The Rabbit Sanctuary was founded in 2008 by Kim Cooney & her late husband, Jim. They became aware of the problems facing abandoned rabbits due to QLD's strict prohibition laws.Teaming up with the RSCPA & AWL in QLD, they entered into an agreement that would see them rescue all rabbits from both organisations.The Rabbit Rescue Sanctuary was established to help unwanted rabbits or rabbits and their owners that need long term or short term help. It is set in a beautiful bushland setting in Northern NSW Australia. It is a no kill shelter. Rabbits at the Rabbit Sanctuary are desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and receive veterinary care. They are fed premium rabbit pellets, hays and fresh picked grasses.Some rabbits may be available to suitable homes with our advice and ongoing support. People can bring their rabbits to the shelter to live if they can't keep them for any reason.The Rabbit Sanctuary is sponsored by The Pet Directory, Oxbow, and over 20 veterinary practices in major locations. It relies on donations and fundraising to continue the rabbit rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming.
