Bunny World Foundation

So pleased with how well they matched my baby boy, he is very happy with is beautiful bunny wife thank you for finding my baby boy such a beautiful love ! You guys are awesome !

I can not say enough amazing things about BWF. They helped me find my two amazing bunnies, Lily and Bea. I’ve never had rabbits before and they have been so helpful and informative. They’re always there to answer questions and are so supportive. When you adopt with BWF, you become a part of their Facebook group of other adopters. It has been such a great resource and makes you feel like you’re part of a family. Highly recommend them!

Got in touch with BunnyWorld to find a friend for my lonely little dwarf bunny. Its was a great experience! I’ve owned rabbits for many years, and it was awesome to be able to work with such a knowledgeable group of people! I brought my boy Kirby in for a «speed date», picked 4 girls that I liked, and then we put him in a pen with the 4 and let him choose which girlfriend he liked best. He was so awkward at first — lonely little bachelor suddenly shoved into a group of hot single ladies! He picked a darling little chestnut, and I took them home to start the «nightmare of bonding» — except it wasn’t a nightmare at all. Lejla (bonding expert and a goldmine of information) was available by phone ²⁴⁄₇ to help with any bonding issues, and gave me phenomenal advice. I called her twice when there was a spat, and followed her advice to the letter, and Presto! My pair never had a full-​on fight, and were completely bonded and living in their permanent cage in just over a week! It was so great!
My little Kirby is SO happy to have his wonderful wife Mayzy, and she has been a joy to have in my life! She is crazy and goofy and I spend hours just laughing at her.
I was so impressed with the heart that this group has for bunnies that I have also fostered for them a couple of times, and volunteered at some of the adoption events.
Thank you BunnyWorld for rescuing Mayzy and her mom/​siblings from the shelter, and for bringing her into my life! I love her so much, and Kirby loves her even more :)

Caring, passionate, super knowledgeable and dedicated to the welfare of rabbits. BWF found a perfect match for my bun. Nothing better than having two happy buns in love. BWF always goes above and beyond the call of duty. If you have a bunny question, they will give you an answer. They are a wonderful resource. I have great respect for this organization.

When I moved to LA six months ago I was devastated to leave my vet at home in New York and even more anxious to travel across country with two 8 year old rabbits. Once we got to Los Angeles safely I had to find a good rabbit vet… Anyone who has owned rabbits knows this is not easy. BWF was a lifesaver for me and for my rabbits– literally. Not only did they provide me with a list of many expert rabbit vets in the LA area, the founder, Lejla, has personally talked me through several health scares with my bunnies. BWF was so helpful and great for me right off the bat that I decided to volunteer with them in order to give something back. I highly recommend this organization to anyone who has bunnies, wants to adopt some, or just wishes to donate time or funds to a wonderful organization. Also I can personally attest that every cent this org gets goes directly to bunnies– not something many animal based charities/​funds/​shelters can say.

I have been a rabbit parent for about 5 years now. When it comes to animals, I have an extremely by-​the-​book mentality to pet care and make sure to do plenty of research in every facet of husbandry. After just a few weeks of volunteering and fostering with BWF, I’ve learned more than I had in my 5 years of self-​education. Lejla and her network of trusted fosters are really great authorities on all things bunny, and it pains me to know I had neglected to do things the right way for so long, i.e. proper brushing, dietary needs and amounts, general bunny psychology, etc.
During one of the Petco events, I met a tiny little girl named Sparkle making her debut after being plucked out of death row at an LA shelter. She was Lilliputian and had the disposition of a puppy; I instantly knew I had to have her. I decided to adopt her, and Lejla made sure to practice proper bonding protocol to introduce her to my other two boys. Fast-​forward a a few weeks: this tiny baby is loving life with her two new big brothers.

