Hoppy Hearts SC 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.

It is time for some good news! Tumble made it through his neuter, mat shaving and dental work with flying colors and is recovering well! He has a bad haircut right now but he is going to be a beautiful little rabbit with a personality to match!

Phineas also was neutered today and is recovering very well. He is so friendly and was a big hit at the vet’s! ❤️

We will keep you updated on Starlight’s vet visit tomorrow.

We have some very bad news today. Snickers had to be humanely euthanized. 💔. When our vet removed and cleaned out the abscess at the back of Snickers’ jaw during surgery, he saw that the abscess had made multiple tracts towards his skull and towards his nose. It had also begun to eat away at Snickers’ jaw bone. All of it could not be removed meaning Snickers life would be full of multiple recurrent abscesses and pain.

Thank you to Snickers’ foster for giving him the chance to live in a home environment and to be loved as part of the family as he deserved. He was a great little rabbit. 😢💔🌈

Did we say when it rains, it pours? It is looking more like a monsoon over here. This morning we noticed Starlight is developing a lump on her jaw. Our guess is it will be a dental abscess similar to Snickers but we will find out at her vet appointment Friday. This poor bunny has been through so much and is still one of the sweetest bunnies at the rescue. ❤️

We try not to ask for money often, but given we have no funding other than donations for vet care, food and hay, and we will likely be facing a fourth expensive surgery, we do really need your help. If all of our followers donated $1, we would have a huge chunk of this taken care of. Some fun ideas to help raise money to donate include lemonade stands, bake sales, etc.

When it rains, it pours. We already posted about Tumble and Phineas and their upcoming surgeries (neuters and Tumble gets mats shaved and dental work). Add Snickers to the surgery list. Snickers’ foster noticed a large lump near his jaw. We took him to the vet and it is a dental abscess.

So tomorrow we take 3 bunnies in for surgeries meaning we will be looking at a $4000 bill give or take. This is more than what is in the rescue account. These bunnies need your help! If you can donate any amount to help us meet these vet bills, please donate at https://www.hoppyheartssc.org/donate

Snickers says please and thank you.

Yesterday was another bunny speed dating day at Hoppy Hearts SC - this time with a twist. This couple brought in their bonded trio of bunnies looking to find a candidate to become the fourth member of the bonded group. It was a fun experience and went very smoothly. Myles, Loki, and Snickers were introduced to the group. Loki meshed the best so he went home where the bonding process will continue. We will keep you updated!

Thank you to everyone who notified us about the t shirt posts appearing in the comments sections of some of our Facebook posts. Those were definitely scams. That seems to happen periodically and it is extremely irritating. We have blocked the accounts and deleted the posts we saw. We will never post our shirts for sale in the comments section of a post. We will make a main post about them. There are 5 ways to order shirts from us:

1. On our website store.
2. At an event.
3. Our online auctions.
4. By messaging us on Facebook Messenger.
5. Purchasing our holiday/special edition t shirts from Sweet Lily Graphics, LLC .
