Our Mission: To provide rescued domestic rabbits a home for life.
About us
The Sanctuary is located in Simpsonville, SC on thirty wooded acres. The sanctuary can accommodate approximately 55 rabbits in outdoor natural environments called Rabbitats.
The rabbits who arrive at the Sanctuary are usually in poor condition. Many have suffered from abuse, malnutrition, neglect, isolation, and many other conditions too unpleasant to mention here. It was from this reality that RSI instituted its home for life policy and its virtual Adopt-A-Rabbit program.
We strive to educate the public in natural rabbit care, recognizing that they are a unique animal that is often misunderstood.
We provide a natural setting where a rabbit can be a rabbit. They are treated respectfully, with the understanding that they deserve to live their lives as nature intended them to.

Rabbitat Construction 101
Ever wonder what a rabbitat looks like on the inside or how the rabbits are kept safe? Have you wondered how the bunnies stay cool on hot summer days or warm during an Acrtic blast? Take a look at the construction photos to see how our rabbitats are built.

Rabbits are a prey animal. Therefore, their accommodations must offer complete protection from predators. The design of the rabbitat was created by Caroline Gilbert, founder of RSI. After working with rabbits for many years, she created a building that would offer the rabbits a natural environment while offering complete protection.
