Welcome
to The Rabbit Haven, a community of and for rabbits and their
guardians, serving the Bay Area since 1987.
The Rabbit Haven rescues injured and abandoned
rabbits and accepts surrendered rabbits from the general public
or the SPCA in Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, San Benito and Monterey
Counties. We then work to place these rescued rabbits
into loving permanent or foster homes. The Rabbit Haven also
works in the community, at schools, and with our local SPCA
shelter and other education groups to educate the public on
rabbit care, feeding, grooming, medical needs, social requirements
and behaviors.

Abused bunny Benny
|
Benny was turned into a shelter with many life threatening puncture wounds on his back and sides. Our vets believe that these
wounds are the result of deliberate torture at the hands of a human.
Warning:
The pictures accompanying this story are graphic in nature an depict severe injuries. These images may be upsetting to some
readers.
Update: May 12, 2008
Benny is recovering very well after his third surgery! He continues to receive excellent care and has a family waiting to
adopt him.

Meet Wisp
Gorgeous spayed female gray Lion Head. She
is a true princess and deserves to be treated as such. Wisp's
people recently moved from a spacious home to a small apartment
and Wisp was not at all happy with the new living quarters.
She is used to having lots of room to run and zoom at top
speed. She especially misses the long carpeted hallway she
used to zoom down do a lap around her living room, then zoom
back up the hall -- what fun that was!
She needs to go to a bunny savvy home where
you can provide her with all the love, care and environmental
stimulation she needs to be happy and healthy. Wisp may be
interested in a bunny companion as well. We can help with
the match-making.

Jossalin
Our lovely Jossalin came to The Haven in mid November 2007 with a horrific injury to her back right leg. Her foot was completely gone and the stump was dead with the bone sticking out. After she was stable and gained some weight, Jossalin's leg was amputated at the mid thigh. Dr. Carolynn Harvey of Chabot Vet Hospital in Hayward took excellent care of our girl and treated her like a queen. Jossalin came through the surgery with flying colors. After her recovery, physical therapy and lots of TLC she is now ready to find her forever home.

For Families, Losing A Home Can Also Mean Losing The Family Pets
Home foreclosures are forcing companion animals out of their homes and into shelters all over the country. See this special report
from CBS news
PetSmart to Stop Selling Rabbits
PetSmart is discontinuing rabbit sales at their stores and
will no longer be selling rabbits in any of their stores once the remaining rabbits are gone.
What a a wonderful Holiday gift for the rabbits and all our rescue community members who worked so hard at responding to the problem.
This is great news for all the communities that had PetSmart rabbits too. It was such a shock to see rabbits for sale at PetSmart!
We have learned that it was because of the strong vocal opposition of animal lovers across the United States that they have reconsidered their choice and decided to stop.
We encourage you to take a minute and write to PetSmart to thank them for their decision, and let them know
that it was the right choice.
Please address your thanks to PetSmart care of:
