We have been fostering a rabbit from this organization for over half a year now, and are currently in the process of adopting him, and I have nothing but good things to say about how helpful and patient Michelle and the rest of the team at the LA Rabbit Foundation have been throughout this experience. They make sure that the rabbits being fostered enter a warm and inviting environment and are always available when questions or concerns arise. If you are interested in fostering or adopting a rabbit, I highly recommend this organization.
I am currently fostering, and it has been a very positive experience! Since I was very new to this when I started fostering in April 2024 I had many questions, but Michelle was so accommodating and helpful. Overall, I have felt very supported by the team. I also receive regular updates on other foster bunnies, reminders and suggestions for proper care for the bunnies, and check-ins to see how my foster bunny is doing. It is very clear how much the team cares about their rabbits and wants to find loving homes for all of them.
My friends and I first started fostering with LA Rabbit Foundation during covid, and i'm so glad we did! It's been the most fulfilling journey helping foster adoptable rabbits and giving them the love and attention they need. We've since helped get 7 bunnies adopted which just fills my heart with joy.
Michelle and her team are very knowledgeable, and have the highest standards for their rabbits to ensure that each and every one of them go to safe and loving homes. I am always impressed by their dedication to their rabbits, and how much vetting they do before adopting out any rabbit. All the bunnies come to foster homes fully neutered / spayed, litter box trained, and all the bunny care-taking essentials are always provided by the foundation (except veggies as those need to be fresh always!). It's been an incredibly easy experience taking care of the bunnies, and I've felt throughly supported whenever I needed advice on rabbit care-taking. I highly recommend fostering for anyone out there who wants to help some little creatures out. Having a little bun in the home has been one of the most wholesome things to have come out of covid! Pictured is our most recent foster bunny, Caraway.
Los Angeles rabbits has given me a life changing opportunity to share such a joyous love with these beautiful animals. My wife and I fostered a bunny to see if we’d be good bunny parents. It was such an amazing decision! Michelle and Los Angeles rabbits from the first moment made us feel so supported and provided us with so much to ensure we could focus on being loving and attentive foster bunny parents. Our bunny has definitely found his forever home with us and I can honestly say he has given us so much more than we could ever give him! It’s all thanks to the hard work and care from Los Angeles rabbits.
Through this organization, I got to foster a beautiful bunny boy. Since it was my first time taking care of a bunny, I had so many questions and concerns. However, LARF helped me setting up my apartment and provided basic supplies for the bunny! Also, they have been very friendly about my numerous questions as a new bunny mom. I am so happy that I got to meet them. LARF is the best!!!
I have worked with LARF through my time volunteering with LAAS Small Animals. The resources LARF provides to our shelter rabbits is absolutely vital as is their foster program and adoption program for LA area rabbits. Furthermore, the awareness, education, and advocacy that LARF provides the LA area rabbit community is invaluable! As a bunny parent myself, LARFs website and resources are my number one go to and I make sure to pass them on to new and seasoned rabbit parents whenever the chance arises. I’m thankful to Michelle and LARF for being leaders in rabbit care, advocacy and education.
I found an abandoned bunny at Kenneth Hahn Park. Unfortunately, some people believe domestic rabbits can survive in the wild, which isn’t true. Thankfully, I discovered the Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation! Michelle has been absolutely amazing—so helpful, knowledgeable, and kind in teaching me how to care for this sweet little guy. They go above and beyond to ensure these animals are ready to find their forever homes!
When I first got my bunny Seppala in January 2020, she was the opposite of everything I thought I wanted in a rabbit. And I am SO thankful for that. LA Rabbits helped open my heart, and I gave that bunny the absolute best last year of her life. LA Rabbits pays close attention to each individual bunny’s needs and personality. When Seppala passed away, Michelle knew what I’d be looking for and even told me a few bunnies would NOT be a good fit for me, which is really important info to have. When I then got EverQuill, she helped fill a void in my heart, and I’ve had her almost four years! I volunteer at an animal shelter with bunnies and I can honestly say out of all the rescues in the LA area, I by FAR would recommend LA Rabbits the most. I get a lot of information at the shelter, and mixed with my own experience with LA Rabbit Foundation, I highly recommend them for rescuing bunnies. They’re great companions, so funny, and have distinct personalities. And LA Rabbits will walk you through everything you need to know to have free-roaming happy, hoppy, healthy fluff balls of your own.

