Welcome to the Four Corners Bunnies web site! Scroll down to see our wonderful rabbits available for adoption in New Mexico. On the left sidebar you can find information on a line of knitting patterns and booklets you can buy to help out pet rabbit rescue. If you're looking for a rabbit to adopt in Colorado, please check out the Colorado HRS web site.
 
The New Mexico members of the House Rabbit Society now have a Petfinder page. Please go to http://www.petfinder.org/shelters/NM110.html to see all the rabbits for adoption and read some success stories from rabbits who've found good homes.
 
The Albuquerque Petco stores on Lomas on the east side and Old Airport Road on the west side now have spayed/neutered and microchipped rabbits available for adoption courtesy of the shelters at Albuquerque Animal Control . Please visit these bunnies to help socialize them and also please thank Petco for providing this invaluable service! The adoption fee for the rabbits will go to the House Rabbit Society.

DONATE TO HELP US WITH VET EXPENSES AND SPAYING/NEUTERING! You can donate to help our rescuers care for the Petco and shelter bunnies by sending a check to the House Rabbit Society Headquarters and in the memo section of the check write "FOR NEW MEXICO OPERATIONS". All contributions received will go directly to the medical expenses of the rabbits.
 
OTHER BUNNY NEWS - The Petsmart on Academy in Albuquerque is now selling Oxbow products on a limited basis. Stop by if you are interested in buying their rabbit food in 5 lb bags or their Botanical Hay. They may stock more of Oxbow's rabbit products if this trial goes well.

Bonded Clover & Buckthorn

Clover and Buckthorn are a newly arrived bonded pair at the Albuquerque Animal Control shelter on Lomas. They obviously love each other very much. The boy is fixed but the girl is not and is very hormonal and needs to be spayed soon. Unfortunately our rescuers can not take in bonded rabbit pairs so they will remain at the shelter hoping dearly that they will be adopted together. For more information on this bonded pair, please go to the Animal Control web site. You can also contact Bill Velasquez at bill@rabbit.org or by calling him at (505) 292-6030.

Bonded White Bunny Pair

Unfortunately our rescuers (and Petco) can't take bonded rabbit pairs and these two white rabbits are still at the busy Albuquerque Animal Control shelter on Lomas. The female (urine-stained) has been separated from the male at the shelter and is very frightened to be away from him. The male has an eye abcess and we're not sure how long they will keep him. Volunteers are visiting these two as often as possible and letting them spend some time together to give them some comfort. We're all really hoping some angel will come along to help out these two rabbits who are very close to each other. For more information on these rabbits or if you have any ideas on how to help them, please contact Bill Velasquez at bill@rabbit.org or call him at (505) 292-6030. Also, here's a link to the Albuquerque Animal Control web site.
