Having dedicated nearly 20 years to rabbit rescue in the Bay Area, I’ve served as a foster home, specializing in the care of bunnies with medical needs, and as an adoption event volunteer and photographer. My lifelong passion for veterinary medicine has also led me to volunteer as a veterinary assistant at wellness and vaccine clinics, and as a surgical assistant at spay/neuter clinics for rabbits, guinea pigs, and cats.
Medical & Rescue Experience
- Serving as a surgical and RHDV vaccination assistant at House Rabbit Society (HRS) rabbit and guinea pig spay/neuter clinics, as well as a veterinary assistant at wellness and vaccine clinics for both rabbits and cats.
- Helped rabbits recover from GI stasis incidents, abdominal surgeries, abscesses, tooth surgeries, and eye surgeries.
- Currently volunteer with House Rabbit Society, Contra Costa Rabbit Rescue, and Napa Bunnies.
Our Resident Bunnies
Our home is shared with three rescued bunnies:
Eddie: A medical foster who never left, coming to us after requiring surgery for a bite wound.
Lolli: Our eldest at nine years old, found as a stray and rescued from the Antioch shelter.
Nico: Joined us as a medical foster bunny; after successfully treating a large facial abscess, he became a permanent member of our family.
Our Inspiration
Our inspiration is our first bunny DJ, adopted from the Santa Cruz shelter. He was a little all-black bunny, full of character and very smart. We learned so much about bunnies from him, and he introduced us to the world of rescue and rabbit veterinary medicine. His legacy lives on with the care we give your bunnies at DJ’s Den!
