It's our 30th anniversary! Since its founding in 1996, Georgia House Rabbit Society has rescued more than 5,200 rabbits and successfully placed over 5,000 into loving homes.
What began as a small, foster-based effort has grown into one of the nation’s largest rabbit-only shelters. Today, GHRS cares for 105 rabbits, with 98 housed at its shelter, supported by a dedicated team of 185 active volunteers and currently serving approximately 1,400 families and individual adopters.
Thank you to everyone who made reaching this milestone possible!
We're 30!

SHELTER CLEAN UP DAY - JUNE 7
Our next shelter clean up day is Sunday, June 7th, 9am-1pm! We're hoping to focus on some outdoor work this time, including yard work, painting parking lines, and scrubbing litter boxes. If weather doesn't cooperate, we'll switch to indoor cleaning, like washing windows, cleaning blinds, and deep cleaning the pens. And of course, there will also be plenty of buns to hang out with when we are all done. We look forward to seeing you there!

SHOW THE WORLD YOU'RE A HOPTIMIST
What's a HOPTIMIST, you ask? A Hoptimist is a person who believes in the success of rabbit rescue. We're constantly taking in and helping more bunnies, but we're always hoptimistic that we ARE making a difference to each and every bun who comes through our doors and we WILL do everything we can to help them and those who come after them. Show the world you're a Hoptimist by purchasing one of our shirts. Proceeds are donated to our shelter!
