Urgent Black Hills Area ⚠️ We're absolutely full at the moment but someone reached out to us asking us to intake his bunny and it sounds like the bunny is in a bad situation being kept outside or in a garage and exposed to the heat and flies. We don't have much info on the bunny or know whether it is a boy or girl which obviously creates some issues as we can't put the bunny with others until we have that info. Is there anyone who could foster the bunny even temporarily? Any reasonable setup indoors is probably still an improvement over what the bun is currently in. We are worried that the bunny will get fly strike or heat stroke if left in the current situation. The photos were sent by the bunny's current owner. Can you help us get this bunny to safety? 🖤

🚨 Emergency foster homes needed in Rapid City or Iowa ⚠️ Some of our female bunnies are not getting along now that we do not have a large group of rabbits anymore and they have lost their herd mentality. We cannot take in a lot more bunnies though until we get through setting up our new bunny room in Iowa. We are in urgent need of temporary or long term fosters for our girls so that they don't get into fights in the meantime. Even just fostering for a month would be really helpful and we can provide you with the supplies needed! Bunnies get along best in tiny groups or very large groups and unfortunately at the moment we are in the middle of those and do not have the ability to add more bunnies to the group at the moment 💔 please help us temporarily so we can continue taking care of these bunnies in the long run. Pictured are some of the bunnies available for fostering. Adoptions are of course welcomed as well!

We made it back to Rapid City with the bunnies after an exhausting overnight drive. We had a bit of a scare with the truck's battery dying in Sioux Falls but thankfully Pat's family was able to get it running 🛻 We took three buns with who were saved from being killed and eaten. They'll get to see a vet now and get scheduled to be spayed and neutered 🩺 We still have a ton of work ahead of us so we may not post much the next few days. But we at least want to say thank you to everyone who is helping us help the bunnies. This feels like an overwhelming, impossible mission sometimes but there have been amazing, caring things that have happened lately and we want to share some of that with everyone and say thank you ❤️
🍀Thank you so much to our volunteers Emma and Eric who put so much care and time into making sure the buns are safe and taken care of! Thank you for being there for the hardest situations and the bunnies who need it most and are recovering
🍀Thank you Chris for fixing the bunnies' roof when it broke during a storm!
🍀Thank you to everyone who donated items, rags, and funds we need! It was so uplifting and such a relief to come home to packages of supplies for the bunnies! Thank you to Brittney, Pat, Sondra, Victoria, KLeFors, and Desirae - in memory of her bunny Hobbs ❤️, Judy, Joseph, Jenna, Lori, Catherine, Rani, Kristy, Starla, Ann, Julie, and everyone who donated anonymously 🥰
🍀Thank you to all of our new recent fosters/adopters and their families, Priya, Ariel, Shay, Jenny, and Toni! As well as everyone who is interested and in progress 💞
🍀Thank you to the community members who recently helped save the baby bunny and Tyrael from horrible fates as stray bunnies. You stepped in and helped keep them from suffering
🍀Thank you to Emma again for going above and beyond to care for Tyrael and learning from Dr. Mary's amazing team how to do bladder expression and customizing his set up to accommodate his difficulty eating and drinking on his own
🍀Thank you A Home for EveryBunny: Iowa's Rabbit Rescue for your help and support with Nimbus as well as Brianne for looking after her and Acorn while we're in Rapid City 🐇🥰 I feel so much better with them safe in your care

We apologize if we missed anyone in the shoutouts, just let us know and we'll update our post! Thank you all so much again, your support means the world to us and the bunnies! ❤️‍🩹🌎

💔💔💔 Thank you to everyone who tries to help stray bunnies. Please let us know if you'd like to join our volunteer stray bunny catching team. Sorry it's taken so long to get one put together 😞

Early this morning, the following post went out to all of our neighborhood groups:

“We regret to inform you that a black and white domestic rabbit was found deceased on 8/18/2025 on GARDEN VALLEY COURT in ST
PETERS
ID A518192
WHITE RABBIT SH, 5Y
Please call the Pet Adoption Center for more information. - in Saint Peters.”

We’re getting more and more reports of dumped rabbits lately, and heartbreakingly, we didn’t even get a call about this sweet boy until after it was too late.

He had already been struck by a car and killed.

This was someone’s pet once. He relied on humans to protect him and instead, he was dumped outside where he had no chance of survival.

Domestic rabbits are not built for the wild. They do not know how to fend for themselves, avoid predators, find safe food, or escape the dangers of cars.

