Volunteer!

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Sunshine Rabbit Center! Volunteers serve so many valuable roles and help us accomplish our mission of rescuing rabbits and supporting the local rabbit community.

We love that you want to help the rescue bunnies! Here are some helpful things to know about volunteering with us. If volunteering at Sunshine sounds right for you, please fill out the interest form below. We’ll get in touch via email to sign you up for our next monthly volunteer info session.

  • Bunny experience is appreciated! It’s not required that you own a rabbit or have worked with rabbits in the past, but we love to see that.

  • There are many roles for volunteers. Some include: daily care for our adoptable rabbits, helping keep the Sunshine facility clean, assisting with events and outreach, and driving for medical transports.

  • Volunteers must be 18 or older. This is for the safety of both the rabbits and the volunteers. We know many high school students want to volunteer with animals. Stay tuned for our info about our Bunny Ambassador program for volunteers ages 14-18 (info coming soon).

  • Volunteers undergo training & commit to ongoing service. We recognize that some volunteers have more availability than others, and that’s totally ok. But, since we invest time into training volunteers, we ask for a 3+ month volunteer commitment. For that reason, volunteering at Sunshine isn’t right for individuals looking to fulfill a specific number of hours for school programs, class credits, or other legal requirements.

  • Working with bunnies gets messy! We appreciate that volunteers may have different personal strengths and physical abilities. However, volunteering in-person with Sunshine is not a good fit for those with allergies to rabbits or hay, those who may struggle with strong smells like litter boxes, and those who require considerable additional support from the Sunshine staff to perform volunteer responsibilities.

If volunteering at Sunshine Rabbit Center is sounding like a good fit for you, please fill out this volunteer interest form and we will get in touch!
