| Asheville Rabbit Weirdos | 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.

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.
