Mission Statement

We improve the lives of domestic rabbits through the coordination of local volunteer-driven Education, Rescue, and Adoption efforts in Indiana.

To accomplish this goal:

  • We provide resources to educate the public on the benefits of rabbits as companion animals, rabbit behavior, and rabbit care
     
  • We provide assistance establishing programs with animal control agencies, shelters, humane societies, and sanctuaries to increase their rabbit adoption rates
     
  • After we have exhausted all avenues, provided we have the available resources, we coordinate the rescue of rabbits scheduled for euthanasia and adopt them through our group

In order to maximize the usage of all resources towards the goal of reducing homeless rabbits, Indiana House Rabbit Society does not accept rabbits from the public (eg captured stray rabbits, owned rabbits, found rabbits, public rescued rabbits). For help finding a home for a rabbit, see our guidelines for finding a safe home for your rabbit.

Help us continue our work of finding homes for homeless rabbits and educating the public on caring for rabbits. Please consider donating, contributing to our Amazon Wish List, setting Indiana House Rabbit Society as your Amazon Smile charity or set Heartland Rabbit Rescue (organization name for IHRS) as your charity for Kroger Community Rewards card.

Wild Rabbits

Wild rabbits often make their nests in areas that boggle our minds... sometimes even right in the MIDDLE of an open yard. They are "hiding in plain sight" as often the predators that they naturally fear would be too timid to enter those areas. They don't count on the family dog or cat also being a problem!

If you have found wild rabbits or want to find out more, check out our wild rabbits resource.
