Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

Hop Along Hollow is committed to not killing any animals unless it is absolutely neccessary, and have not euthanized any animals while there is hope of a happy life or healing. Rabbits there have broken spines or other serious injuries, but are still alive and happy even though they have no hope of finding a home. THey are permanent residents who are taken care of with every other animal.

Hop Along Hollow hasn't taken in many lost rabbits because rabbits don't get lost as often as other animals. They deal mostly with surrendered or abused pets.

Hop Along Hollow works with Alice's Reloved Workshop to receive regular toys and beds, they have a network of volunteers, and have worked regularly with children who bring stuff to their buns and then get to spend some time with the rabbits in return. Hop Along Hollow is a great communicating shelter with the public.

Hop Along Hollow gets domestic rescues, so they don't release domestic rabbits, but they do neuter and spay all their bunnies.
