We are currently in need of someone to help with general cleaning duties around our Bunny Barn rabbit shelter. The person in this position plays an important role in the overall health of our sheltered rabbits by ensuring their building stays fresh and clean!
Specific duties include:
- Monthly:
- Vacuum walls, rafters, and any place where there are cobwebs once a month
- Clean under/behind refrigerators, washer; clean vents and filters
- Dust and wipe shelves, and everything on them, monthly, arranging everything in a neat manner
- Weekly:
- Clean the toilets in the Bunny Barn and the Shop
- Sweep and mop the Bunny Barn floors
This position requires a six-month commitment. Volunteers may determine their own schedules, but will be asked to choose times when there are fewer people working scheduled shifts in the Bunny Barn due to need for social distancing.
Orientation, training, and unlimited time to pet and connect with the bunnies will be provided. : )
COHRS is committed to everyone's safety during the pandemic. As such, all volunteers working in the Bunny Barn are required to wear face masks, adhere to social distancing requirements, and avoid coming to the shelter when they are not feeling well.

Mission Statement
Rocky Mountain House Rabbit Rescue is a non-profit, 501(c)(3), rescue and educational organization. We rescue, rehabilitate, and find loving forever homes for abandoned house rabbits. We also support local rabbit parents by providing education on these often misunderstood animals and their proper care, and offering expert support for any physical or behavioral challenges that may come up.
Description
Rocky Mountain House Rabbit Rescue (formerly Colorado House Rabbit Society) is licensed by the House-Rabbit Society International Headquarters. We are a 100% volunteer-drive organization, made up of a diverse group of over 200 bunny lovers.
Our shelter is home to around 80 rabbits at any given time, each of which has been rescued from dire circumstances. Once they arrive at our shelter, every bunny is given a thorough medical examination, and provided with whatever expert care is required to help them recover from physical and emotional wounds. Once they are neutered or spayed, restored to health, and litterbox trained, we begin the search for the perfect loving forever home for each bunny (due to their strong need for social connection, bunnies are only adopted out as pairs, or as singles to be paired with a bunny already in the home).
We believe that every-bunny deserves a second chance, and are therefore a no-kill shelter. Each bunny receives compassionate and loving care for as long as it takes for their new human to find them. Our concern for the bunnies also extends beyond the adoption - we provide education on proper rabbit care for all adopters, 24/7 expert advice on bunny health and behavior for rabbit parents, and educational programs for local community groups.
We are a diverse community with one thing in common - we are all committed to helping rabbits and the people who love them. We welcome anyone who is interested in joining our community in this important work!
