Name Social media network Notes
Rabbits in NC Facebook This group is for those who are looking for or trying to home rabbits in NC, as well as advice and husbandry.
Asheville Rabbit Weirdos Facebook We are a supportive group of rabbit lovers! Our aim is to bring the bunny community in Asheville, WNC, and surrounding areas together to share ideas, tips, knowledge, and of course our cute bunnies! We specifically promote adopting from rescues/shelters and do not support breeding. Our values are rooted in the House Rabbit Society's approach to rabbit care and welfare.

Rabbit rescues and shelters

See Adoption listings for more resources on where to find rabbits for adoption, including country-wide search engines.

The organizations in any table(s) below should usually focus solely or significantly on rabbits and regularly have rabbits up for adoption. Sanctuaries that do not adopt out rabbits and rescues that focus mainly on other species with incidental rabbits up for adoption should be excluded.

Veterinary clinics offering RHDV2 vaccines

The following table is compiled from data on the Rabbitor.info US RHDV2 vaccination resources page. Please see the direct link for the most up-to-date information.

See Rabbit hemorrhagic disease for more information on the fatal disease. There is no treatment or cure for RHD. Most cleaners are ineffective at killing the virus. As a result, it is highly recommended to vaccinate your rabbit for their safety if a veterinary clinic nearby offers the service.

The following table has been compiled from reliable resources that have indicated that the listed clinics will vaccinate rabbits.