BWF is a wonderful organization with a strong «family» of volunteers and fosters who all have the same goal in mind. Rescuing rabbits and finding the «right» family and home is not an easy task. Lejla and her team of volunteers do an outstanding job finding these rescued rabbits a safe forever home.
I’m currently fostering three rabbits right now and have fostered two in December. It is a wonderful experience and only for those who understand the time and energy needed for these rabbits.
My handicap foster, George, is looking for a forever home and requires a lot of TLC. If you are interested or know someone who is in adopting George, please contact BWF. Keep in mind he requires a lot of time and commitment. However, you will be rewarded with lots of bunny kisses.
I have learned a lot from Lejla on grooming, bonding, and treating special needs rabbits. I have also met a lot of wonderful people by going to the adoption events at Petco on Sunday’s.
If you are curious about BWF feel free to stop by at Petco in Pasadena on Sunday and come check us out.

My husband and I adopted a beautiful young dwarf/​hotot bunny girl from BWF. She is only about 9 months old. They have a great selection.
The staff is very caring about the animals. They are knowledgable, and have a way when working with them.
They were able to find a good match for our bunny in a short amount of time.
After the adoption which was cheaper than the price to neuter our first rabbit, they kept constant contact to make sure our rabbits were bonding well. They offered help in case we needed someone with multiple rabbits to bind our rabbits for us. Luckily their advice seemed to work well enough.
They also spent two hours propperly grooming and clipping nails for our bunnies so that they don’t hurt each other during bonding. They also recommended a great place to buy pellets and hay on the way from my hubby’s work. We are saving tons of money.

I’ve had rabbits for almost 8 years now. Bunny World Foundation is an indispensable resource for humans and bunbuns alike.
This year was my first experience fostering rabbits, and I’m so glad i did so through BWF. Let me tell you– fostering is no easy task. It’s unbelievably difficult on multiple levels, none made easier by my tiny apartment, busy work schedule, or existing rabbits. 6 rabbits. yea. There have been tears, and sleepless nights, and oh my god I clean more than I ever have in my life. That said, looking across the room at three happy rabbits I raised from being tiny little gerbil sized babies is pretty crazy awesome rewarding. It was four– one of my fosters was just adopted this week– by the most fantastic people. I drove home in complete silence beside my empty carrier, my heart bursting with every possible emotion, but mostly overjoyed for my foster bun, welcomed into a new family and so deserving of it.
BWF truly cares about its rabbits, its foster families, and it’s future adopters. Their adoption process is a bit grueling, and rightfully so– rabbits don’t end up in shelters because the owners were PROPERLY screened… you feel me?
If you are looking to adopt, boy have you come to the right place. The rabbits have been socialized, fixed, groomed, loved, and litterbox trained. They are ready to enter your home and change your life– for the better– in more ways than you could imagine.
If you’re looking to foster, my warning is it’s not for the faint of heart. If you expect ease and convenience, turn around, run away. But if you’re resilient, ready to get to work, ready to hands-​on help out, and prepared for an wildly emotional journey that is truly rewarding, all aboard.

I adopted two bunnies from Bunny World and I couldn’t be happier! I recommend anyone who is thinking of adopting or fostering to go through BWF. They have an online FB group where everyone connects and communicates to make bunny parenthood a breeze. I don’t know what I’d do without them!!! My two bunnies along with hundreds of others wouldn’t be here without BWF!!!
Thank You!
Lindsay, Willow, and Rupert

BWF is an amazing resource and has done so much to improve the plight of rabbits in Los Angeles. I knew nothing at all about rabbits until one was dumped in my community garden. I took him in temporarily, hoping to find a home for him. While trying to find more info about bunny care, I found BWF and they helped me immensely. I got good advice about housing and care, as well as a list of rabbit-​savvy vets. Before I knew it, I fell in love and decided to keep Arthur.
I soon realized he was lonely and again, BWF saved the day. They met Arthur, and based on his temperament, recommended he go on a date with two sisters. The date went well and we were sent home with detailed bonding instructions and the invitation to reach out if we encountered any problems with the bonding process (which is often long and difficult). But with our trio, it was love at first sight! I now volunteer at an animal shelter where I live in northern California and I have never seen a bonding go so smoothly. They are expert matchmakers!
If you want to adopt a rabbit or donate to an organization that moves mountains to help animals, you can’t go wrong with Bunny World Foundation!

