    Seven Seaweed! (Previously known as Poptart)
    Teagan T.

    Bunny Bunch are the best. The way they take in our small fur friends and take care of them until someone either takes them or until it's their time. Anyone who would do research for this knows they're non-profit and have very friendly staff who are always up to chat about the hops in your life. Their groomers are wonderful as well. So far I've adopted two bunnies from them and both have very feral with equal sweetness qualities. I love them all enough to get salmonella for the rest of my life, not that that's what I want. Caroline is pretty busy as she's the main contact for everything but she does a great job responding when questions arise. Not to mention how awesome it is all fur creatures come already spayed/neutered. Takes the worry out of all that madness. And vaccinated. The stories that come out of these bunnies are really what's worth taking care of them while you can. People who abandon bunnies in shopping carts and construction work site basements should be punched and made to wear a horse-pube hair sweater for the rest of their life.

    LOVE Bunny Bunch, with a million thanks to Victoria! I adopted my new best friend Atlas yesterday evening, and Victoria was so kind to set up an appointment after typical business hours to accommodate my time constraint. She introduced me to all of the bunnies available for adoption, helped me meet all of the buns who caught my eye, and answered any and all of my questions with patience and understanding. The adoption process was smooth, but let it be known that Bunny Bunch is very particular -- AS THEY SHOULD BE -- about who their adoptees may be and the homes that their bunnies will go to. They care so much about these bunnies who have lived difficult lives up until they came to Bunny Bunch, which is why they require pictures of your setup, exercise area, and supplies in the application. You will likely speak to Caroline through email and/or text in response to your application. They will also give you a call to go over your application and discuss any potential changes that you might need to make. They give constructive criticism with only the best intentions for their buns, which I hope that prospective adoptees can understand :) I had my last bunny for 11 wonderful years yet I still learned a few new things from Victoria! The boutique inside is also wonderful, with very fair prices on supplies and a great selection! Atlas is loving his toys and tunnel that we got for him, and the hay is a great price and great quality for a large quantity. Please support this small business/rescue (and do your wallet a favor) and buy your hay from them rather than big box stores! Thank you Bunny Bunch!

    This is the most amazing place I've ever seen in my life. A sanctuary for all the forgotten pets that people buy like they are toys since they are so little and give them away once bored . A sanctuary for critters. A beautiful clean and great smelling facility. For having so many bunnies piggies and chins this place smells only of clean hay. Each enclosure was properly maintained and all the staff were so kind and helpful. I was able to adopt a 2 year old chinchilla and the process was smooth and informative and I can tell they really care. Since I got all my supplies and cage there they were able to make sure the chinchilla was going somewhere that had what it needed and a good size cage. To the people getting mad when they can't take in more animals , this isn't some huge government run operation , it's a woman and volunteers helping out of the kindness of their heart with the space available to them. Please let's stop abandoning pets not being mad when a rescue is full. Like yuck why are so many people abandoning their critters !!!! This place deserves our support.

    Bunnybunch is an amazing rescue that truly cares about the bunnies . I've been taking my Peter Pan bunny here for years and I can always rely on them for exceptional service at the Cotton Inn and grooming. They also have wonderful products and hay for rabbits to enjoy and be taken care of. Caroline actually helped notice that my bunny had bladder sluge and we were able to give him the proper care before things progressed. I know my bunny loves it here and we all appreciate the services provided here. I always try to donate whenever I see a post needing care for the angel funds or etc. Check them out because your bunny chinchilla, or little pig will appreciate it!

    Muddy hay

    I usually get my hay from here, always the Bunny Bunch Blend. And I usually get the massive. My last purchase of the massive was terrible. The hay was muddy!

    This review is for the grooming services and curbside pickup services provided by bunny bunch! Brought in my bunny for a full groom (brushing, nail trim, scent glands cleaned) and they did a fantastic job! Remember to make an appointment before paying online! All COVID precautions are taken seriously which I very much appreciate. Caroline took care of Tofu for the grooming and I could not be happier with the service. Afterwards, Caroline provided me with some tips for grooming, in addition to care tips for Tofu's weepy eye. We also ordered a couple things for pickup and that process was also a breeze. I would 100% recommend them for their grooming and purchasing any small pet products!

