If you go to www.Arba.net there should be a listing of near-by breeders

ADOPT!! i got my rabbit from a breeder because i thought buying a rabbit for $40 was better than adopting for $65- WRONG. i love my rabbit, but my heart wishes that she was a rescue, which is odd that i got her from a breeder because i am very pro adoption and rescuing. when she matured, she got "weird" and peed every where and would always act weird even if i changed her water or gave her food. so i spayed her (which was over $400) and this is why you should adopt. it is cheaper, your heart feel fuller, and you save 2 lives; the rabbit you adopt and the one that will take its place

I didn't adopt from a shelter or rescue. Nothing against that, what folks do there is admirable, but I have never added to the overcrowding problem and I hate feeling guilted to go there. The buns I wanted were Flemish Giants, not the usual type found in a shelter, so I went through ARBA and truly valued my experience. For one I know the genetic history of my rabbits for generations so little will come as a surprise. I have the ear of the breeder who gives me advice or just to talk to and share rabbit stories with. And lastly, though my first point covered this in a way, I got some beautiful and healthy rabbits. Yes I did have to cover my own neuter/spay costs but I got the rabbits I wanted and every time I go to the Vet get told how excellent a condition their in.

well, if knowing the genetic history isn't important (like i think), i still say to adopt.
(let me vent a little, no offense)
i am frustrated when people think that shelter animals are "broken", old, or have behavioral problems. ok, some might, but the majority of them are great behavior wise and just as great as any other other place you could get one. adopting an older pet is a good thing to do. what is sadder that adopting an older pet and having it pass away a few months/year after from old age? that animal dying in a shelter and never getting a forever home. animals in rescues are healthy. they get vet checked and some animals (like birds) are also quarantined to ensure health. shelters are where owners (who are uneducated or don't include family pets into a new living situation) leave their pets, not where pets got to be locked up and become unloved