Just wanted to let y’all know that Blue and Kiwi are doing well and I thank the Bunny World Foundation so much for them! I’m so grateful for their persistence in saving Blue’s eye, it almost needed to be removed but they religiously put eyedrops and were able to save it. I’ve nicknamed her Priscilla Blue because she’s the proper little queen! And Kiwi looks out for her because she can’t see very well now. They are the sugar and spice of my life. And Kiwi is nicknamed Godzilla (when he chews up my art! And he LOVES bananas). I also call him Butters because he tries to butter me up al the time with kisses and snugs, but mostly when he wants a treat! This Foundation is so great for the community and they’re such humane and caring people and make sure the bunnies get to a good home or are given foster care instead of ever taking them to a shelter. I love them so much and can’t thank you enough. Lejla gives her heart and soul to these innocent little creatures and she deserves all the support possible.
I appreciate all you do!!!

Thank Goodness for Bunny World Foundation and all the Volunteers there making a difference in saving Bunny Rabbit Lives and finding them all good safe homes. I have 8 very sweet Bunny’s from Bunny world Foundation and thanks to the foundation, I have learned the best ways to keep my Bunnies happy healthy and safe — they have educated me on what to feed them, what signs to look for as a medical emergency in my buns as well as how to create the best and safest site for them to live indoors with our family.
I would highly recommend potential adopters check out Bunny World Foundation in considering their choice for adopting some new members to their family.

I ran across this website by chance on facebook last year. I have two rabbits at home and wanted to help out with the Santee rabbits. I ended up fostering Daffodil and Monroe and then adopting them. Lejla genuinely cares for these rabbits. It is wonderful to be a part of a group of like minded bunny lovers. If you have a question about bunny care or other concerns, someone in the warren will have an answer! Its a great support network. Please open your heart and share a home with a bunny or two or three.

I reached out to BWF for help last spring when I saw two bunnies who were on death row at the Moreno Valley shelter & received an immediate response from Lejla (I was so relieved!). BWF was able to pull them from the shelter and saved their lives within 24 hours from over an hour away. SO many wonderful bunnies have found forever homes because of this rescue. I had absolutely NO knowledge about bunnies before I contacted them, so I am forever grateful for the time that they spend educating clueless people like me :). Their knowledge and compassion is outstanding! I’ve never met such a hardworking, passionate & committed team of volunteers. Lejla is a true warrior for the voiceless!

When one of my rabbits passed away, leaving his bonded mate distressed, Bunny World saved me. I had never adopted a rabbit before but they make the process easy. Firstly they invited me to an adoption event and paired my bunny with two others they thought he would fit well with. Once they saw the trio got together well they took me through the adoption process.
They have you fill out some paperwork when they bring the adopted bunnies to your house. The absolute best part is they help you bond! A volunteer stayed at my house for a few hours to ensure that everything was okay. Bonding can be tricky and very stressful so having help with this process is life saving.
Also any rabbit you adopt is already fixed and they provide a list of vets that specialize in bunny care. The community is also great and always quickly answers any questions you might have.
I had never considered adopting before but after Bunny World I will always adopt! This place is great for veteran bunny owners and new comers alike!

Bunny World Foundation is such an amazing rabbit rescue! There is such dedication, compassion, and commitment from this organization to save as many lives as possible from high kill animal shelters. I have so much respect for the founder of BWF, Lejla. She goes above and beyond for not only rabbits, but other animals as well. She is truly amazing.
I came across a few bunnies that were in very bad situations and Lejla helped get me the right medical care that they needed as well as helped to try and find them homes. She said yes to assisting me with these bunnies when many other rescues said no. Thank you for all that you do!