    I'm so very grateful for Caroline and her vast knowledge of rabbit health and wellbeing. We recently had two phone consultations, and her wisdom and insight have been invaluable in helping us to get on the right track to treat stasis in our bunny. Thank you so much Caroline for your kindness, caring, and comprehensive approach to our bunny's recovery.

    I wanted my 100th review to be something special and close to my heart and this just seemed like the perfect time to write a review about a place we now visit at least a couple times of month. My wife initially heard about this place a few weeks after we adopted a set of lop ear black/white rabbits from a friend who had a litter. We knew almost nothing we realized about keeping rabbits in the house happy and healthy. That all changed the day we walked into the bunny bunch!! The people working there are so knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and passionate about rabbits (and other small furry critters). We learned everything about caring for our rabbits from diet, litter box training, grooming and even how to pick up and hold them properly! We were going there so much that we soon fell in love with a pair of rescue bunnies that we brought home as well to bring our lop ear count to 4! We got a great vet recommendation along with helpful tips to get one of our bunnies through a GI stasis illness, neutering and rebonding our black and whites after the hormones made them angry at each other. Now we just needed to get our 2 sets bonded together. Carolyn was our savior for that daunting task. 10 days at her home and we got our family of 4 back in one pen! Bunny bunch is our one stop for everything bunny related now. They even bunny sit when we go out of town. Thanks to the whole crew there!

    Best organization!!!! Love everything bunny!!! I adopted my first bunny here 20 years ago, and another bunny two years ago. I am so in love. Caroline is great. I regularly buy from bunny boutique- it's so cute and affordable!! I also use the bunny boarding whenever I'm out of town. It's amazing knowing she is in good hands when I'm gone. One time my bunny had stasis and they made sure she got vet care and gave her her meds while I was out of town. They really go above and beyond.

    I adopted a sweet chinchilla, Oliver, from the Bunny Bunch Rescue. Jennifer gave me many helpful care tips before I brought him home. The store has a huge variety of healthy snacks for chinchillas, as well as chew toys, and holiday-themed chews. They make fleece napping pouches, tunnels, and cage-liners; some of the profits go to helping the rescue care for their chinchillas, bunnies, and Guinea pigs. I'm grateful for the Bunny Bunch Rescue!

    Jennifer C.

    I love bunny bunch. Everyone there is so knowledgeable and helpful. They always have amazing things in the shop for my bunnies and I can always count on them. I took my bunnies there for bunny boarding and I had peace of mind the whole time I was out of town.

    Caroline you aren't mentioning the virus and quarantine before any rabbits can be rescued and the tables outside that your staff can't allow any rabbits inside due to this virus. That your business is NOT accepting any rescues and I was told to take to the Orange county,animal shelter, which is a certain death sentence. This is what I was told by your staff working yesterday afternoon when I pleaded for some other resources.

    The girls who run this place are awesome. We always board or rabbits with them . They always take good care of our spoiled wabbits Bonnie and Clyde. They have a good selection of toys and hay to keep your rabbits entertained and fed. They also have a home made snacks which my rabbits loves.

    See all

    Ask the Community - Bunny Bunch - Orange County

    I would like info on bunny bonding dates to find my boy bunny a girlfriend. Do they do that here? What's the process and cost?

    Hi there, yes we do bunny dates. To adopt first step is to fill out our adoption application at bunnybunch.org we will call you to tell you about our bunnies. We set up an appointment for you to bring your rabbit for bunny dates to find a friend.

    Do you board bunnies and if you do, how much do you charge?

    They do! Their current fees can be found on the website cottontailinn.com on their boarding application form.

    Are you guys taking in any bunnies? We got him a few months ago, but my mom and husband are allergic to the hay. I think he was born in either March or May of this year. I just want him to find a good home.

    You should try an organization called... Save Some Bunny. They also have an Instagram account. Good luck!

    Do you guys take in bunnies? If so do they have to be a certain age?

    We are not taking rabbits in.

    How much does boarding cost (specifically for a chinchilla)?

    Hi there, For a single chinchilla it’s $14 each date with us. Everything is included except treats.… 

    Do you have to set up an appointment for photo shoots?

    Never been there in my life, I have no idea!

