Florida Rabbit Rescue Directory

14 rabbit rescue organizations in Florida.

Every rabbit has intrinsic worth regardless of breed, temperament, health, or age

Listings include mission statements (verbatim where possible), founding dates, tax-exempt status, general areas served, and board transparency details where available, all sourced from publicly available records. Many rescues may serve areas beyond what is listed, especially those with foster networks. Not every organization listed has confirmed 501(c)(3) status; each listing indicates what has been verified.

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.