LA Rabbit Foundation has turned me into a rabbit lover, from having never owned rabbits before. The first time I adopted, while I had done a ton of research and prepared myself as much as possible, I was of course still nervous. But they made it so easy and smooth and still are happy to help you out after the rabbits are no longer in their care. While my first bunny got cancer and sadly passed away, La Rabbits was very supportive and consoling through the process. Then they helped me adopt another two weeks later (my choice, not theirs!) I am forever grateful for my bunny companions. They got me through the crazy COVID year, and I think I found my life-long pet. Some people have dogs. Cats. Goldfish. I’m definitely a rabbit person now!
This organization is absolutely amazing! Michelle and her team work tirelessly to help countless animals in need. They find remarkably creative ways to help as many animals as possible with so little money and resources. Over the years I have observed them accomplish incredible things: hands on rescue, revamping shelter conditions and policies so that the animals can have comfortable environments and a chance at adoption, unparalleled education efforts, policy changes, tireless advocacy, clinics for spay/neuter, vaccine, grooming and a long list of everything else imaginable. I am grateful to Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation for supporting me and my rabbit companions for decades. They are a truly remarkable organization!
This amazing all-volunteer group has saved many rabbits through its active community work in pet rabbit education (prints and distributes materials) as well as its web site where you can find bunny care information, local bunny doctors as well as rabbits available through its foster program. The volunteers are also very active in 6 of the Los Angeles shelters caring for Guinea Pigs, Hamsters and Rabbits. The funds contributed by the volunteers have made possible supplies for the small pets as well as enrichment items. As I sit typing this, one (very cute) foster bunny from this organization is nudging me for some petting, so I better go now.
This is an incredible organization devoted to rabbits and rabbit education! They are doing amazing work and deserve all the support they can get.
If I could give this organization 10 gold stars, I would. Their dedication and compassion for the bunnies is beyond any other I have seen. I adopted my first bunny from them eight years ago, and have since adopted two more. Michelle Kelly and her team of volunteers thoroughly vet all prospective adopters to be sure that the buns go to safe and loving homes, unlike most other organizations that will adopt to anyone willing to pay a fee. LARF provide full guidance and support to the new owners. and to anyone needing it. They find foster homes, they ferry the buns to the vets when medical care is needed. Suffice to say, the compassion, care, commitment and love Michelle and her staff of volunteers give to the bunnies and associated humans Is exceptional. Thank you, Michelle, for all that you do. I cannot imagine how things would be without you. You are exceptional, and I thank you. From Katherine M, (bunnies Bonnie, Bo and Harry).
Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation is exceptionally knowledgable, kind and caring. They take great care of the bunnies and always ready to help in case of emergency. They also welcome foster homes, which is a great opportunity to see if bunnies are a good fit for you without long term commitment. If you're seeking an infusion of cuteness in your life, the Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation is ready to connect you with adorable bunnies.
Amazing Rescue!! Full support prior to, during the adoption process, and lifetime support of your new best friend. Their focus on community and education helps ensure the success of adoptions. Great people, going above and beyond for the buns.
Here are pictures of my rescue darlings from LARF; Basil and LBB (Little Black Bunny) under my desk in my home office. They truly are special little loves that bring smiles every day.
LARF has guided me, and many others, through the wonderful world of rabbit adoption. They provide ample info, reading materials, give support when necessary and have a whole group of caring and knowledgeable volunteers. They actively contribute to rehoming LA shelter bunnies to good, indoor homes and have done so for almost 20 years. They deserve your full support and, why not, adopt a bunny!
I had signed up as a volunteer w LAAnimalServices way back in 2005!!! Obviously the rabbit/small animal room needed me but I was totally ignorant re best practices!!!. Because even in 2005 LARF was the "go-to" rescue to hook up w mentors , that's what I did!!! LARF continues to be the best source of information & supplies, ongoing support for rabbit pets and their people....our shelter bunnies were invited to LARF offsite adoptions. And ongoing, LARF has helped me place bunnies that "fall into my lap"!!!