    Do you watch over rabbits and Guinea pig for a couple days? We have an emergency trip coming up and were looking for a place for our rabbit and Guinea pig to stay! If so, how much per night for each of them?? Thank you! 😊

    You can text Carolyn at the above number. Yes, they do board rabbit, guinea pigs, hamsters and chinchillas. I believe the boarding fee is currently $15/day. Drop off day and pick up day count as one full day. While this seems expensive, consider it… 

    Can you come to just pet the bunnies? If so when and how much is it?

    You can, it should be fine. You just can't pick them up. And it's free and they are open everyday except Monday and Tuesday. But they are a shelter so they are expecting you to adopt a bunny, guinea pig, chinchilla, etc.

The fees are…read moreincredibly reasonable, especially considering that all the animals are fully checked out by their veterinarian at the Chino Hills clinic and are spayed/neutered already, which gave us great peace of mind. Unlike many rescues that are solely foster-based, PPR has a physical location. This is a huge advantage because you can actually visit, meet the dogs (and cats), and even use their play yard to see if you get along before committing to adoption. The facility is clean and the animals appear well-cared for. Every volunteer I met was friendly and helpful, without being pushy like I've encountered at some other shelters. I'm so grateful this rescue exists to help with the animal overpopulation problem. I highly encourage everyone to check them out (and other rescues/shelters in the area) and consider adoption first when searching for a new family member!

I was in tears and completely overwhelmed, and I was met with nothing but kindness, patience, and compassion. What really amazed me was watching how experienced and capable they were with the kittens. Within literally about ten minutes, she had all three babies fed full bottles, stimulated, comfortable, and peacefully back to sleep. Seeing how naturally and lovingly she cared for them immediately reassured me that I had brought them to the right place. They took what was an incredibly difficult and heartbreaking situation for me and made it so much easier. They even offered to send me updates and pictures of the kittens as they grow until they are eventually adopted, which means more to me than I can possibly explain. I am forever grateful to Love Fur Paws for taking these babies in, caring for them, and showing me so much compassion during such an emotional moment. Knowing that they are safe, fed, warm, and being cared for by people who clearly know exactly what they are doing has given me such peace of mind.

We adopted a Siamese kitten who had fleas at pickup, which was not disclosed beforehand. While picking fleas off him, we were told, "by the time I'm done with him he'll have no fleas," yet we found another flea as soon as we got home. The living conditions were also concerning. I personally saw roughly 12-13+ cats/kittens and 2 dogs in the apartment, a strong odor, and only about 1-2 litter boxes. We were told the dogs were contributing to the flea problem. Our kitten started vomiting the SAME DAY we adopted him. He later developed poor appetite, eye discharge, and significant dehydration. A veterinarian subsequently diagnosed him with feline herpesvirus, and we had to pay out of pocket for treatment and medication. I also repeatedly requested documentation of his vaccinations but have not been provided records verifying which vaccines he received. I understand rescue animals can get sick, but between the undisclosed fleas, conditions we personally observed, illness beginning immediately after adoption, veterinary expenses, lack of vaccination documentation, and eventually having my messages go unanswered, I cannot recommend this rescue based on my experience.

Extremely rude lady (Lady with the long black hair, tattoos, botched plastic surgery) even yells at the volunteers. It's almost like she doesn't want the dogs to get adopted. You'd think something would change after consistent bad reviews all saying the same thing. My experience in a nutshell: I went in to adopt a dog, this is my third time coming to see the same dog. The dog was going to be a family dog so I brought my parents with me to adopt her. My dad had concerns about her behavior since she could not focus on anything or stop moving at all. Always being on high alert swaying her head back and forth. (She is obviously either traumatized, has PTSD, has ADHD, or she is not all there. My parents and I were aware and okay with this, we just wanted to know what it was so we could properly care for her.) The lady told us that, "the dog just didn't like you"... It's a shame that this lady is still working here after years of different people with the same terrible experiences of hostile behavior and rude remarks. Clearly not caring for the animals well being and having an alternative agenda. As someone who loves deeply and cares for animals with a future in protecting animals I am extremely disappointed in the Humane society allowing this to continue. There was also an old couple wanting to adopt and she was resistant with them as well. Things need to change!

