Hop on Home Rabbit Sanctuary is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run organization focused on rabbit education, care, and adoption. The organization was founded by Shelby Wimet-Himelrick, President and CEO. The idea for a rabbit sanctuary came to Shelby through her position as a rabbit leader for the county 4-H club, because people were coming to her constantly with rabbits that needed new homes. After rehoming several rabbits, she decided a sanctuary would be the solution.  ​

Hop on Home's adoption center is located in the Wilton Mall, though many of our rabbits are sheltered with foster homes. This network of foster families is critical for the day-to-day housing and care of our rabbits. At any given time, we have many rabbits that are available for adoption. An adoption coordinator will work to match a rabbit's personality with a home that's sure to be a perfect fit.
