that all volunteers and potential adopters fall into the "at risk" category as a precaution. Volunteers and potential adopters should wear face coverings for any contact during the bunny transfer. Review and sign the adoption contract. Pay the adoption fee ($50 per rabbit). All rabbits are spayed or neutered and checked by an exotics veterinarian. You will receive handouts by email with contact information and rabbit care information. In the absence of an in person meeting, Triangle Rabbits will be moving to a trial adoption procedure. Families will have two weeks for the rabbit(s) to get to know them, and to get to know their new friend. If during this time a family finds that the adoption is not a good match, the rabbit(s) may be returned to foster care with Triangle Rabbits and the adoption fee will be refunded, less any payment processing fees. During the trial adoption period, Triangle Rabbits will schedule follow up meetings with the adopting family over Zoom to answer any additional questions and provide support to new adopters. Keep us posted with adorable update photos of your bunny in their new home!
