As we move into the busy winter months (yay! Adoptions!) – our LMRR staff is getting an over-haul and we’ll be training dozens of new volunteers and move over to being open 6 days a week, rather than just by appointment. But with this upgraded scheduling and lots of public interaction, our staffers need a professional look! We’d love your opinion on our new volunteer staff shirts.
Okay, so those are the shirts. The front will have our LMRR Logo as well as “POO CREW”, and the back will say “STAFF” or “VOLUNTEER” – we haven’t decided yet. We need your opinion – so please drop by and vote in the poll:
Little Miracles Rabbit Rescue Inc, a south Jersey small animal shelter, dedicated to helping rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters and other small & furry animals is in need of volunteers. We received our 501(c)3 tax exempt status on July 14th, retroactive to November 11th, 2010 – so all donations made to the shelter are fully tax deductible. As we are moving over to new shelter management software, and re-vamping our book keeping system (from the stone age, a paper ledger, lol!) – we are also gearing up for our grand re-opening later this summer.
Newsletters are being mailed with invitations, and we are opening our organization to memberships: Members will have access to our new member’s only website, with blogs, photos, videos and more. Members will be able to vote and participate in special projects and activities, and be eligible for free drawings and raffles, gifts and more!
- VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Volunteers 10-16 with parent or guardian present (any family member over the age of 18) may volunteer one or more days per week, or as little as once a month. We will be holding a volunteer training class on FRIDAY AUGUST 5th at 6pm for JUNIOR volunteers. Please bring a friend!
Volunteer Positions Available:
- Animal Care Attendants
(2-3 hour shifts, as often as 3 days per week, or as little as once per month) – Schedule is very flexible. Animal care attendants are responsible for feeding, watering & giving hay & fresh produce to the animals, sanitizing cages & play areas, petting & socializing the animals, changing litter-pans, vacuuming and sweeping the living areas and other animal-care related tasks. No experience is necessary, we will happily train you.
- Online Crew:
We are currently seeking online volunteers who can meet at the rescue the first FRIDAY evening of every month at 6pm. We are looking to hire a volunteer to run our online blog, a volunteer to handle kennel organization & our petfinder account, as well as a photographer (no experience necessary). On FIRST FRIDAY, we will update kennel cards, organize and add any new animals to our online database, select a “pet of the month”. Volunteers must be 15 & up, and have some experience with computer use. They must have internet access at home, although much of the work can be done at the shelter. If you’re interested in joining our FIRST FRIDAY crew, please let me know ASAP so you can attend our first meeting, Friday August 5th from 6-8pm.

Volunteer Leader(s) Needed:
We are also currently seeking veterinary and vet tech students, or other professionals in the animal-care industry (dog groomers, those with experience volunteering at other animal shelters, or working in a pet store, pet supply store, kennel, training facility, vet hospital, boarding & grooming, etc.)
We are looking for a Volunteer Coordinator, who has approximately 20 hours a week to dedicate to assisting our shelter with coordination of our volunteer program. This person will be needed at the shelter for approximately 5-10 hours a week, as well as online and at home making phone calls.
- Follow Up Telephone Volunteer
We also need a Follow-Up Coordinator, who will follow-up with all of our adoptive families, checking on the animals who have gone home, referring those with questions to our hotline, and taking notes. This person must be comfortable on the phone. NO SOLICITING or TELEMARKETING will be done – this is purely contact with our adoptive families to help trouble-shoot, answer questions and keep our rescue aware of how rabbits who have been adopted are now doing in their new homes.
Foster Program Director
We’re looking for a Foster Home Director, who need to be available 2-4 hours per month, as well as a few hours a month for phone calls, monitoring our animals in foster care, keeping a binder organized of all the animals who are in foster care, and logging all loaned equipment to foster families. This person may do some foster outreach, helping to seek new foster homes, including Craig’s List and Petfinder postings, newspaper ads, etc at the cost of the rescue.
If you’re interested in any positions with our ALL VOLUNTEER non-profit group, we would be VERY grateful.
For all new volunteers, our first meeting will be FRIDAY AUGUST 5th at 4pm, Junior Volunteers will be asked to arrive at 6pm.

Easter each year is a BAD HARE DAY for rabbits all over the country – as people buy impulse pets for their small children, so many of these beautiful and beloved animals are quickly cast aside shortly after the holiday, or worse, suffer and languish banished to a back yard hutch or die young deaths at the hands of uneducated and unprepared owners.
THE OPEN HOUSE
This year – bring your family and friends to Little Miracles Rabbit Rescue over Easter weekend. Our open house will feature all of our small animal residents – nearly 100 beautiful bunnies, as well as rats, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas and more.

After many a long discussion with my big-headed bunny friend, we cleared up the matter that we simply can not call our bunny boarding facility “Hampton Inn”. Hampton doesn’t like it, but I guess sometimes you just can’t explain intelectual property laws to a rabbit.
So we’ve officially named our soon-to-be boarding facility “Hampton’s Bunnyhop Inn”. He wants everbun to know they are invited. With any purchase of a t-shirt or any items from our bunny store, you’ll get a coupon good for one free night of boarding!
Little Miracles Rabbit Rescue Inc offers bunny boarding (as well as boarding for other small pets) for your comfort and ease of mind while you are out of town, unavailable, or otherwise unable to have your bunnies at your home.
Boarding for “Other” Pets (Daily):
Rats (and other small rodents), Chinchillas (please provide your own dust bath), Hedgehogs, Guinea Pigs, Degus, Sugar Gliders, Ferrets, etc. $4/per pet/per day or $25/week. Please bring your pet in a suitable cage or contact us to be sure we have suitable temporary cages for your pet(s). Also, please bring your pets typical diet for the length of your travel. We do not always have pet food on hand for specific critters.
Spay/Neuter Boarding: Board your bunny before and after surgery. Ease your mind with an experienced staff watching your bunny and keeping you up-to-date while your bunny is brought “home” to a comfortable quiet and clean area where he or she can recover with plenty of fresh veggies/fruits to encourage speedy return to eating post-surgery. You can choose this option to have your pet spayed/neutered while you’re away (convenient!) or if you’re a nervous pet-parent who would feel better having the “experts” watch your bunny before and after surgery.
Your bunny will be spayed or neutered by Dr. Lori Duggan at the surgical facility in Willingboro. We’ll arrange all transport for pre and post surgery to/from the shelter. Please call us for arrangements. All costs are included – we’ll pay the doctor for her services including surgery, anesthesia, pain meds, etc. This requires 24 hour prior drop-off so that we can monitor your rabbit to be sure he/she is eating normally, is a healthy weight and shows no signs of illness. A waiver will be signed at the rescue to release your pet for surgery. A post-surgery guide will be sent home with you, and you will be contacted daily (via email, text or phone, your preference) on updates and recovery.
Females (Spay + 3 Days Boarding): $175
Males (Neuter + 2 Days Boarding): $145
Extra Days of Boarding Before/After Spay/Neuter: $6/day
(includes administering any necessary meds)
Included with Basic Boarding: Unlimited timothy hay, we use our litter/litter-pans, your food or ours (we use Purina Complete/Fibre3 Blend), fresh water in a bowl or bottle (your preference). Your bunny will receive fresh veggies daily or every other day, depending on your preferences and your bunny’s usual diet at home. Your bunny will be boarded in a 3’ x 5’ bunny condo, cleaned daily, and allowed play time every other day in a spacious play-run area.
