About Us:
Rabbit Runaway Orphanage is a non-profit, volunteer-run animal rescue dedicated to the health, safety, and rehoming of abandoned and neglected domestic rabbits. Every bunny in our care receives love, medical attention, and the opportunity to find a forever home — but we can't do it without you.
The Role:
As a Volunteer Shelter Attendant, your main focus will be on cleaning and maintaining the indoor rabbit enclosures and ensuring the shelter environment remains clean, tidy and welcoming. You’ll also keep an eye on the general well-being of our bunnies and help create a calm, caring atmosphere they can thrive in.

- Comfortable with light lifting and bending
- Vigilant about cleanliness and following protocols
- Comfortable working both independently and as part of a small, dedicated team
Preferred Attributes:
- Experience with family pets or in an animal care environment

- Good communication skills and a positive attitude
Shift Availability:
Morning shifts only — Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.

This is a voluntary position, but the impact you'll have is priceless. By donating a few hours of your time, you’ll help give abandoned rabbits a clean, safe, and loving environment while they wait for their forever homes.