We got our rabbit “Puff” from the LA Rabbit foundation and found the volunteers exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable. The information given allowed us to provide a happy, free range, and bunny proof home without any trial and error. We can’t thank Michelle and the team enough for the rescues, adoptions, and education services being provided to the Los Angeles community and beyond. Happy to recommend this organization to all and to ask that you support them as well.

My wife and I became bunny foster parents because of the all the wonderful support that the Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation provided. Their goals are to find every shelter rabbit a wonderful and loving home, provide spay/neuter funds for low-income families, and to promote programs that address the domestic rabbit overpopulation problem in the Los Angeles area. We wholehearted support all the volunteer work their members perform.
I learned about Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation some dozen years ago when I happened upon their community event. I was impressed they never tried to talk me into taking an animal and really advocated for the animals. I cannot recommend them
strongly enough. Even if you seek education and not adoption, LARF is the first place to call upon. Five stars? I wish there were 10 stars!

I have known this rescue organization for a dozen years. What makes them outstanding is its president, Dr. Michelle Kelly. She leads this all-volunteer group by example, considering the welfare of the animals first (while treating her volunteers with kid gloves.) I am impressed with her emphasis on education, and whether you adopt or don't you will be enriched with the stories of rescued house rabbits and how these delightful animals fit well with people. She pays special attention to the lovable and deserving "less adoptable" house rabbits. I should know: she matched me with a "less adoptable" bunny who has become the light of my life and apple of my eye. She gives all rabbits that chance for an excellent life, regardless of their circumstance.
This deserving group is financially responsible, working with a network of volunteer foster homes while fostering positive relationships with local veterinarians to help keep costs down.
Anyone interested in adopting a wonderful house rabbit, or just curious, would be well-served to contact LARF.
Kudos to Dr Kelly and the Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation!
I'm a small mammal volunteer for one of our LA city shelters and I am beyond grateful for the LA rabbit foundation. The knowledge, education, training, and mentorship they have provided me with has helped me support our shelter rabbits and potential adopters. They've donated so much to our shelters too! I can confidently say I am a better advocate because of them! Their dedication to supporting shelter volunteers, fosters, and adopters is making this world a safer place for domestic rabbits!! Their standards of care are amazing!! and truly encourages everyone to always prioritize a safe indoor cage free home for rabbits! If you're ever looking to donate, please consider this organization!! Please check out their website to learn about all the opportunities and services they provide (fostering, nail trimming, grooming, etc). The website is also filled with amazing information about rabbit care, vet care, RHDV2 and vaccinations, etc!! Thank you LA rabbit foundation for everything you all do
Around this time last year, I did not have a clue what it meant to be a foster, or how to ever take care of precious animals, like the ones I've been able to meet through the L.A. Rabbit Foundation. Before entering this world, I only knew some minimal things about rabbits, yet that changed after I fostered my first rabbit. Through the LA rabbit foundation, I learned valuable information about rabbits, their care, and how to ensure they're properly cared for. This organization has helped me foster my first bunny, and for that I am thankful for all of the work that they do. Lastly, through their educational guidance, I've been re-educated, because there's a lot of misinformation online.
I have known Michelle Kelly for around 15 years. I have been a Rabbit owner for 30 years. I don’t know anyone more knowledgeable or passionate and caring about the species of Rabbits.
I am currently fostering a young bunny now through Michelle’s foundation. My beloved senior passed away earlier in the year. Michelle provides everything Guda needs. Fostering for me right now is ideal for my present circumstances.
The Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation is such an amazing group. I adopted my girl bunny, Sugar, from the Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation over 10+ years ago as a companion for my single boy bunny, Candy. Without her endless patience in answering my questions from food to behavior to bunny bonding, my bunnies would not have the healthy and great life they do now. At 12+ year old and still going strong, my Candy and Sugar are literally living their best life. Just recently, she altered me before the RHVD2 virus made it to our areas so we could gather uncontaminated hay for our bunnies before the vaccines could be imported. She is such a great source of bunny care knowledge and truly cares about all the bunnies!!
