🩶Adoptable Coal🩶

Coal is a sweet and lovable little guy who’s full of personality—and love!

Young and full of energy, Coal lives for zoomies, binkies, and adventures around the house. After he’s had his fun, he’s more than happy to snuggle up for some cozy downtime—and he’s not shy about giving you kisses to show just how much he adores you.

Coal loves free roaming and is always busy with his favorite things: stacking cups, his IKEA dollhouse, digging in his dig box, cuddling his bunny teddy, and soaking up any and all attention. He enjoys supervised outdoor time, too—sniffing around, exploring the sights, and just taking it all in. He also looks forward to his nightly Oxbow treat and happily munches on cilantro like it's gourmet.

As a young bunny, Coal’s personality is still developing and may shift as he grows. But one thing’s for sure he will always need a loving, patient home where he can feel safe, cherished, and continue to blossom into his full, affectionate self.

If you’re ready to grow alongside this tender-hearted little adventurer, Coal could be the perfect addition to your family.

Teaching Kids Compassion Starts with the Smallest Hearts 🐰💞

Kindness isn’t something all children are born knowing. It’s something they learn from the people around them. Teaching kids to show empathy and compassion toward animals doesn’t just help bunnies; it helps raise a more caring generation. Children learn from our example, so we as adults need to lead by example by treating animals and other humans with kindness.

When a child learns that a rabbit isn’t a toy, but a living being with feelings, they learn responsibility, patience, and respect for all life. 🥹

Children do not learn by expecting them to be the sole provider of an animal or as a tool to teach your children responsibility to then abandon or neglect them when they have served their purpose or become an inconvenience. Kids can not care for themselves, so why would we expect them to care of an animal? This teaches kids when things get hard we dump our problems rather than follow through with our commitments. Especially when it comes to a living being.

This is how we prevent neglect. This is how we break the cycle of animals being treated as disposable.

Be the change you want to see in the world 🌎

I love this quote so much, its short but so powerful.

Why Adoption Processes are Important⤵️

We were recently contacted by someone looking to adopt a rabbit, not to love or care for, but to entertain their visiting grandkids. They proudly wanted to give their grandkids the same experience they had of neglecting animals. Things used to be different in their time, but we learn and we do better!!

We provided them with education, resources and that we do not adopt bunnies for the purpose they wanted. They proceeded to submit an application.

It was clear this person either didn’t bother to read the information we provided or chose to blatantly disregard it. Wasting our time and, more importantly, showing complete disregard for the rabbit’s wellbeing.

They were specifically wanting a "lop eared bunny" that would "live outside in a hutch" and would be for their grandkids when they came to visit.

Our adoption coordinator called to provide further education, even though we already knew their application would not be approved. We hoped to help them understand that this is not a suitable life for any animal. Instead, they dismissed every fact we shared, insisting “bunnies belong outside in hutches” and even claiming that keeping them indoors is cruel. Nothing we said made a difference.

Here’s the heartbreaking reality, while we said no, they will go elsewhere. They will find a breeder or someone rehoming that doesn’t care, and another innocent rabbit will end up forgotten in a hutch, used when convenient, discarded when not.

This is why rescues have strict processes. This is why we ask hard questions, why we educate, why we sometimes decline. Because rabbits are not toys, decorations, or temporary entertainment. They are intelligent, social beings who deserve safety, companionship, and a home where they are truly part of the family.

🦋🌼Adoptable Babe🌼🦋

Babe is a sweet and lovable little guy who’s full of personality!

Young and full of energy, Babe loves to zoom around and explore his surroundings. After his adventures, there’s nothing he enjoys more than a cozy snooze.

He adores attention and will come right up to you for affection. When food comes out, Babe does the cutest little tippy-toe dance of excitement for a tasty snack.

As a young bunny, Babe’s personality is still developing and may shift as he grows. What won’t change is his need for a loving, patient home where he can feel safe and continue to grow into his true self.

If you’re ready to grow alongside this adorable little adventurer, Babe could be the perfect addition to your family.

⚠️ Lop Bunnies: The Hidden Cost of “Cute” ⚠️

With their adorable, droopy ears, lop bunnies may seem irresistibly cute, but these features come at a heartbreaking price. Lops are bred for unique traits that can lead to a lifetime of health challenges & discomfort.

🐰 Chronic Ear Pain – Their ear shape limits airflow, making them prone to infections, abscesses, & painful ear issues that affect balance & hearing.

🐰 Severe Dental Problems – Their skull shape causes teeth misalignment, leading to painful overgrowth, difficulty eating, & other complications.

🐰 Respiratory Issues – Their compact head structure can cause respiratory distress, impacting quality of life & requiring ongoing treatment.

🐰 Eye Problems – Lops often have narrow or kinked tear ducts, leading to chronic tearing & discomfort. They are prone to eye issues like conjunctivitis & corneal ulcers.
These issues aren't just accidents—they’re a direct result of breeding for “cute” features, prioritizing looks over well-being. Breeders often focus on aesthetics instead of the suffering these traits cause.

