Popcorn & Binkies Rescue Haven

Why We Chose a Rescue Instead of a Petting Zoo

We’re proud to partner with Popcorn & Binkies Rescue Haven, a foster‑based organization dedicated to caring for rabbits and other small animals who need safe homes, medical support, and patient, loving fosters. Instead of hosting a petting zoo — which can be stressful for animals and often encourages impulse Easter adoptions — we chose a more thoughtful approach.

By welcoming a rescue, we’re creating an experience that:

• Puts animal wellbeing first The rescue team ensures the environment stays calm and comfortable for the bunnies attending.

• Teaches families what real rabbit care looks like Guests learn what rabbits eat, how they communicate, and what they need to thrive, knowledge that helps prevent rabbits from being adopted impulsively and later surrendered.

• Supports foster‑based rescue work Popcorn and Binkies relies on fosters to give rabbits and other small animals a safe place to land. Events like this help raise awareness for animals who are waiting for homes and the people who care for them.

Spotlighting Adoptable Animals & Inspiring New Fosters

One of the most meaningful parts of this event is the chance to shine a light on the rabbits and other small animals currently in the rescue’s care. Many of them are looking for loving adoptive homes or temporary foster families who can help them heal and grow.

By meeting the rescue team, learning about the animals’ stories, and seeing firsthand how gentle and sensitive rabbits truly are, families may discover that fostering is something they’d love to explore. Even if adoption isn’t the right fit, fostering can be a beautiful way to help an animal in need without a long‑term commitment.

Our hope is that Bunnies & Brunch not only brings joy to families, but also brings visibility to the incredible work Popcorn and Binkies does every day.
