⭐️ADOPTED!!⭐️
We are so happy for sweet Endora (Aka Andy) who has found an incredible forever family. She and her husbun Lou took to each other quickly and are now fully bonded and enjoying their best free roaming bunny lives. Congratulations Endora and family!

Endora’s Story:
Endora came from a backyard breeder advertising on Kijiji, a platform that unfortunately makes it easy for irresponsible sellers 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 separated from her mom. The home she was sold to also had a high prey-drive dog, leaving her in danger. 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 in her forever home 💖

Adoptable Sherbie!! 🍨

Sherbert is a gentle, affectionate bunny who loves nothing more than curling up close to his humans. While he may show a touch of shyness at first, it doesn’t take long before he’s nudging for pets, enjoying ear rubs, and snuggling up beside you on the couch or at your feet. Sherbert adores foraging for his pellets, hay sticks, and willow, and he’s especially happy when his litter box is fresh and full of hay.

This sweet boy is a big fan of cilantro and other herbs, and he’s perfectly content around calm, respectful children. With his excellent litter box habits and non-destructive nature, Sherbert would be a wonderful free-roam companion. He thrives on affection and closeness, and he’s ready to find a loving home where he will be cherished as a true member of the family.

If you think that Sherbert may be a good fit for your home, he hopes that you will fill out an application! https://www.amysbunnybarn.org/adoptables/sherbert

🦋🌼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.

Likes: puzzle toys, treats, stuffies, affection, willow, space to explore

RABBITS DO NOT BELONG IN SCHOOLS ❌

The mentality that rabbits are just small animals, easy to care for and great for kids is so detrimental!

Too many schools and nurseries still keep rabbits as “class pets,” and while the intention may be good, the outcome rarely is. Rabbits are prey animals with delicate bodies, sensitive digestive systems, and complex emotional needs.

A busy classroom is the opposite of a suitable environment💔

They Deserve Better🐰

Somewhere right now, a rabbit is being abandoned.

What happens to dumped rabbits?

Domestic rabbits are not equipped to survive outdoors. When people release them, believing “they’ll be fine,” here’s what actually happens:

● Predators — Rabbits become instant targets for cats, dogs, birds of prey, and more.
● Exposure — They suffer from heat, cold, dehydration, and starvation.
● Lack of food — They don’t know what plants are safe, and toxic plants are everywhere.
● Disease and parasites — Outdoor environments expose them to parasites and deadly illnesses.
● Traffic accidents — Panicked domestic rabbits freeze or dart unpredictably, often leading to fatal injuries.
● Human cruelty — Sadly, abandoned animals are often victims of intentional harm.

This isn’t “giving them freedom.”
It’s a death sentence!

Dumping animals is unacceptable and a heartless act. Abandonment is neglectand neglect is abuse.

What responsible love looks like?

✔️ Adopt from shelters or reputable rescues.
✔️ Research thoroughly before bringing a rabbit home.
✔️ Educate
✔️ If you can’t keep your rabbit, surrender it to a rescue or shelter, never the outdoors.
✔️ Speak up when you see misinformation online.
✔️ Spay and neuter.

Petting zoos and “holiday animal experiences” are popping up everywhere this time of year. They’re marketed as festive family fun… a magical way to connect with animals during the season of joy.

But for the animals, it’s not so joyful.

Babies are separated from their moms when they're small and cute for photos. They’re transported from one event to another, surrounded by crowds, noise, and nonstop activity. And when they outgrow their holiday appeal? Many are bred again to restart the cycle — or slaughtered when they’re no longer "small and cute."

If the holidays are truly about kindness, warmth, and goodwill, then that compassion should extend to animals as well. Real connection doesn’t require exploiting them. It means letting them stay with their families, honoring their bonds, and allowing them to live peacefully.

This holiday season, let’s choose love that lasts longer than a photo op.

Every animal deserves to be cherished for who they are — not what they can do for us.

🧡🤍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

Housing Requirements:

ABB adopts bunnies to live indoors. Creating a spacious and enriching environment is important for your bunnies mental and physical health. Please see our housing section for housing ideas and requirements. If you are unsure what supplies to purchase please reach out to us so we can assist you in purchasing the right supplies for your new companion.

Adoption Fee: $225

Additional Notes: We are a bonded pair and can not be separated. Even though there is two of us it does not mean extra work for you. Having a bonded pair of bunnies is truly wonderful and most adopters eventually come back for a second.

If you think that Pekoe & Tilley may be a good fit for your home, they hope that you will fill out an application! https://www.amysbunnybarn.org/adoptables/tilleyandpekoe

Sprout has an important message to share on behalf of all bunnos🐰

A Harsh Truth About “Pets for the Kids”

Rescues see it all the time, parents adopt an animal “for the kids,” only to give it up when the novelty wears off, the child moves away, life gets busy or the child isnt following through with their promises.

The companion you once loved and celebrated, is suddenly inconvenient, ignored and neglected.

This is one of many reasons that rescues are cautious when adopting and why they have such a thorough adoption process. A pet is never the child’s responsibility. The core responsibilites will always land on the adults. Expecting a child to care for a living being when they are incapable of caring for themselves is not realistic.

It’s your job to model what commitment looks like, to teach your kids responsibility by living it, not by abandoning an animal when it no longer serves its purpose.

♡ Animals aren’t toys.
♡ They aren’t life lessons you discard.
♡ They’re living, feeling beings who deserve stability, safety, and unconditional love. ❤️

** We understand there are many exceptions to this specific case. We have adopted many bunnies to amazing and dedicated adopters with kids**

The Union of BC Municipalities Executive members have formally endorsed a feral rabbit support request resolution introduced at September’s convention! This is a major step toward province-wide support for communities managing issues related to feral European rabbits.

We’d like to thank Saanich Councillor Teale Phelps Bondaroff who first introduced the resolution locally and championed it at the AVICC. The Fur-Bearers encourages supporters and rabbit lovers in BC to celebrate this news and stay tuned for the provincial response: https://buff.ly/41NZwXo

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!