I had first come to BWF looking to adopt a couple of bunnies after the death of my bunny. After adopting a couple of bunnies I was stayed in touch with BWF though FaceBook. I saw in the group that there was a foster asking for help for a month, she was going out of town due to the holidays. I volunteered to help care for her fosters. When it was time for the month to be up and she was ready to pick up her fosters another foster was injured and needed help. Again I volunteered to help the second foster and was told by Lejla, the founder that it would be better to just keep the current fosters I have and the foster who just came back will get the ones from the injured foster. I was asked how long I would be able to foster these 4 I told Lejla I would be able to do 2 months. Over the course of nearly 2 years I would volunteer more, including to transporting bunnies to the vet, transporting bunnies from homes and shelters, fostering up to 16 bunnies (including the 4 bunnies that I have adotped), responding to general public questions, medicating bunnies, managing the adoption events, handling paper work, caring for special needs bunnies, monitoring parts of the FB page, making regular donations, being a mentor, handling money, recruiting volunteers, fundraising, board member duties, and even going to Lejla’s home to help her with cleaning her bunny’s areas. Over this 2 year time span I had asked 3 times, 2 times over email and 1 time verball, to quit fostering bunnies because it was causing problems at home, with my relationship with my husband, and the hay was causing problems with my husband’s health, he is extremely allergic to timothy hay. Each time I had asked to quit there would always be another foster whose emergency would always come first, I would be asked to wait for that emergency to be resolved and then we would come back to this discussion, but we never did. Toward the end I was told that I was top of the list of people to get relieved and as soon as there was room I would be relieved but it never happened and instead of space being opened up I would see posts of more bunnies being rescued from the shelter. Finally I wrote a email to Lejla telling her that I would be giving my 2 week notice to quit fostering, I kept the email professional but firm. I had even wrote to thank her for all she does and hoped for this to not affect our friendship. Her response was not professional, not kind, not understanding, and hurtful. In the nearly 2 year time that I had been dealing with Lejla I had taken been yelled at and been told many times that I was doing things wrong, I have also been told by other members how she would talk about me and what was said would not be flattering or truthful. By the end of my time with BWF I had been told that the foster bunnies that I was returning would be sent to the shelter, in a effort to ensure that the bunnies don’t go to the shelter I had offered to return 4 bunnies that weekend and return the final 4 the following weekend but that email was never responded to. 1 week after I returned all my fosters I received a email asking me when I would be going back to brush the foster bunnies, not if I would do it but when I would do it.
I had also been told that I would be receiving my adoption paper work for the last bunny that I adopted but 2.5 months later I haven’t received that yet.
I am very disappointed in the way this organization is run and how the volunteers are treated is not right, especially when volunteers are looking to stop volunteering. I would not suggest getting involved with this organization, after being a part of this organization I have see too many stories similar to mine… =(

Bunny World Foundation is amazing! They truly care about every single rabbit; they go through great lengths to save bunnies from death row. I adopted my bunny Briley from them and I couldn’t be happier!
I LOVE the founder of BWF; she is an amazing woman. She is truly an inspiration to me; it takes a strong person to do what she does and to be doing it for 7+ years is so wonderful. She has sleepless nights caring for these sick/​injured rabbits. She puts the rabbits above herself!
She not only cares about rabbits, but other animals as well. I asked her if she knew any dog rescues because I found an injured dog. She immediately responded and CC’D me in an email. The dog was saved and the rescue paid his fees. Don’t believe what you hear, those people have nothing better to do with their time.

Bunny world does some good for the world, they seem to actually care about rabbits. But that’s about it. There is abuse, public shaming, ridicule, and manipulation going on against almost everyone who fosters for them. If you volunteer, be prepared to be guilted into doing more than your fair share and tricked into keeping fosters long after you let them know that you would like to return the rabbits.
When my wife gave notice that we no longer wanted to foster (the third time we let BWF know), we were public shamed, with the most vulgar, offensive, profane response I’ve ever seen. Keep in mind, we never agreed to foster at any point, only to babysit some other people’s rabbits, and we ended up fostering for over 1 ½ years. The only reason that we stopped is because we put our foot down and had enough. There were always excuses and promises that we would be taken care of, but it never happened.
If you want to adopt from BWF, and have no problems with rabbits, you should be fine. However, do not ever volunteer or foster for BWF.
Edit: I’m now being attacked because other people think it’s inappropriate to give a 1 star review. Please, do not allow this abuse or any personal attacks.
