Important notes
  • Affiliated with the University of Miami
  • Website is hosted on University of Miami pages and has not been substantially updated in years, so it is not a reliable guide to current activity. The organization itself is current: FL nonprofit registration active with a 2026 annual report filed, IRS exempt status in good standing, and an active Facebook presence.
  • Adoption listings are directed to general Adoptapet and Petfinder searches rather than an organization-specific page. Contact them directly to ask about rabbit availability.
