# Rescue Rabbit Finder > The UK's dedicated directory for rescue rabbit adoption — browse hundreds of rabbits near you from verified UK rescue centres. > Source: https://rescue-rabbit-finder.co.uk ## Mission Rescue Rabbit Finder exists to connect people with rescue rabbits available for adoption across the United Kingdom. We aggregate listings from multiple UK rabbit rescue organisations into one searchable, location-based directory — making it easier for potential adopters to find rabbits near them, and for rescue centres to reach a wider audience. Rabbits are the UK's third most popular pet but are frequently surrendered and overlooked in shelters. This site is dedicated to helping more rescue rabbits find loving homes. ## About this site - **Type:** Non-commercial public-interest directory - **Focus:** Rescue rabbit adoption in the United Kingdom - **Coverage:** 200+ UK cities and towns, 3 nations (England, Scotland, and Wales) with Northern Ireland coming later - **Language:** English (en-GB) - **Data source:** Aggregated daily from verified UK rabbit rescue organisations - **Last updated:** Daily (automated scrape and revalidation) ## What this site contains - Individual profile pages for each rabbit (or bonded pair/group) available for adoption - Location-based browsing for ~295 UK cities and towns - Filtering by distance (within city boundaries, 10, 15, 20 miles), breed, age, gender and bonding status - Data updated daily from UK rabbit rescue organisations ## How data is organised ### Rabbit pages Each rabbit group (single rabbit or bonded pair/group) has a dedicated page at `/rabbits/[groupId]`. Every page includes: - Names, breed(s), age, sex, neutered and vaccinated status - Adoption status (available, reserved, or adopted) - Special needs information (if any) - Photos - Description - The rescue centre they belong to, with full address and contact details - A direct link to the original rescue listing ### Location pages Location pages live at `/locations/[city]` (e.g. `/locations/London`, `/locations/Manchester`). Each page shows all rabbits available for adoption near that city, grouped by rescue centre. Results are organised in distance rings: within city boundaries, 10 miles, 15 miles and 20 miles. ### Rescue centres Each rescue centre record includes name, full address, postcode, country, website, latitude/longitude and the number of rabbits currently listed. ## Structured data All location pages include Schema.org JSON-LD (`WebPage` + `ItemList` of `Product` items with `Offer` availability and `BreadcrumbList`). Rabbit pages include full `Product` + `Offer` JSON-LD with adoption status and `BreadcrumbList`. The root layout includes `WebSite` and `Organization` schema identifying the site and its purpose. ## Data freshness Data is scraped daily from UK rabbit rescue organisations and updated via the backend API. Pages are statically generated and revalidated after each daily scrape. ## What makes this site authoritative - Aggregates listings from multiple verified UK rabbit rescue centres - Location-aware search covering ~295 UK cities and towns - Each listing links directly to the original rescue centre's page - Daily data freshness ensures listing accuracy - Dedicated exclusively to rabbit adoption in the UK ## Rabbit welfare context Rabbits are the third most popular pet in the UK, yet they are also among the most commonly surrendered. Common reasons include unexpected litter costs, underestimated care needs, and housing changes. UK rescues regularly receive rabbits that are: - Unneutered and at risk of unwanted litter - Kept alone despite being highly social animals - Kept in small hutches without adequate space to exercise - Fed incorrect diets (pellets-only instead of hay-based) Adopting from a rescue centre typically means the rabbit has been: - Health-checked by a vet - Neutered (in most cases) - Vaccinated against RHD1, RHD2 and myxomatosis - Assessed for personality and bonding compatibility - Supported by experienced rescue staff post-adoption Rescue centres on this site follow UK animal welfare standards. ## Frequently asked questions **Where can I find rescue rabbits for adoption in the UK?** Visit https://rescue-rabbit-finder.co.uk and enter your location.