I moved to Los Angeles, ten years ago from NY. Having been a bunny mom since 1990, I quickly found LA Rabbit Foundation and began volunteering regularly. Both of my bonded pair ( sadly, I lost Henry last year) came from LARF. The foundation has worked tirelessly to educate the public on rabbit health, care, and behavior, as well as to find rabbits safe, loving homes. It's been my privilege to help in this process, to foster bunnies, help with bonding, to educate bunny parents about grooming and how to identify a possible health crisis. We desperately need more of such dedicated organizations to advocate for these wonderful creatures with whom we share our lives and hearts.
I have known the director of this foundation, Michelle Kelly, since I started having house rabbits as pets (decades). She has worked tirelessly to save bunnies and to help owners of bunnies provide a happy, healthy home for them. Education has been a priority which is key to keeping rabbits healthy and safe. She has built a great group of volunteers to assist in this endeavor.
I foster failed so hard thanks to LARF! Even if I didn't adopt, LARF made fostering. so easy. They calmed my nerves with so much care, support, information, and supplies to properly care for my bunnies. They made sure to pair me with bunnies that fit my lifestyle. You can immediately tell how much LARF cares for the wellbeing of all rabbits.
I've been a foster for LARF since March 2021, and hold them in the highest regard. Their leadership always puts the welfare of the animals in their care before all else, and paired me with a great foster rabbit who has added a lot of vibrancy and joy to my life. They are responsive with any questions I have, and have helped out on multiple occasions when emergency medical needs arose. You can really tell how much they love their bunnies and how passionate they are about what they do! They are also very thorough about screening homes and ensuring their bunnies go to caring and safe places after they leave. Can't recommend them enough!
I discovered the Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation (LARF) in 2009 simply as someone looking to adopt rabbits. Impressed with their interactions of me, their efforts to insure I was properly educated and prepared to care for the rabbits, and the care they put into the rabbits while in their foster system, I began volunteering. Since then...
One way to measure a non-profit--especially one where nobody is paid--is in the quality of volunteers they not only attract, but more importantly, retain. These are good people, who stay with the organization, doing increasingly good work directly with the rabbits and indirectly with those caring for them: the growing library of care videos, articles, other forms of public outreach is evidence of this. The organization has a growing number of House Rabbit Society licensed educators skilled at applying and sharing their knowledge.
With LARF, the rabbits always come first, but the officers and volunteers understand that animal care begins with the caretaker. Bunnies are not low maintenance--and nobody does a better job at helping the rabbits' human companions stay sane and solvent given the daily expenses and the potential for health crises, crises which the shortage of trained exotic vets can only exacerbate. Consider LARF's outreach on GI stasis, bunnies on budget, grooming...
In terms of bunnies, bunny people, you can't do better in Los Angeles. Yes, as both board member and volunteer, I'm biased: but being on the inside, I see everything--everything-- and I'm continually impressed.
The LA Rabbit Foundation and Michelle go above and beyond. I was having serious trouble bonding my two rabbits, when it came to my attention that the foundation was doing a free webinar on bonding basics. I was feeling pretty down about the whole bonding situation, I was following every advice in the book. All I wanted was for my two beloved rabbits to get along, and it was just not happening. I reached out prior to the webinar to ask a question about my bonding situation. Honestly, I figured it was pretty far fetched that anyone would give me personal advice, I know how busy these organizations can be. To my surprise I received a reply to my e-mail shortly after sending it. The e-mail was filled with useful advice and encouragement. It made me feel hopeful that it would all work out in the end. Following the advice, I waited a few months to allow my younger rabbit to mature before attempting to bond again. This time around the bonding process was a completely different story. I never had to separate my rabbits after re-introducing them again after 6 months. They have been together for a month now, and they absolutely adore each other.
It's obvious that this organization is truly passionate about their work. I'm sincerely grateful for the advice and words of encouragement I received. Thank you so much, keep up the great work! Your ARE making a difference!
