Welcome to Adopt-A-Rabbit Program
The Rabbit Sanctuary, Inc., sponsored by The Fund for Animals
We help to educate people about how to live with rabbits as companion animals. We also offer the opportunity to virtually adopt (sponsor) a sanctuary rabbit through the Adopt A Rabbit Sponsorship Program. View our Adoptables page for a list of rabbits available for sponsorship. Sponsorships help to support rabbits by providing funds for their daily needs.
Sanctuary Profile
Caroline Gilbert devoted her thirty-acre farm in Simpsonville, South Carolina, to the work of Cleveland Amory's Fund for Animals by establishing a sanctuary specifically for domestic rabbits.
The sanctuary's unique "Home for Life" policy ensures a permanent home for these rabbits, all fugitives from local shelters, commercial breeders, laboratories, and unfit homes.
The rabbits are given individualized care, they are spayed and neutered and live with a companion. The majority of the rabbits are housed in territories inside large predator proof structures called Rabbitats. Rabbits that are elderly, have special needs or are being treated for medical conditions, are housed inside the Health Care Building.
For those who want to physically adopt a rabbit, please visit your local humane society or rescue group. See our Helpful Links page for a listing of rescue groups and sanctuaries.
Rabbitat Renovation Fund
Please contribute to our rabbitat renovation fund. We are raising money to pay for renovations to our two rabbitat buildings that house the sanctuary rabbits. In addition to updating the living area, each rabbit couple (or trio in some cases) will be getting an underground tunnel where they can stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. If you would like to contribute to our Rabbit Renovation Fund, click the Make a Donation button at the bottom of the page, or you may send a check to the address listed below. Donations of any amount are appreciated.