Dumping is not kindness. It is not “giving them freedom.” It is cruelty, and almost always a death sentence.

Please - if you cannot keep your rabbit, reach out to us, to animal control, to a shelter - anywhere but the streets. They deserve better than this. Stop dumping them.

Thank you so much to The Body Spa & Cryotherapy in Rapid City, SD for donating sheets and towels to our rescue! 🥰 I am not kidding when I say used sheets, towels, and rags are lifelines for taking care of lots of bunnies 🛟 they help keep the hay dust down so we all can breathe and keep their enclosures and carriers comfy, especially after their spay and neuter surgeries. Rescue work can be stressful and The Body Spa helps our team maintain their health ☀️ please check their wonderful services, we especially recommend red light therapy, massages, and frotox! ❄️

If you or your business has used sheets, towels, tshirts, rags, etc that you'd like to donate, please reach out! We are currently accepting donations for these items in South Dakota and Iowa. It's ok if they have holes or are stained, as long as they're useable and haven't been used for car fluids. Thank you for your support! Together we can save the bunnies 💚🌎

Good News! Update on the sick bunny from yesterday:

First of all, huge, huge thank you's to everyone involved! Thank you so much to Dr. Mary and every amazing person working at Meiners Animal Clinic. They do such lifesaving work for bunnies 🐰

Thank you so much to his amazing foster mom who recognized how urgent the situation was and stepped in to save the bunny, who she named Tyrael ❤️ She just lost her own elderly pet bunny days ago and already opened her heart and home to him. She is a hero and one of the most kind-hearted people we have ever met 🥹 Please keep her in your prayers as she goes through grieving and taking care of this special needs bunny. She has to express his bladder every three hours and she stayed up all night last night with him to make sure he was ok. She rushed him to Meiners Animal Clinic first thing this morning. The bunny did not seem to have been attacked or have broken bones, so what was causing the loss of movement and hole in his shoulder?

The cause was botfly, a nasty parasitic infection. But it is usually treatable and we are all expecting and praying for his recovery. Tyrael's vet bill was over $200 and his adoptive mom paid it upfront to ensure he would get medication as soon as possible. We have had a very rough last month with medical issues and haven't gotten any donations for Tyrael or the other bunnies' medical care yet 💔 (🥰 Happy update on donations for medical care, so far we've raised $59! Thank you so much to everyone who's donated so far! Can we raise enough to cover his vet bill?) He was going to be euthanized if he stayed at the shelter and we pulled him because we wanted him to at least have an exam beforehand. Sometimes health issues aren't as severe as they look and are treatable with the right care. No one else was coming to help him, but now he has a chance to live. Tyrael is already moving his back legs a bit on his own and eating and drinking on his own. He wants to pull through and just needed a chance. Can you help us help him and others in similar situations? Please donate to his medical care or supplies if you are able. We have ways to donate listed below. We are also in need of food for the bunnies, especially now that we are opening a second location and taking on building costs for that. We can't keep doing what we are doing without help from you and the community. If you can donate, please do, even a little bit helps. Together we can save the bunnies 🌎💚

Emergency! 🚨 This bunny needs your help! He was found by a caring person in their driveway this morning. He can't move his legs or sit up and has a puncture wound on his shoulder. It looks like the result of an animal attack 💔 he was taken to the shelter but they can't treat injuries this severe so we offered to take him so he wouldn't be euthanized. The emergency clinic isn't treating rabbits today so we are going to do our best at home with a very experienced foster and we will get him to the soonest available clinic when more are open tomorrow. Please help donate to his care if you can, we are struggling with vet bills especially because of our own sick bunnies. We've had three of our own including Nimbus' severe illness this month 🙏 but we won't give up and we'll keep fighting for these little guys. This boy deserves a chance and if he does end up needing to be euthanized at least he'll have been given an exam, a chance, and probably for the first time in his life, love before he crosses the bridge ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜 Time is is not on our side in this situation and we need your help to get him to a bunny-savvy vet as soon as possible 🙏⌛ Together we can save the bunnies 🌎💚

Ways to donate are listed below or if you'd like to donate to our vet directly please let us know and we can ask them for instructions on setting that up once we know which clinic he'll be going to tomorrow.

We'd really like to be able to take these two bunnies in need, Dobby and Winky, into the rescue so we can get them fixed and find them a good home. Since Dobby is a male we have to find him a foster home first because the male bunny at our main location won't get along with other males. If anyone in Rapid City is able to foster him please let us know!
