Upcoming Events

Monthly Petco Adoption Event
Every 1st Saturday of the month, come see some of the adoptable HRS rabbits at Walnut Creek Petco! To streamline the adoption process, we recommend taking our Rabbit Care 101 class in advance. We can’t wait to see you there!
Monthly Rabbit Essentials Pantry
Times are tough. With some families facing the hard decision of rehoming their rabbit due to the rising costs of living, House Rabbit Society would like to help by hosting a monthly Rabbit Essentials Pantry. In doing so we hope to support those in our community who are struggling the most as well as help keep the rabbit community happy and healthy.
Potential items available include food pellets, hay, litter pellets, litter boxes and toys. Items are first come first serve and no particular product is guaranteed.
In keeping the cost of rabbit care low, we hope to keep families together and rabbits out of the shelter!
