There are three main places to buy a pet rabbit from and there are advantages and disadvantages to all of them. Animal shelters are often a good choice and it is not always true that they have problems. Many people simply get rid of their rabbits because they either have too many babies after accidentally buying a male and a female, or they simply cannot cope or their children have become bored with them. It is generally a lot better to get an animal from an animal shelter rather than buying one from a pet shop. However, you can always buy a pet rabbit from a pet shop but they may not have been handled properly due to the amount of spare time that the staff have. They also may not know much about the individual rabbits whereas a breeder would. Breeders have a much better idea about their animals and they should be able to answer any questions you have.
So, overall it is better to buy your rabbit from a breeder or an animal shelter.
