Liberty is a gorgeous girl who came to House Rabbit Society from the San Jose Shelter. She can in with an eye injury that just needed a little time, love and eye drops to help the healing. Naturally curious, this girl loves to seek out new friends who can shower her with love and affection. For her, nothing is sweeter than a lazy afternoon filled with snuggles and ear rubs.
Liberty is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated against RHDV2 (vaccine needs to be administered annually). House Rabbit Society recommends all rabbits see a rabbit-savvy veterinarian once a year.
Submit an adoption application for Liberty at houserabbit.org. House Rabbit Society is located in Richmond, California, just north of San Francisco. Questions? Email foster@houserabbit.org and we’ll be happy to talk more with you!

Anubis has made every staff member and volunteer fall in love with him… Now it’s your turn! ❤️
Whether it’s (adorably) carrying a toy in his mouth, asking for belly rubs, or cuddling his person, this goofy guy never fails to make us smile.
However, after over 6 months in a shelter environment, Anubis isn’t quite himself anymore. He’s showing signs of kennel stress & needs a home to call his own. In order to make that happen, we need your help!
If you know someone looking for a goofy, affectionate best friend, tag them or share this post! You can also meet Anubis at our shelter or at berkeleyhumane Bark (and Meow) Around the Block this Saturday. ❤️

Save Shelter Animals
Hundreds of homeless dogs and cats get a second chance to meet their new families at this event. But for many, their journey to get here isn’t short or easy. Many need surgeries, medication, special food, time to heal, and gentle, loving care before they’re ready for adoption. You can make a life-saving donation to help animals like them get the chance of a lifetime.
