Let’s Find Your Bunny Match!
Every rabbit deserves a safe, loving indoor home, and every family deserves the joy of bunny companionship.
Houston Rabbit Resource rabbits are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and matched carefully with adopters to help create lasting forever homes.
Adoption Process
Our adoption process is designed to help every bunny find the right home and every adopter feel prepared.
01

Fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you, your home, and what kind of rabbit you’re looking for.
02
Take Bunny Basics
Our free self-paced class helps prepare adopters for rabbit care, behavior, diet, housing, and bonding.
03
Interview + Setup Review
We’ll chat with you about your application and review your setup photos to help ensure your bunny will have a safe indoor environment.

Meet Rabbits
Approved adopters can meet available rabbits, attend speed dates, and find the best personality match.

Sleepover + Adoption
A two-week trial sleepover helps everyone feel comfortable before adoption.
We do not offer same-day adoptions or same-day sleepovers because we want every placement to be thoughtful and successful.
Why Adopt From HRR?
Our rabbits are cared for as individuals, not numbers. Most live in foster homes where we learn their personalities, habits, and ideal matches.
Spayed or Neutered
Every adoptable rabbit is altered before adoption.
RHDV2 Vaccinated
We help protect our rabbits with essential preventive care.
Foster-Based Care
Our bunnies live in homes where they can show their true personalities.
Post-Adoption Support
We’re here to help with questions, bonding, setup, and bunny care.
What We Look For in Homes
- A safe, bunny-proofed space
- Indoor housing only
- Plenty of exercise and enrichment
- Proper diet with unlimited hay
- Commitment to veterinary care
- Adults as the primary caretakers (21+ to adopt)
Common Question
Can rabbits live outdoors?
We require all HRR rabbits to live indoors. Domestic rabbits are vulnerable to extreme weather, predators, parasites, and diseases like RHDV2. Indoor rabbits are also able to bond more closely with their families and live safer, healthier lives.
Do rabbits get along with dogs or cats?
Some rabbits can coexist peacefully with dogs or cats, but introductions should always be slow, supervised, and based on the personalities of all animals involved. Your rabbit should always have a safe space where they can relax away from other pets if needed.
Do I need two rabbits?
Not necessarily. Many rabbits thrive as single buns when given plenty of attention and enrichment, while others enjoy having a bonded companion. If you already have a rabbit, we can help with bunny speed dates and bonding support to find a compatible match.
How much space do rabbits need?
Rabbits need plenty of room to hop, stretch, stand up fully, and explore. We recommend indoor x-pen style setups rather than small cages or hutches. Rabbits should have several hours of exercise time daily and enough space to express natural behaviors comfortably.
Can I adopt if I’ve never had a rabbit before?
Absolutely! Many of our adopters are first-time rabbit parents. Our Bunny Basics class and adoption team are here to help guide you through rabbit care, setup recommendations, diet, bonding, and more so you feel prepared and supported.
Our goal is never to make adoption difficult. It is to help create happy, lasting matches where both rabbits and adopters can thrive together.
Already Have a Rabbit?
Many of our rabbits are available for bunny speed dates and bonding support. If your rabbit is fixed, we can help you look for a compatible friend.
