We are looking for the perfect home for our lovely Esme rabbit. She is a 1.5 year old NZ White bunny formerly from a research facility who is currently residing at Liberty Adoption Centre on the Central Coast of NSW.

Esme has become a crowd favourite at the adoption centre, with everyone who meets her falling instantly in love. She is very affectionate and gentle and is really ready to settle down.

Esme would suit a home with an attentive owner who is happy to share their space with her as an indoor house rabbit. This would include a private space for Esme and the option to have free run time in the house.

Esme is desexed, vaccinated and uses a litter tray. She would prefer to be the only rabbit in the house.

If you'd like to meet Esme or submit an expression of interest to adopt her, please go to our website:

Thanks for your support xx 🐰💞

The littlest paws leave the biggest footprint. To my darling Paisley, the wisest and deepest thinking rattie I've ever known, I hope you're looking out the window from your hammock pondering the big questions. You gave my life meaning, thank you. Love always mama rat x 🐁🙏🏼🌈

These guys have been crowd favourites with our volunteers, it's easy to see why, theyre just curious and friendly guys. Have fun boys, we know you'll go well! xx 🐁🐁🐁💜🫶🏼

Today we’re taking a moment to remember a beloved member of the Liberty family, Princess the beautiful beagle who passed last week after a short illness.
It was our privilege to rehome Prinny at the home of her devoted mum Wendy in December 2021. Prinny had been in a research facility for some time and was very brave in making the step out into the world. Once she found her feet, she never looked back and shared five wonderful years as Wendy’s companion and friend.
About six months after Prinny was adopted, her best friend from the research facility, Trudy the beagle, was able to join her so they could live out their days together, bonded for life.
Our thoughts go out today to Wendy and Trudy in their time of loss. We're so grateful for all you did for Prinny. Thank you xx 💜🏡

Today is a great day for animals formerly used in research! We officially opened the Liberty Adoption Centre at Wyong this morning, and were honoured to have The Hon. David Harris MP attend the event, along with our beloved supporters, colleagues and friends. The establishment of the centre is a landmark moment for ex-research animals in Australia, funded by the NSW Government. The Liberty Adoption Centre provides a safe haven for rabbits, guinea pigs, rats and mice when they exit research facilities, a place where they can rest and relax before starting the next chapter of their lives as pets and companions. We'll post more highlights from our launch week over the next few days. In the meantime, have a listen to a great report this morning from ABC Radio about our work at the centre!

Can you help us with free cardboard boxes and newspapers? We need a steady supply for our new adoption centre at Wyong, for our animals from research.
We need any type of clean newspaper and rat sized boxes made from sturdy cardboard around 20-40cm long/wide.

Our critters would be very grateful!
