WHO WE ARE
Midwest Rabbit Rescue & Re-home rescues domestic rabbits that have been surrendered by their owners, abandoned or abused. We provide the rabbits housing and medical care at our facility in Plymouth, Michigan. Our active adoption program finds new, permanent homes for our rabbits.
  • We are a no-kill rescue

  • We are operated entirely by volunteers

  • We are funded primarily by donations

  • We have numerous volunteering positions available and always need new volunteers

  • All our rabbits are spayed or neutered prior to adoption

  • We are a public charity under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code


WHY ADOPT FROM US
Why should you adopt from us when you can get a rabbit at a pet store? Our adoption fee is $90. You can find rabbits at pet stores for much lower cost - $25 or even less. But when you consider all the factors you’ll realize that we offer much better value.
  • We have many rabbits from which to choose. We know their personalities. We’ll help you find just the right bunny. We’ll support you as you get your bunny settled into your home. Our adoption volunteers have many years of experience. The sales staff in pet stores are frequently unfamiliar with rabbits.

  • The rabbit you adopt from us will be spayed or neutered. The rabbit you obtain from most pet stores will need this procedure. The cost for this procedure can be $125 or more from private veterinarians. We have arrangements with veterinarians who perform the procedures for us at significant discounts because they support our work. By adopting a spayed/neutered rabbit from us you are, in effect, receiving that discount.

  • Our business model is to save bunnies and place them in just the right homes by working with you. The business model for most pet stores is to sell you pet supplies throughout the life of your pet. Selling you a pet is usually just a means to that end.

  • If the bunny you adopt from us doesn’t work out, we’ll take him or her back. We’ll help you select another one. But even if you don’t want to try again, we’ll take back any bunny you adopted from us - for any reason, for no reason, anytime. Most pet stores will not take back an animal they have sold.

  • Most pet stores obtain their rabbits from breeders. There are already too many unwanted rabbits in the world. Purchasing from a breeder only contributes to the number of unwanted animals in the world that suffer or are killed. When you obtain your pet from a rescue you help solve that problem and give a new chance for an animal to have a good life.


Midwest Rabbit Rescue
Awarded Grant from
Build-A-Bear Foundation


Midwest Rabbit Rescue & Re-home is very pleased to announce that it has received a grant award in the amount of $1,000 from the Build-A-Bear Workshop Bear Hugs Foundation. The award will be used to support Midwest Rabbit Rescue’s spay and neuter program, and will provide for the spay/neuter of approximately 16 domestic rabbits. These funds will allow the rabbits to be spayed/neutered soon after arrival at our center. Doing so promotes the health of the rabbit, enhances its experience while housed at our center and improves its prospects for adoption.

The Build-A-Bear Workshop Bear Hugs Foundation is committed to making life for bearable for children, families and pets, in need of a helping paw. With the sale of each full-sized Bearemy’s Kennel Pals® friend - a collection of Build-A-Bear Workshop® plush does - one dollar is donated to domestic pet programs including local animal shelters, stray pet rescue and rehabilitation organizations, and pet education programs around the country. These funds are available to qualified non-profit organizations in the United States and Canada through a quarterly grant process. Visit www.buildabear.com for more information.
