House Rabbit Society


  • About Us

    Since 1988, House Rabbit Society, its supporters, small staff, local chapters, licensed educators, and other volunteers around the globe have been advocating for the care and well-being of rabbits.

    Our goal is to help people see rabbits as intelligent and social pets who thrive indoors. HRS’ mission, philosophy, and policies have influenced the formation of many other nonprofit rabbit rescue groups and set a standard for the treatment and respect of domesticated rabbits. 

    Our mission has two parts:

    • Through our foster program, volunteers coordinate the rescue of at-risk rabbits at the local municipal shelters and find permanent adoptive homes for them.
    • Through education, we seek to reduce the number of unwanted rabbits and improve those rabbit’s lives by helping people better understand these often misunderstood companion animals.