This foundation goes above and beyond, and excels when challenged! From educating new homes before they adopt, support through the process and standing by through out the life and following up. With the challenge of COVID, planning RHDV2 vaccination clinics for buns under care and those adopted, and educating those who need boosters. If that wasn't enough - they support the LARGE city shelters with volunteers and educational materials!
I'm a foster mum for bunnies and a volunteer for LA Rabbit Foundation and I can definitely say it's one of the best experience I've had. I've always wanted to care for rabbits and I'm learning a lot with Michelle's guidance. She has a very good heart for all the bunnies and foster parents - she makes sure the foster parents are provided with all the supplies needed and covering the vet bills. I'm glad to have a fluffy companion at home and knowing that I can help save bunny lives.
I've adopted two rabbits from LARF over the past 7 years.
Michelle is knowledgeable and extremely helpful in providing her adopters with up to date knowledge on everything rabbit related. She's always made herself available through the years with any concerns I've had with my adopted rabbits. LARF is truly an advocate for the rabbits.
Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation is 100% volunteer-run, which mean every penny goes directly to the rabbits. At any given time, the organization supports hundreds of rabbits in need of a new home. They cover food, hay, and vet expenses. Every single volunteer is kind, knowledgeable and willing to help new and experienced rabbit lovers alike. They advocate for cage-free indoor homes, which is what every bunny deserves.
Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation is truly the BEST non-profit animal welfare organization I have ever had the pleasure to know. I have adopted from this organization and they have continued to be there for my family well after the adoption was completed. They have answered any questions I have had and have been a resource for me to get further help for my rabbits when I needed it. This organization really cares about animals and the people who adopt from them.
LARF is a great organization and is run by wonderful volunteers who are so knowledgeable about the care and welfare of rabbits. I have had the pleasure of adopting two rabbits from this organization and they were so helpful during this process. I can’t thank Michelle enough for all of her help.
Two years ago I adopted my handsome boy Mozart from Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation and the experience couldn't have been better. We had time to meet each other and to see if we match :) People from the Foundation gave me a lot of helpful advice. I can't thank Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation enough! They truly care about every bunny and help them find great homes. Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation has a terrific foster program. They provide all the supplies for the rabbits except for the daily vegetables and you can bring the bunny back if you have to go out of town or if you decided that bunnies are not good for you.
I have known Michelle Kelly and her Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation for over 15 yrs. First of all, Michelle is an amazing person. She is brilliant, and dedicated, passionate, tireless, consistent, and a blessing to rabbits in need. She attracts wonderful volunteers because she is reliable, above board & very supportive. I can honestly say she works around the clock gathering information about what to do next for the rabbits. She is a treasure trove of information & dispels it freely & often. She cares for the shelter rabbits & makes sure they get what they need be it medical attention, proper food, playtime, and great adopters. She remodeled rabbit rooms at shelters to make them safer & more rabbit friendly. She finds awesome fosters & gives them all the supplies to keep bunnies happy & well-cared for while they wait for their forever homes. She plans fun events & fundraisers, & volunteer appreciation parties. I sincerely cannot say enough good things about Michelle & Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation.
I have adopted several rabbits from LARF over the years and they are an amazing rescue group. They are there for you always to help with any questions you ever have about your rabbits. Michelle Kelly is one of the most knowledgeable rabbit people I’ve ever known.
I have fostered for this nonprofit twice and also volunteered to help care and advocate for the bunnies on their behalf at the shelter and adoption events. Their dedication to rabbit safety and care is admirable. They are always willing to take the time to educate. They are an incredible asset to the community.
It's a lot of commitment to adopt a pet and I have loved rabbits my whole life. I just wasn't sure I wanted the responsibility, so I followed LA Rabbits online for a long time before considering adopting a pet from them.
When they posted a picture of three nameless rabbits that had suffered abuse it broke my heart. They said a bonded trio would be harder to place, and preferably going to someone that would give them enough space to heal from whatever trauma they endured.
