Emergency Rescue Grant

EMERGENCY RESCUE GRANT FOR ANIMAL RESCUE GROUPS AND SHELTERS

Every year we hear about a number of emergency rabbit rescue situations around the country that involve
anywhere from 50 to 1500 rabbits. Sometimes HRS can help when we have volunteers in the area who can
provide foster care, veterinary care, support for the rescuing shelters, and more. Other times we are
less able to help. We know our supporters would also like to be able to help with these cases, which
often involve so many rabbits, so much suffering and so few resources.

In order to help, we have started a Rescue Emergency Fund. All donations coming in that specify
"Rescue Emergency Fund" will go into that account. We will use those funds to make small,
targeted grants to animal rescue organizations who are involved in a large rescue. Funds can be used to
purchase cages, litterboxes, food, hay or toys, or can be used to fund spay/neuters and other veterinary
care. We will keep our members informed via this webpage of how many dollars have been raised, and what
rescue situations have been funded. To make a DONATION to this fund, be sure to include
"Rescue Emergency Fund" in the description field of the online donation form (donations
via snail mail are also gratefully accepted).
