For any medical emergency, please go directly to an animal hospital or rabbit-savvy veterinarian.

Lucky you for spotting such an elusive, fuzzy creature!

If you see a loose stray bunny:

• Use our website contact form to tell us when and where you saw it (be as specific as possible).

• We’ll respond as quickly as we can, though we’re a small team.

• If we have available fosters and volunteers, we’ll attempt a safe capture.

• If not, we may provide you with resources—like a humane trap—and guide you through the process.

• If you’re able to foster, we’ll onboard you into our foster program until a forever home is found.

Mahalo for being a voice for our bunny friends! We’ve added your report to our growing list of 40+ stray bunnies in need. To rescue more, we first help our current foster bunnies adjust to home life and get adopted. Once space opens up, we can rescue more. It’s a careful, step-by-step process—and your patience and support make it possible.

Yes! Better Bunny is completely volunteer-run. We don’t have a brick-and-mortar shelter—our rescued rabbits live in the homes of kind foster families. Every dollar donated goes directly to medical care and foster supplies. There are no salaries or stipends, just a compassionate team donating their time and resources.

Yes! Better Bunny is a rescue that specializes in rabbits. Rescues are typically private, non-profit organizations that work through foster care rather than large facilities. We focus on helping the stray bunnies of Oʻahu. As a young non-profit, we rely on a network of generous foster homes and volunteers to house and care for each rabbit until they find their forever home.

Yes! Better Bunny is a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization

No. We’re a rescue, not a shelter. Shelters are buildings that house animals, while rescues like Better Bunny rely on a foster network. That said, we share the same no-kill commitment—every healthy, treatable rabbit in our care is given the chance at a forever home.

No—both save animals, but they operate differently.

Shelters are facilities. Rescues are foster networks. Both save lives, just in different ways.

No-Kill Shelters:

• Facility-based, often city/county funded

• Aim for 90%+ live release rate

• Limited intake (may turn animals away when full)

• Euthanasia only for untreatable illness or true danger

Animal Rescues (like Better Bunny):

• Non-profit, volunteer-driven

• Foster home–based (not kennels)

• Often specialize in a type of animal (like rabbits)

• Careful adoption process for the right fit

• Always no-kill

Thank you for your support! We accept monetary and in-kind goods donations (which are tax deductible). We also are in need of volunteers and foster homes!

Currently, we do not yet have the capacity to accept owner surrenders. However, if you reach out to us, we will give you resources to aid in re-homing your bunny.

Yes! All bunnies will be spayed or neutered prior to being adopted, unless they have health issues that would put them at a higher risk for surgery.

Currently, we do not have a location that the public is able to visit. If you are interested in meeting one of our bunnies up for adoption, please reach out so we can arrange a meeting.

Yes, we have an adoption fee of $60 for all of our bunnies to ensure they go to the right home. This small cost also goes towards medical expenses that Better Bunny has covered during the bunny's stay.