I went to see them & was pleased that I was being vetted as a good fit for them as much as if the bunnies would be for me. The woman that runs the rescue offered ongoing advice on supportive care, vets, and countless knowledge on how to address their specific needs. It's obviously a cause very dear to the heart of everyone involved in this organization.
Those rabbits (Larry, Moe, & Curly) & the one I recently fostered to adopt (Mr. Bubbles) have meant so much to me. This is a beautiful foundation. The work they are doing to educate everyone about the dangers of the rabbit hemorrhagic disease is absolutely essential & saving lives. I was able to get my bunnies vaccinated and warn others in time to protect their babies. I have so much gratitude for the LA Rabbit Foundation.
LA Rabbit Foundation truly wants what is best for bunnies. They do everything from capture house rabbits whose careless owners have let them loose to providing medical care and vaccinating everybun in the foundation, to finding the best possible adopters. The founder works tirelessly and doesn’t get paid a dime. Her life is dedicated to everything bunny. I call her the Bunny Angel.
Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation is one of the best nonprofits I’ve ever worked with. Some organizations get lost in the details of managing a nonprofit, and lose sight of the main mission of the organization. Michelle Kelly keeps LARF focused on the number one priority - which is the health and well-being of all the rabbits she comes in contact with. Whether advising on adoptions, rescuing rabbits that have been abandoned, or giving advice to rabbit owners, she is a wealth of information and gives freely of her time and expertise - which is extremely limited because of the number of rabbits that she helps. I have known about and donated to this organization over the past nine years and I highly recommend anyone who cares about animals and wants to have their money go to a good cause. This is one of them!

This is one of the most dedicated non-profits I’ve ever been involved with. I’ve known the founder for 7 years when we rescued abandoned rabbits and found homes for all of them - including my own! I would highly recommend this non-profit to anyone who wanted to learn about the proper care of domestic rabbits. This is Squirt, Matthew and Timothy - and they are alive today because of LA Rabbit Foundation!
Michelle and the LA Rabbit Foundation are truly life savers. We found an abandoned bunny on the street and they were extremely quick to reply with tips on how to catch her, and once we had they were immediately happy to support us while we fostered her, covered every cost, provided us with everything that we could possibly need, and were always available for questions as we were first time bunny caretakers and needed a lot of advice! They take such good care of bunnies and make sure every single one goes to a loving, caring home, and I could not be more pleased to have worked with them.
I foster for LARF. There is not a better organization more dedicated nor more knowledgeable about rabbit rescue, rehabilitation, and care.
The Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation helped my daughter and I complete our "family" by allowing us to foster, and then adopt our bunnies, Licorice and Vanilla Bean, from their rescue organization. We have now been interacting with, volunteering for, and supporting the Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation for over 3 years now, and all of the workers and volunteers couldn't be more amazing, devoted, kind, generous and wonderful people. My daughter and I call them, "Bunny Saints".... and they truly are. This organization has rescued, saved the lives of and found homes for thousands of abandoned rabbits all over Los Angeles. When one of our rabbits became ill with a life threatening ear infection, the Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation went out of their way to guide us, support us, educate us, and offer their help to save our rabbit's life... who we are happy to report has been a healthy, hoppy bunny for years since. We truly couldn't be more grateful to this organization, and happier with our sweet bunnies that have brought so much love to our home. Thank you, Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation for everything!! (Licorice and Vanilla Bean thank you as well!)
A year ago my boyfriend found a rabbit that had been abandon in the heat of Summer without food or water. Knowing little about caring for rabbits I reached out to Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation. They were quick to respond with help and support.
I became a foster to this abandon bunny through the Los Angeles Rabbit Foundations foster program. It was a pleasure to see my foster get his health back. A few months later he was adopted into the most amazing home.
I'm extremely grateful to Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation for all the support they provided to me and my foster rabbit.
We are overjoyed that LARF helped us find our beloved Basil Bean! We attended the mobile adoption and were thrilled with all of the education we received from Michelle and the volunteers. We felt that we could adopt a rabbit from LARF with confidence. We were also informed of how to set up our home so that we could keep our house rabbit safe. We met our precious albino Basil and fell in love instantly. Once we were approved to adopt, Michelle helped us get supplies together so that we would be prepared for our new bunny. On the day of adoption Michelle gave us a bag of hay and some chew toys to help us get started. All of their rabbits are neutered/spayed and microchipped so that was also a huge bonus.
