In the shelter’s words
Meet Ruby, an approximately one- to two-year-old Lionhead girl with a beautiful face and a heart that is slowly learning it’s safe to trust again. Ruby’s story began when she was found abandoned outside and taken in by people who wanted to help her. Unfortunately, they didn’t understand how to properly care for rabbits, and Ruby didn’t receive the housing and care she needed. Eventually, she was placed on our owner surrender waitlist and made her way to OHRR, where she could finally get the attention and support she deserved. When Ruby arrived at the Center, she showed signs of anxiety. An examination raised concerns that she may have experienced rough handling in her past, including being scruffed and physically thrown. She had discomfort around her right hip and back leg, as well as tension and bunching around the base of her skull. While we can’t know exactly what happened to her, we do know that Ruby has had experiences that may have made it difficult for her to feel safe around people. The wonderful news is that Ruby has begun to trust the people around her at the Center. For a bunny who may have learned that humans aren't always safe, that trust is something truly special. With people she knows and feels comfortable around, Ruby reveals her incredibly sweet side. We suspect that once she finds her person—the one who earns her trust and makes her feel secure—she may become an especially devoted companion. Ruby would do best in a calm, patient home where she can settle in at her own pace and never feel pressured. She needs someone who understands that trust is earned through gentleness, consistency, and respect for her boundaries. In return, that person may discover a bond unlike any other: the kind that comes from knowing a once-frightened little bunny has finally found someone she feels safe with. Ruby has already come a long way, and she deserves a future filled with kindness, comfort, and security. Could you be the special person who helps her discover just how wonderful life can be? If you have read our Adoption Policy and are interested in adopting Ruby, please complete and submit the online Adoption Application.

Plan a visit with the source organization
We require that all of our rabbits live indoors in a minimum of a 4x4 space or free range inside the home, be fed high-quality pellets, unlimited hay and a daily salad and given plenty of attention and exercise. Adopters also commit to providing regular veterinary care. All rabbits are spayed/neutered before being adopted. In addition, the primary caregiver must be an adult. If the adopter cannot care for their rabbit, they must return it to Ohio House Rabbit Rescue. To adopt a rabbit, potential adopters must first fill out an application for a rabbit they are interested in. Then, they are interviewed by OHRR Adoption Coordinators. If their application is approved and interview is successful, they sign a contract stating that they understand our expectations for the care of their rabbit(s), that they will notify Ohio House Rabbit Rescue when the rabbit dies, and that they understand that OHRR reserves the right to remove the rabbit if we feel his/her life is endangered or if there is a violation of the adoption policy. OHRR delivers all rabbits to the home of the adopter to help the adopter set-up their new rabbitâs space and help with additional rabbit-proofing. This also helps OHRR to ensure that all rabbit housing is appropriate. To adopt a single rabbit the fee is $40. A bonded pair is $60.