Annual check-ups by a bunny-savvy vet are essential to catch potential health issues early. Be vigilant & monitor for changes in behavior or physical condition. If you notice anything unusual, consult with your vet & book an appointment right away.

At Amy's Bunny Barn, we are committed to the well-being of all our rabbits. Bunnies adopted from us have been assessed by a vet, & we are transparent about any medical issues or concerns. We provide education on care & important signs to watch for, ensuring adopters are prepared to give their new friends the love & attention they deserve.

If you’re thinking about adopting a lop, remember the commitment to their ongoing veterinary care & the health challenges they may face. Let’s raise awareness & advocate for ethical treatment & care for all rabbits, not just by adopting, but by speaking out against breeding practices that prioritize “cuteness” over health. 💔

The babies snuggled up and fell asleep in the shape of a heart! ❤️🥹 My heart can’t take it!

They’ve started exploring and responding to my voice (I’m officially momma now), and their wobbly feet are the cutest thing ever.

They’re grooming themselves, each other, me, and even doing their very first binkies and zoomies!!

Watching them grow is pure magic.🫶

✨Meet Adoptable Endora!✨

Endora is in her baby stage, and right now she’s all about love and exploration. She adores constant pets and affection, loves climbing, playing with her stacking cups, zooming through her tunnel, and snuggling up with her favorite bunny plush. She takes as much time with her people as she can get and isn’t fond of long periods of time alone. Gentle, sweet, and full of joy, Endora is happiest when she’s part of the action.

This little one came from a backyard breeder advertising on Kijiji—one of the worst platforms that enables irresponsible humans to exploit animals for profit. The breeder kept their rabbits outside in tiny, filthy cages, and Endora was sold at only 4 weeks old, far too young to be taken from her mom. The home she was sold to had a high prey-drive dog, leaving her in danger, and after just 3 weeks, she was surrendered into our care. She deserved so much more, and now she finally has the chance to grow up safe and loved.

As a young bunny, Endora’s personality is still developing, and it may shift as she grows. What will stay the same is her need for a loving, patient home where she can feel safe and continue to blossom into her true self.

If you're ready to grow alongside this adorable little adventurer, Endora could be the perfect addition to your family.

🧡🤍Adoptables Pekoe & Tilley🩶🤎

These two are affectionate, playful, and snuggly, making them a great match for someone looking for a sweet and silly duo.

Pekoe is friendly, affectionate, and loves attention. He will gladly soak up pets and affection for as long as you are willing to give it! He enjoys zooming and binkying when excited, especially at mealtime. He’s also creative, enjoying cardboard hideout construction and chew toys.

Tilley is sweet and gentle but a bit shy. She relies on Pekoe to help build her confidence and is has made great progress in learning that people (especially those with snacks!) aren’t so scary. Hand-feeding her, her favourite leafy greens is the fastest way to her heart and will show her thanks with sweet, happy honks. She enjoys lounging, observing her surroundings, and snuggling up to Pekoe.

Likes: gentle pets, tasty snacks & greens, zooming, binkying, being with each other, lounging in cozy spots., cardboard hidey houses

Dislikes: Tilley is nervous of sudden loud noises and will retreat to the safety of her hidey house.

Health: spayed, neutered, & vaccinated

Our Story

Amy’s Bunny Barn was created in 2015 to provide a comfortable place for bunnies and small animals to stay while their families were away on vacation. Shortly after I was asked to re-home a clients rabbit because they could no longer keep him and since then we have found homes for over 200 bunnies, 4 guinea pigs and 5 chinchillas. My passion for helping animals started when I was a child and has only increased through my adult years. I was always drawn to helping animals but I had this strong attraction to rabbits, always wanted one but my parents never let me. I believe its that they are so vulnerable and misundertood like myself. I got my first job working with animals when I was 18 at the BC SPCA in my hometown, shortly after I followed my passion even further and went to Granville Business College and aquired my Veterinary Assistant Diploma. I got my first job as a Veterinary Assistant at a Veterinary clinic that specialized in small animals where I got a lot of hands on experience working mainly with rabbits and small animals. I then followed my true passion and spent 8 and a hlaf years at the Victoria BC SPCA. While employeed there I gained an abundance of knowledge working with the rabbits and over time became a bunny whisperer so I have been told. My passion for bunnies grew stronger; I wanted to do more to help bunnies in need and to offer people my services of boarding, grooming and rehoming so that I could provide a safe haven for unwanted bunnies. Creating Amy’s Bunny Barn has been one of the most rewarding and life changing experiences. I have been able to help and find homes for so many animals, I have met some amazing people along the way, the amazing clients who come back time after time and keep in touch even when their rabbits arn’t boarding, the support from other rescues and being able to work in the community and create awerness and educate the public.

I am so excited for what the future has in store for the Bunny Barn. I plan to one day open a larger facility where I can rescue and board more rabbits, having a one stop shop for all your rabbit needs, be more involved in education, provide summer camps for kids and so much more!
