Welcome!

Welcome to the Oregon Bunny Palooza, Brought to You by Rabbit Advocates!

Uhmm, . . . . so what is a “bunny palooza?”

The Oregon Bunny Palooza by, Rabbit Advocates, is a festival celebrating domestic pet rabbits and the people who love them. Oregon Bunny Palooza two rabbits on transparent background

  • Do you already have a pet rabbit, or considering getting one?
  • Would you like to meet adoptable rabbits?
  • Do you have questions about rabbit care and behavior?
  • Does your bunny need a companion?
  • Thinking about fostering a rabbit?
  • Does your bunny need a spa day?
  • Can’t find enough good quality hay and pellets for your rabbit?
  • And what about treats?
  • Did we mention there will be treats?!!!
  • Need more toys for your pet rabbit?   (Is that really a question?)
  • Can’t  get enough of rabbit collectibles, or anything rabbit?
  • Enjoy meeting new people, or you just need to pet a rabbit?

Enjoy a fun-filled day of activities, pet rabbit care education, vendors, a silent auction, raffle, adoptable rabbits, and much more!  It’s all about the bunnies!

Bunny Palooza 2022 is canceled due to the new COVID variants and the vaccination status of our community.   Let’s work together to beat COVID so we can get back to celebrating bunnies and their people.  Get your vaccination, boosters, and practice CDC recommendations.  We really miss seeing you and your bunnies.  Let’s make 2023 the year that Bunny Palooza comes back!

 

In the meantime here is some of the bunny fun from last year.  Enjoy!

About RA

Rabbit Advocates, Nonprofit Rabbit Rescue.

Our mission is to promote the welfare of domestic rabbits. 

Our foster care program places unwanted and abandoned, neglected and abused, domestic rabbits in loving forever homes.  We provide adoption assistance to local shelters and community education on the proper care of house rabbits.

We have also sponsored low-cost RHDV2 vaccine and microchipping clinics for Clark County Washington and the Portland Metropolitan areas.

All of these services are dependent upon funding from our generous Financial Donors, Hay Sales, Bunny Spas, Bunny Palooza, and the dedication and commitment of our Volunteers.

JEROMY COX

In 1992, Jeromy Cox self-published his first comic book, Zombie Love, using traditional hand drawn artwork alongside Photoshop 2.0. His artistic and computer skills lead him to join Image Comics, more specifically, Jim Lee’s Wildstorm Productions.  Developing a unique approach to color, Jeromy’s work on Leave It to Chance garnered him acclaim by both comic book fans and peers alike.  Jeromy’s work on Leave It To Chance lead to nominations for Eisner’s and Harvey awards.  His notoriety continued with work on Mage, Grendel, Rex Mundi and Batman, Superman, X-Factor and Amazing Spiderman. Today, Jeromy continues to work on X-Men, Batman and Justice League.  He has also launched his own horror comic book entitled  Vampyrates. Jeromy designed the Bunny Palooza logo and redesigned the RA Logo.


A big “thank you” to PetSmart and managers Jen and Amber for donating plush rabbits for our vendor scavenger hunt.  Each hour of the event, a select number of plush bunnies will be awarded to those who successfully complete the vendor scavenger hunt.  We couldn’t offer these cute bunnies without the generosity of PetSmart located at 7501 SW Dartmouth St., Tigard, OR 97223.
