Triangle Rabbits Outreach Center
In 2019, the Triangle Rabbits board of directors set a five year goal to launch an Outreach Center. Our vision was to create a space not only to save more rabbits, but also to host classes and workshops about rabbits and rabbit care, provide high quality supplies for rabbits, and serve as a gathering place for our rescue community. We are so excited to have achieved this milestone and would love to share our journey with everyone!
Hop Shop
Our Hop Shop opened in March 2024 and is open every Saturday morning. Shoppers can order online for pick-up or shop in person. The store is 100% volunteer run, with all proceeds supporting our foster program and the Outreach Center. Through the Hop Shop, we provide food, hay, and litter for foster rabbits with convenient local pick-up for foster families. It also serves as a central location for organizing and distributing supply donations from our generous supporters to our foster bunnies.
Our journey continues
We love the new Hop Shop, but we're not stopping there! Work continues on the Outreach Center - we still have a long way to go, and we know with our amazing volunteer team and generous community support we will get there! Volunteers have been giving their time to demo, clean, paint, sand, install wifi and security, decorate, organize, and the list goes on! We are beyond grateful for our volunteer community.
Looking ahead to the next five years, we have many aspirations for this space and hope to provide more services for our community including bunny day spa services, a pet food pantry to help keep animals in their homes during times of need, and workshops and classes to help people learn to take the best care of their companion rabbits. We also hope to house foster rabbits at the Center and grow our volunteer team to support their care.
Our first look at the space - lots of wallpaper, scary carpet, and old paint - but good bones!
Volunteers pull out old baseboards.
Saying goodbye to that scary carpet!
Lots of repairs were needed, including fixing the doors so they would close properly.
Every wall was prepped for a fresh coat of paint, including the very (very) green bathroom.
The walls were painted in a fresh cream color - much brighter!
Volunteers organized supplies for our foster bunnies. Foster homes will be able to pick up supplies from the Center.
Preparing the warehouse for fresh paint - so much sanding and priming!
We chose a fun new color for the main wall - appropriately called "Dream I Can Fly"!
Time to put together shelves for all the fun products!

So many treats! They look amazing on our new display wall.
The Hop Shop is open for business!

Support the Outreach Center
Since 2014, Triangle Rabbits has grown from a small community group to a dedicated organization that goes above and beyond to provide a safe haven for rabbits in need. In 2024 alone, over 50 rabbits were given a second chance at a happy and healthy life. The commitment of our volunteer team is inspiring and their impact on the community is immeasurable. With your generous support, Triangle Rabbits can look forward to 10 more years of care, love and compassion for companion rabbits in need.
