Bunny Buddies

The Indiana House Rabbit Society is a non-profit organization that helps to rescue abandoned and abused rabbits from local shelters. After rescue, we provide veterinary care, foster care and socialization, and with the help of the Bloomington Petco, we will be able to adopt the rabbits back out to loving homes. Every rabbit we adopt through Petco enables Indiana House Rabbit Society to rescue another deserving rabbit!

The success of this program hinges on the very important work of our Bunny Buddies. Visit adoptable rabbits in a pet store at least one hour at a time on a regular schedule, preferably once a week. There is flexibility, the visit may occur any time during normal business hours. Provide exercise opportunity, socialize with the rabbit, monitor disposition & basic health signs, and answer questions for the general public.

All supplies are waiting at the store. Just set up a play pen and toys, let the rabbits run around to play, and pet the rabbits and cuddle with them. Total time spent at store will usually be at least 1.5 hours per visit, which includes time before & after rabbit exercise to set up & put away supplies.

The Bloomington location is new and will launch as soon as we have a suitable number of volunteers. Some training will occur prior to that date, but weekly volunteering will not be needed until after that date.

No rabbit experience is necessary, a big heart and an animal lover is a must; Reliable transportation to volunteer location; good with people & animals; convenient email access is very helpful. Must be at least 18 yrs old or have a parent accompany you.
