Working Together to Make a
Difference in Their World
Bunnies Matter is a grassroots, all-volunteer rabbit rescue based in Las Vegas, Nevada. We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome abandoned rabbits — and fight every day to stop the cycle of dumping.
A Grassroots Rescue Powered by Heart
Bunnies Matter is different from most rescue groups in that all of our amazing volunteers contribute their time and their own money to help these bunnies. We cannot solely rely on outside donations — we cannot stop helping them even when funds run low.
Unfortunately, there are still bunny dumpsites all over Las Vegas today. The two root causes: no low-cost public spay/neuter facilities for rabbits, and animal control not addressing out-of-control backyard breeders. We are working on solving both problems every single day.
#missionimpossible is our goal.
Rescue & Rehome
We pull rabbits from dumpsites, parks, and overcrowded shelters across Las Vegas and place them in loving forever homes — 100% altered before adoption.
Advocate for Change
We work with Las Vegas City, Clark County, and Henderson to strengthen spay/neuter laws for rabbits and hold backyard breeders accountable.
Educate the Public
Rabbits are exotic pets that require specialized care and vets. We spread awareness so fewer bunnies end up abandoned in parks and neighborhoods.
Empower Volunteers
Our all-volunteer team shows up twice a day, seven days a week. Every volunteer contributes both time and personal funds — this is true grassroots rescue.
The People Behind the Mission
Every single person on our team is a volunteer. No paid staff. No corporate backing. Just dedicated Las Vegas residents who show up — rain or shine, holidays included — because these bunnies need them.
Bunny Care Volunteers
Show up twice daily — morning and evening — to feed, water, and monitor the bunnies at our Las Vegas dumpsite locations. This is our most critical need.
Adoption Event Team
Help run our Saturday adoption events, meet potential adopters, and help match bunnies with their forever families.
How to Start a Rabbit Rescue in Your City
We've learned a lot since our early days in Las Vegas. If you're seeing rabbit dumping in your community, here's the playbook we wish we'd had from the start.
Research Local Ordinances
Find out what animal laws govern your city, county, and surrounding jurisdictions. If rabbits aren't required to be spayed/neutered before sale or adoption, that's your first goal to change.
Engage Local Leaders
Connect with animal-loving politicians and stress the importance of spay/neuter laws. Bring a baby bunny — it's hard to say no. Explain that spay/neuter costs $200–$400, making cheap pet-store sales a form of false advertising.
Build Your Platform
Open a Facebook page, set up fundraising (GoFundMe, PayPal, Amazon Wish List), and create a Mailchimp account to recruit and organize volunteers.
Gather Supplies
Exercise pens (x-pens) are critical to any rabbit rescue. Build relationships with local feed stores and establish a Chewy or Amazon wish list so supporters can send supplies directly.
Get in Touch
The best way to reach us is by email or text. If you call, it will likely go to voicemail and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
