Domestic rabbit care education and classes
Rabbit rescue and adoption Welcome to Hoppy Hearts SC! We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization in South Carolina.

Our mission is to improve the lives of domestic rabbits and our community by means of education about house rabbits and their proper care, by rescuing and adopting out abandoned rabbits, and providing rabbit therapy visits to assisted living facilities and other community organizations. We provide a Basics of Bunny Care Bunny 101 class and a Bunny Health Bunny 102 class, both in person and online. These classes are for anyone interested in learning about bunnies and their care. We are happy to have anyone in the class who currently has companion bunnies, as well as potential future adopters (from any rescue) or those just interested in learning more. We also are happy to give these classes to shelter and rescue groups. We are working on additional class offerings, including Bonding Bunnies. We also work to rescue and adopt out homeless bunnies. To help with this, we are building a network of foster homes throughout the state of South Carolina to help us rescue more bunnies. Our goal with this foster home network is that rabbits rescued by Hoppy Hearts can be placed into a home environment while waiting for their forever homes, rather than in a more stressful shelter environment. We are available to help with bonding and bunny behavior issues also. Contact us here or at [email protected] to find out more.

Our volunteers have so many different talents! Courtney loves customizing the bunny hides and she does a great job with that among the many other duties she helps with. Today, one of our bonded pairs, Psi and Billie got their new custom hide. ☺️

Psi and Billie have been at HHSC for two years now without any interest. 😢. These two met here at the rescue after coming in during the same timeframe (from different areas) after being dumped. They lived side-by-side in ex-pens and took almost an immediate liking to each other. Psi (grey and white) finds a lot of comfort in Billie (mostly white color). Psi is extremely shy and prefers to hang back or hide. Billie is much braver. She protects Psi and lets him know when things are safe. We understand that finding the right person to adopt rabbits like Psi and Billie is difficult. But we still hope one day they can experience having a patient and loving home of their own. If that never happens, they will have a lifelong home here with us. ❤️

Tumble says it is starting to feel a lot like Autumn. Time to snuggle! Actually, we think that Tumble would snuggle no matter the weather. ❤️. You may remember that Tumble came to us as a result of an animal control seizure. His fur was so matted he could hardly move or eat. Just look at this handsome boy now! He was shaved under anesthesia a while back and his fur has grown back beautifully. This is the rewarding part of rescue. 😊. Tumble is not only handsome but he is so sweet and quite a snuggler. We are so glad we are able to play a part in giving him his new beginning.

This is Blue! Blue is a 10 month old male lop who was rescued from a neglectful situation by a caring person who observed this and took action. He has been passed around a lot in his short life and has not had much stability. It doesn’t seem to phase him! Blue is a laid back bunny and seems to enjoy people and socializing. Blue just arrived at HHSC today so we are still getting to know him but we are already in love with this handsome guy.

Blue will be neutered and get RHDV shots over the next couple of weeks and then he will be ready for adoption.

We have taken in 3 bunnies over the last week and we are now full until we have adoptions or new foster homes. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to vet care for our current rabbits and new intakes. We rely completely on donations and volunteers. We have no paid employees. Please consider donating at

Happy Friday and Happy Halloween! 🎃 😂❤️🐇

We have good news and bad news about beautiful Starlight. The good news is Starlight is gaining weight nicely and almost to her ideal weight! She was underweight when we got her, likely from the tumors. Now, since recovering from that surgery, she is looking like a healthy rabbit again!

The bad news is the lump on Starlight’s jaw is growing back. This means she will be getting a CT scan as soon as we can schedule it to help the vet see exactly what we are dealing with. This will help us make effective plans for surgical removal. We are hoping if we can take care of this last setback, we can finally get Starlight a loving forever home.

As you can imagine, these medical procedures will be very expensive on top of Winter’s upcoming surgery for his dislocated shoulder. The CT scan alone will likely cost about $1300. If you are able to donate even a few dollars to help us meet the medical needs of these bunnies, we would be very grateful. You can donate at https://www.hoppyheartssc.org/donate

We have two new intakes. First, meet Stella. Stella was apparently dumped in a condo community in the Rock Hill area. She is so sweet and social that she hopped right up to a resident on the porch of a home and let the person easily pick her up. Despite checking with the residents of the community, no owner was found. Stella had her vet visit for RHDV vaccine and exam. She is a little thin but in good health otherwise. Spay will be next. Oh and she now has a fan club at the vet. She got plenty of cuddles! 🥰

Our second intake is Patrick. Patrick was found after being dumped on a cul de sac in the Charleston area. A neighbor was able to catch him after noticing him there for a week or so. Patrick is a big, beautiful boy at 6.8 pounds! He has a sweet demeanor though understandably a bit confused at the moment.

If you are interested in sponsoring one of these bunnies’ spay/neuter surgeries, please contact us or donate at https://www.hoppyheartssc.org/donate

We are so happy to announce that Debbie and Daisy have been adopted! These rabbits were dumped in a box outside of an exotic veterinarian’s practice, no longer wanted. Now they are treasured as part of a loving family. They even get their own home grown greens, movies on their own TV with their human siblings❤️ and a fantastic bunny mom who also happens to be a veterinarian! Join us in congratulating Debbie and Daisy and their new family. ❤️🐇
