We Need Your Help!

We need our fans to help us out! If every one who reads this donates $1 a month, we'll be able to better cover monthly bunny and piggy expenses and be able to put some aside for unexpected/emergency veterinary care!

Click the donate button, then choose your dollar amount and be sure to select "Make this a monthly donation" before finalizing.

Monthly food/hay costs for both rabbits and guinea pigs averages around $1000 a month. We have averaged about 10 rabbit intakes a month (which is close to $350 to pay for spays/neuters, but doesn't cover any additional medical which there usually is) and 17 guinea pig intakes a month (neuter cost varies depending on the number of males we take in).

Medical cases can cost us anywhere from $100 to $1000 depending on the care needed. We typically prioritize rabbits and guinea pigs with medical issues, and we generally post fundraisers when we do, but we would like to be able to more comfortably cover that without having to rely on emergency fundraising.

If we are able to achieve close to 2,500 $1 donors a month, we'll be able to cover monthly costs, and the hope is we'll be able to put some aside for medical cases and the occasional community outreach case like we used to do much more often in previous years.

Every penny donated goes towards the pets in our program. We are a non-profit, 501c3 organization. We are 100% volunteer run, which means that our volunteers/board members are not paid.

Magic Happens Rescue was established in 2004 and veterinary medicine has advanced significantly (and costs have increased) even in just those 16 years! By helping us be able to count on a set amount in our account each month, that will help us be able to take better advantage of this technology.

Help us help more bunnies like:

The following are cases from 2020 alone, nearly every month we have had a significant medical case, sometimes two or three! These are bunnies that we are either currently treating or successfully treated earlier in the year. These are not all of our major medical cases, but they are a good majority.

Precious came to us after being given to a good samaritan who realized she/he needed veterinary care and contacted us. Precious we estimate to be very young, only about 4-5 weeks old, and he had a large abscess from a cat attacking him. After cleaning out the abscess he went to foster care to keep an eye on the abscess until he was old enough to be neutered. Fortunately when he was old enough to be neutered we were able to remove the abscess completely! He was adopted and bonded with one of our other adoptables, Edgar.


Sherlock came to us early October from St. Tammany Parish Animal Shelter. Due to the snot/scabbing/infection near his nose and genitals we are suspecting he may have syphilis so he is currently undergoing treatment at the vet and being quarantined for that. He also had a mild case of ear mites which has since cleared.

Mycroft also came to us early October from St. Tammany Parish Animal Shelter, he had severely overgrown/misaligned incisors and peg teeth that we had removed whenever he underwent his neuter. He is feeling much better and able to enjoy food much more easily now! He is available for adoption.

Will arrived underweight, with a matted bottom, and also had very overgrown incisors. He had his incisors removed when he underwent his neuter. He recovered quickly and was adopted about a month later by one of our volunteers!


Sonic came to us in June, she had been a stray in Lafreniere Park in New Orleans. The finder realized that she had a major infection/growth on her genitals which ended up being vaginal hyperplasia. What that is, is essentially too much tissue, the cells over-proliferated and can be the first stage of a tumor. Our vet was able to reduce it and spayed her. The hope is that because she was spayed, this will reduce hormones and prevent it from growing in size again. She also had ear mites as well as hookworms. Since the growth didn't return she was cleared for adoption about a month later and was adopted in September!

Harvey was a severely underweight, lethargic stray that came to us in April. His former owner released him and a friend in their neighborhood. Harvey's friend unfortunately didn't make it, and a good samaritan contacted us about Harvey. He had parasites which were part of the reason for his being underweight, we're also not sure how long he was surviving in the neighborhood before he came to us. He fortunately recovered in about 2 months and was adopted in July!

Cody was one of eight rabbits that we took in from Tangi Humane Society in February. He was the worst off of the bunch, besides ear mites he also had major urine scalding/staining, underweight, and runny eyes. The rest of his friends, who apparently weren't there as long as he was, had ear mites, were underweight, and some had bite wounds from being housed together. Cody, after various antibiotic drops and xrays, it was determined that he did have elongated toothroots that cause his eyes to run occasionally. His eye runny-ness has dramatically decreased since his arrival and he went out for an adoption 'trial run' in October which has been going well so far!


Obi Bun Kenobi was one of our first medical cases of 2020. He was found as a stray in January, emaciated, urine stained/matted, holding his leg oddly, and he also had a severe case of ear mites. Fortunately he did not have any broken limbs but he did have parasites. It took him about 2 months to recover to the point that he was healthy enough for us to neuter, and he was then adopted later in the summer!

All of these bunnies and many more we have been able to help thanks to donations! Every penny helps, and just $1 a month will help us continue to be able to care for rabbits in need here in Southeast Louisiana!

Amazon Wishlist

Browse our Amazon wishlist and donate an item or two. While we accept food donations, we don't ask for them regularly as we are able to purchase hay & foods in bulk directly from Oxbow through their Rescue Rewards program for a much cheaper rate than it can be purchased by the public. We'd rather see your donations go further!


Amazon Smile

Select "Magic Happens Rabbit Rescue" to be your charity when you shop with smile.amazon.com and we'll receive a donation from Amazon!


Sponsor a Rabbit's Snip or Spay

All rabbits are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. Guinea pig boys have a better chance at getting adopted out with a friend if they are neutered. Sponsoring a spay or neuter helps adopting families by keeping adoption fees low, and it helps the rescue by increasing adoptions as well! By keeping adoption fees low, it also makes it more attractive for new pet owners to adopt a mature spayed/neutered rabbit or guinea pig rather than buying a baby and possibly not getting it altered later, or worse, surrendering it after puberty.

About Us

Magic Happens Rabbit Rescue's primary mission is to take in rabbits that need new homes, have them spayed or neutered, and find them new homes. We are a 501c3 approved, no-kill rescue; we will keep a rabbit as long as we have to until it finds a new home, whether it is 5 days or 5 years.
