Friends of Rabbits, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit rabbit rescue group, has been dedicated to saving rabbits since 1997. As the largest domestic rabbit rescue in Washington DC/Maryland/Virginia, we provide a safe haven for house rabbits from crowded shelters, stray domestic rabbits, and those rescued from hoarding situations. We partner with rabbit rescues locally and all across the U.S. Together, we can give these rabbits the loving homes they deserve.

Finding a Home for your Rabbit:
Please note that our organization has limited resources, and we have a very limited number of foster homes. Therefore, we cannot take in any pet rabbits surrendered by individuals or families. We take in rabbits from crowded local shelters that need our assistance.

If you need to urgently find a new home for your rabbit, please go to your local animal shelter.

Please do not bring your rabbits to us!
