THERE ARE MANY REASONS PEOPLE WANT OR NEED TO SURRENDER THEIR BUNNIES. IF YOUR BUNNY OR BUNNIES ARE MIS-BEHAVING, THE MOST COMMON REASON IS THAT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN FIXED. IF THAT IS THE CASE, WE WORK WITH SEVERAL VETS AND WE CAN HELP YOU GET YOUR BUNNIES SCHEDULED. BUNNIES WILL BEHAVE MUCH BETTER AND WILL HAVE MUCH BETTER LITTER BOX HABITS IF THEY DON’T HAVE HORMONES RAGING THROUGH THEIR BODIES.
IF YOU ARE HAVING MONEY ISSUES AND CAN’T AFFORD FOOD OR PROPER HOUSING FOR A WHILE, WE ARE ALWAYS GLAD TO ASSIST YOU WITH THAT PROBLEM SO THAT YOU CAN KEEP YOUR PET. IF YOU CAN’T AFFORD VET CARE, MANY TIMES WE CAN REACH OUT TO OUR BUNNY FRIENDS TO HELP WITH A SOLUTION FOR YOU AND YOUR BUNNY.
IF YOU ARE MOVING, WE HAVE MOVED BUNNIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, 2600 MILES VIA VAN AND VIA PLANE. IT CAN BE DONE. THERE ARE MANY PLACES THAT ALLOW PETS.
BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC, THE PUBLIC SHELTERS HAVEN’T BEEN RUNNING AT FULL CAPACITY, FLOODING US WITH BUNNY SURRENDERS THE LAST 2 YEARS. SO CURRENTLY WE ARE FULL WITH A WAITING LIST. IF YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY SURRENDER YOUR PET, THE ONLY SAFE PLACE IN LAS VEGAS BESIDES BUNNIES MATTER RESCUE IS THE NEVADA SPCA. OR THE HENDERSON ANIMAL SHELTER (YOU HAVE TO BE A RESIDENT). PLEASE DO NOT SURRENDER YOUR PET TO THE ANIMAL FOUNDATION UNLESS IT IS A LAST RESORT.
AS OF TODAY, MAY 26, 2022, WE ARE NO LONGER TAKING PUBLIC SURRENDER REQUESTS UNLESS YOU ARE SURRENDERING BUNNIES THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED FROM US. WE CURRENTLY HAVE OVER 70 BUNNIES IN OUR CARE AND UNFORTUNATELY, WE CAN NOT CARE FOR MORE AT THIS TIME.
WE CAN GIVE YOU ADVICE OR EVEN FOOD AND SUPPLIES, BUT WE CAN NOT TAKE IN ANY MORE BUNNIES UNLESS THEY WERE ADOPTED FROM US. THE REASON FOR THIS CHANGE IS BECAUSE WE HAVE GOTTEN SO MANY SURRENDER REQUESTS THIS YEAR THAT IT IS PROHIBITING US FROM RESCUING ANY LOST OR DUMPED BUNNIES IN LAS VEGAS, WHICH IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WHY BUNNIES MATTER RESCUE EXISTS.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO SURRENDER YOUR BUNNY, ONE OF THE VERY FEW SAFE PLACES IS THE NEVADA SPCA (NO-KILL SHELTER).

IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF HENDERSON, THE HENDERSON ANIMAL SHELTER IS ALSO A NO-KILL SHELTER & WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM AS WELL.

WE CAN NOT RESCUE OR REHABILITATE WILD RABBITS (COTTONTAILS OR JACKRABBITS) AS WE ARE A DOMESTIC RABBIT RESCUE. SADLY, NEVADA HAS LITTLE TO NO PROVISIONS TO REHAB OR HELP ANY WILDLIFE IN THIS STATE. BUT IF YOU WANT TO BOAT, FISH OR HUNT, PLEASE CALL THE NEVADA DIVISION OF WILDLIFE AND THEY CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT.
