@Spotenya, have you tried using craigslist or similar sites? If there are no rabbits in shelters right now then my second option is looking online. Rabbits that people can't take care of usually have a smaller price, may come with the cage and toys and will probably end up in a shelter if no one else wants them.

I've tried looking through websites to see if any rabbits are up for adoption This would probably be my first time if I actually did own a rabbit but before that I have to consider a lot of things such as finances, bunny housing, bunny proofing, enrichment, nutrition, litter box training and so forth. Since I can be busy most of the times, I have to make sure I have the time to actually take care of another pet at home.

I really wanted a pet rabbit but they're pretty expensive. I was planning to go for adoption but there are no rabbits left.. so I have to wait for a few more months or maybe a year to see if there are any unwanted rabbits coming in. But I know Zeus my little boy gets along with most of the animals he sees, so it wouldn't be any problem with both a dog and a rabbit at home.

well, Easter is coming up. you may have some luck finding unwanted Easter bunnies then?

True, I noticed many people would buy rabbits as Easter decoration and soon dump them into shelters because they have no time to take care of them. This is insane really, i bet the shelters will soon filled up with unwanted rabbits because of this.

Ok, so today I brought my bunny out of his cage to exercise. He was hopping around and then out of nowhere he thumped his back leg on the ground. I just wanted to see what would happen if I slapped my hand on the floor as a reply, and guess what? He thumped again.
This went on back and forth between the two of us for about two minutes before he just stopped and wandered over to me and started curiously checking me out.
Just a funny little story I wanted to tell. c:

I have 2 rabbits! I've got a very large bunny Cecil. He's my baby boy and recently I got him a girlfriend. Her name is Sadie and she's a mini Rex. I'm not entirely sure what Cecil is but I've had for 3 years so he's about 5. Sadie just turned one last summer.

Meet my new tortoiseshell dutch!
She's 15 weeks old and from a very lovely breeder, her name is Banshee and is now bonded with Omen, my other new unidentified breed baby~
Still need to post a pic of Omen, but, just thought I'd share because she's 100% adorable
Will be getting another bun next week actually, so I'm very excited about that, I'm going to one of my favorite locally owned pet store's to pick out another lionhead or rex female

Hi guys! I'm currently looking after my friend's rabbit for 7 weeks now, and I'm thinking of maybe buying a bunny soon! My friend said our 2 rabbits can breed, but if I'm not mistaken, I think females can develop a cancer if not spayed? Am I correct? Is it okay to not spay a female rabbit? Please answer! Post/PM please

I really wouldn't recommend breeding, there are so many buns up for adoption out there that need homes, plus are you able to afford an emergency C-section, would you want to risk your baby possibly dying?
It can get very expensive, I highly would not recommend breeding for pretty much anyone out there besides actual breeders looking to better the species, and are breeding for a proper goal and not just because of "oh hey cute baby rabbits" or because you just want more buns.
Are you prepared to keep all of the babies if none get taken/sold, and you prepared to nurse and care for all the kits if the mother rejects them?

Also,
There is a risk of cancer in unspayed females and males, but spaying is completely your choice, there are benefits from it such as not risking possible cancer, them not being able to breed, I personally recommend it to anyone looking to just keep rabbits as pets rather than for breeding.

Hi! I agree, as it was not actually my choice saying that my [future rabbit] and her rabbit could breed, it was her. I think I would like to spay my [future rabbit], and maybe I could ask her (though her choice), to neuter her rabbit, I've heard they usually make good companions with a spayed and neutered female and male.
