Acorn Rabbit Rescue is a small establishment which was set up in 2020. The rescue tries to cover the East Coast area including Bridlington, Filey and Scarborough, as well as inland towns such as Driffield and Beverley.
They recognised that locally there is no rescue organisation specifically for rabbits and that other rescues give priority to dogs and cats. Spotting a need for a dedicated rescue for rabbits in the area, a small team organised the rescue which has grown year upon year.
They take in rabbits that are in need, or are unwanted by their owner whatever the reason, and care for them until a new, ‘fur-ever’ home can be found.
Acorn Rabbit Rescue don't rehome rabbits to live alone and wants prospective owners to be aware that rabbits need plenty of space to live comfortable and happy lives. All of the rescue’s rabbits are neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before rehoming.
The rescue also ensures that prospective owners’ homes meet the Rabbit Welfare Association’s guidelines, visit here for more information.
Acorn Rabbit Rescue keep every animal in their care until the right loving home is found.

9. Butterscotch
Butterscotch is a male rabbit and is approximately 4-5 months old. He was found at a local leisure centre and was very thin and hungry. He has now been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped and will be available for rehoming from the end of October. Butterscotch needs a home with plenty of space and enrichment where he can also live with a neutered and vaccinated female rabbit. Photo: Acorn Rabbit Rescue
10. Archie
Archie is a 4-year-old male (approximately) and is a new arrival. He is a friendly rabbit who loves to explore, run, jump and play with his chew toys. He is litter-trained and has previously lived indoors. He is looking for a home where he can pair up with a neutered and vaccinated female rabbit. He will need to be brushed regularly.