We’ve had Basil for almost a year now and we highly recommend adopting or fostering through LARF! This has been such a wonderful experience
I first met Michelle at the LARF mobile adoption that is held every Saturday. My bunny had lost her companion and I brought her to go on a speed date with a sad, lonely bunny that had also lost his mate. It was love at first sight! Years later, I adopted a pair that had been rescued from downtown L.A.. Michelle's knowledge about everything rabbit was astounding and so helpful. From fostering, adoption, spay and neuter, housing, health, diet and behavior, Michelle shares all her wisdom. It is her passion, commitment , dedication and love that inspired me to help in any way I could to contribute to the great work her foundation does. The whole team of volunteers are amazing and put so much of themselves into this beautiful cause. LARF is absolutely stellar in their work to help rabbits!
I just recently adopted the sweetest little bunny, who was rescued by the LA Rabbit Foundation, after being dumped in a park. I appreciate that the LARF made sure I would be a good owner with a safe space for the bunny. Once I was approved they provided a litter box, food, supplies and had already spade and microchipped the bunny. This was a huge help in getting me started! I’m now so in love with my new bunny, and am so happy I was able to adopt a rescue. I highly recommend the Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation!
Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation and its leader, Michelle, are shining lights in the rescue world. Michelle cares deeply for the rabbits and knows every in and out regarding their care. LARF knows each rabbit's personality so you're sure to get the right rabbit for your lifestyle while at the same time having access to top-notch advice. Best of all is the foster program: as long as you safely house and love a rabbit in need, Michelle herself will ensure you have all the supplies and medical care you need, paid for by LARF, until the rabbit is adopted into its forever home. Michelle's foster program is second-to-none and she has the capacity for so many more fosters! Pictures attached are of my own LARF foster rabbit, who is king of the castle here.
Michelle was so supportive when I reached out about fostering a bunny! She talked me through all of Girlilla's habits, interests, and quirks, went out of her way to make sure I had a secure gate for the bunny bedroom, and hooked me up with a litter pan, toys, pellets, a lifetime supply of hay ...
LARF makes it super easy to foster! Plus, I know this community will be there for me if anything ever happens to this darling little bungirl. :-)
We adopted our first bunny, Misty from LA Rabbit Foundation. The team was super helpful in educating rabbit owners and making sure they give you all the resources you need. I can not say enough good things about this group and their dedicated volunteers.
I'm so happy I found this place! I have been looking to adopt a bunny for a while now and LARF paired me with the perfect bun! I am so lucky to find my bun boy Milo. Michelle and her volunteers were so helpful with all of the supplies I should purchase so that I could make him as happy as possible. I would highly recommend anyone to LARF!
I love Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation! I knew NOTHING about rabbits and found not one, but four rabbits over two years that needed rescue. I had no idea how to trap and care for them and they helped educate me. I learned how to foster the bunnies, get them neutered at reputable veterinarians where they helped with sterilization discounts and eventually get the rabbits adopted to great homes that came through their adoption portals. They are all volunteer. They are so in need always of fosters to help save more lives. They need support for spay/ either which is more costly for bunnies than dogs and cats. They hold excellent adoptions and grooming events on the weekends. They stand out from the crowd of any rescues as they work in the shelter daily cleaning and caring for the rabbits and educating the public about rabbit care. People don’t know that bunnies can live 15 years and also they have unique constitutions like horses. LARF teaches potential adopters about their healthcare, need for sterilization and safe home environments with no hutches or outdoors life and free roaming to be with family away from predatory animals, wires, etc. Thank you LARF for teaching me all this informayion to help future rabbits that may be in need and to help their guardians to better care for them in their homes. Here’s a few of those cuties LARF helped me with!

Thank you for your kind words. We are a team of 100% volunteers who are dedicated to helping the rabbits and you. We do this out of love and appreciate everyone who works with us, as you have, to help save the rabbits. Thank YOU!
