Who We Are
Rabbit Advocates is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose volunteers specialize in educating the
public about the care of domestic rabbits. We aim to place surrendered or abandoned
rabbits in loving homes where they will be welcomed as family members.
Formerly a part of the Oregon Humane Society, in 2002 we created a
group solely devoted to promoting the welfare of domestic rabbits.
The Rabbit Advocates operate an education and adoption website as well as a help line.
We hold rabbit adoption outreach events and
other activities at locations around the Portland Metro Area and hold monthly meetings at
Oregon Humane Society, located at 1067 NE Columbia Blvd., Portland, Oregon.
Mission Statement
Our purpose is to promote the welfare of domestic rabbits.
Our Philosophy
We believe that domestic rabbits should be treated as companion animals, which means meeting both
their physical and social needs. Our goal is to place rabbits in loving homes where they will
be welcomed as family members and where they will receive ongoing social contact, plenty of space
to play and exercise, proper food, proper shelter - preferably indoors - and medical care as
needed. To accomplish this, education of the public and ongoing education of our group are our
highest priorities.
We recognize that rabbit overpopulation is a serious problem and our volunteers do not breed
rabbits or other companion animals. We promote adoptions of homeless rabbits from foster homes,
shelters and rescue groups.