This was my family's first experience with pet adoption. Pet Match Rescue (PMR) made the experience smooth and organized, by having the adoptable pets online for review and applications available online so that you can prepare one in advance. You can look at their events list for an opportunity to meet the dog and talk with someone from the Pet Match organization. I love how Pet Match cares for its animals and focuses primarily on what is in the best interest in each of its dogs. They want to meet everyone in your family, talk with you and ensure there will be plenty of love and good compatibility between you and your future pet. If you want an organization where you just give them money and get a dog, no questions asked...this is not the place for you! They truly love their dogs and want them to have the best possible home. On the day of the event, we arrived at Petco and followed the Pet Match signs to visit Beverly, the beautiful little Yorkie/Pomeranian that we previously viewed on the website. We found a pen with some of the adoptable dogs in it, along with Phyllis, their foster mom. There we had an opportunity to visit with Beverly and chat with Phyllis about the dog. We found Phyllis to be a very friendly, caring foster mom for these dogs, with a very loving heart. She told us all about the little dog, including how she likes to play, her personality and eating habits. We were given an opportunity to take the dog for a short walk and get acquainted with our possible new companion. Along the walk our family spoke with Phyllis and shared what our home would be like for Beverly. After our brief walk and visit with Beverly, we decided that we would love for her to be a member of the family. We took our completed adoption papers to the table where we met Linda. We were a bit nervous when we talked with Linda, since we were anxiously hoping that we would be accepted as a match for Beverly. We talked about our home, told her a little about ourselves and even showed her pictures of our home. I thought bringing pictures of our home and the neighborhood where we would walk her, with lush greenbelts would help show Pet Match what it would be like for Beverly to live with us. The next morning, we received a call from Pet Match confirming that our family was matched with Beverly and that they would like to come with Beverly to visit our home. The next day, Linda brought Beverly to our home along with a big bag of toys and treats. Together we watched as Beverly played in our home and became comfortable in her new surroundings. Linda is very compassionate about their dogs and before we knew it, hours had gone by. She gave us lots of good advice on how to care for Beverly and showed us which food products were the best and which ones were not recommended. Linda talked to us about Beverly's feeding schedule and showed us all of the products, treats and coupons in the goodie bag. We enjoyed Linda's visit and appreciated all the advice that she provided about Beverly. She is an exceptional member of the Pet Match team and really goes the extra length to successfully adopt a pet. Beverly has been a wonderful addition to our family and has brought us much love and happiness. We couldn't be more pleased!

I submit an application and am told via email that we cannot see them unless we show up at a public viewing the following Sunday at the Petco in Newport Beach. It was Father's Day so we had to change our plans around to make it in time. They were showing them from noon to 3pm and we showed up at 2:30. The place was a mad-house. Totally mobbed with people from all over So Cal waiting around to get their 5 minutes in the play pen with the gorgeous puppies. There were literally over 100 people there during our stay. Our turn came and, after being handled all day, the puppies were all exhausted and taking naps. Still cute but it was way too difficult to request any one in particular. We needed to submit the names of our requested puppy(s) on the application, and then wait for a call. We figured there was no way we would "make the cut" but I did get a call on the following Tuesday. We were told that, based on our application (we listed that we had a kitten at home) we would best be matched with one named "Agate". We would need to agree to that one in particular but that was not one that we asked for. Based on Agate's personality, he would most likely have the best chance in a home with a kitten. We were thrilled to get any of the six and certainly welcomed their recommendation. They were going to stop by and do a home inspection later in the week. We did the recommended shopping for the right food, toys, playpen, etc. and awaited our meeting. We knew from experience that they wanted no dog door, locks on all of the side gates, a good perimeter fence, a nice yard with grass and someone home most of the day. Not great to lock up a puppy all day while mom and dad are working. Hence some of the bad reviews. Hey, I get it. When the puppies are cute and close to pure bread, these places can afford to be picky. Anyone can go to a shelter and pick up a chihuahua or pit bull and will cost next to nothing. A cute, almost pure bread, puppy will require different rules and a higher adoption fee. This is not a for-profit enterprise but they do charge more where they can and use the extra funds to help defray costs of running their program. What they do here is amazing. For example, we were ready to adopt Agate right away but we could not bring him home for two more weeks while he was battling an ear infection. The foster family, who was housing and raising all six puppies, was making sure he was strong and healthy before placement, and not looking to turn a quick buck. Our adoption fee was $625 (I think) which was a lot more than a dog from a pound and a lot less than a pure bread puppy from a breeder. Agate, now called Oliver, is a lovable healthy adorable little guy and were are lucky to have him. The folks here are all amazing, caring volunteers and they run a wonderful service.
