Special Needs Older Rabbits Sanctuary

Special Needs Older Rabbits Sanctuary (SNORS), registered charity number 1163102, was formed to help rescues with special needs or older rabbits. Over 67,000 rabbits pass through UK rescues each year, with many of them having health issues. While rescues work tirelessly to rehabilitate and re-home these rabbits, some have problems that will remain with them for life. Reputable rescues have a ‘no kill’ policy and many find themselves having more and more permanent residents because their needs are too costly, and complex for them to be adopted to an inexperienced home. Sadly these rabbits are often left in rescue until the end of their lives.

SNORS was founded in April 2015 to work in partnership with rescues, to offer rescue rabbits with complex health needs a specialist and loving permanent home. This partnership benefits the rescue by freeing up space to re-home many more rabbits, as well as providing relief from the financial burden that caring for rabbits with long term health conditions bring. SNORS works in partnership with responsible rescues that neuter and vaccinate all rabbits, and home check to minimum RSPCA standards.

Here at SNORS we offer an end of life loving home for special needs or older rabbits. Rabbits get love, care, and bunny companionship in a domestic environment. Our dedicated founders have over 20 years rabbit experience and are supported by a knowledgeable and enthusiastic team of vets. All our rabbits are free range with their own spacious indoor accommodation and access to an individual large outdoor run. We believe in providing our rabbits with an abundance of quality hay, limited pellets, and home grown herbs and vegetables. Environmental enrichment is a must and all our rabbits have toys, tubes, digging boxes, and hidey holes both indoors and outdoors. We want to make all our rabbits comfortable, happy, pain free and loved for the rest of their days.

We only re-home rabbits from reputable rescues that neuter, vaccinate and home check to minimum RSPCA standards and not from the general public. This is because we feel to free up a permanent rescue space in a reputable rescue will save countless lives.
