Cobb's Rabbit Rescue Center to be Featured on National Reality Show
The Georgia House Rabbit Society is a volunteer based, nonprofit rabbit rescue organization serving the metro Atlanta area and beyond.
The Marietta-based Georgia House Rabbit Society’s (GHRS) Rabbit Center, Georgia’s only dedicated facility for rescued domestic house rabbits has been chosen by Animal House TV to be featured on one of their first six episodes.
Similar in concept to “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” this TV show works with communities to build new or renovated facilities for local animal shelters in need.
“Animal House is a reality show concept that will make a difference for thousands of animals and numerous communities” says Rebecca A. Rodriguez, Creator of Animal House.

The plans are for this show to be filmed in Marietta sometime in late fall of this year.
GHRS Chapter Managers Ronda Churchwell, Nancy McConville and Edie Sayeg all are excited about the television program opportunity: “This is like winning a bunny lottery, there just are no words to express our joy at being chosen for this show; it is a huge game changer for GHRS and the awareness it will bring to the needs of domestic house rabbits both locally and nationally!”

GHRS, located at 2280 Shallowford Road in Marietta, is a volunteer based, nonprofit rabbit rescue organization serving the metro Atlanta area and beyond. Since its formation in 1998, it has rescued over 2500 domesticated rabbits in need. In 2010 we opened the Rabbit Center in Marietta, the only rabbit specific shelter in Georgia and one of only a few like it in the country. The Rabbit Center serves multiple purposes: housing for rescued rabbits, onsite educational classes and tours, and services for adopters including boarding, grooming and quality rabbit supplies.
