Are you working with a shelter, an independent rabbit rescue group, or perhaps
just found a bunny
running loose in your neighborhood? Here are some resources for you.
Rescuers with philosophies alligned
with ours may feel free to print out and redistribute any of our education materials. The ones below
will be of particular interest. All we ask is that you do not modify the documents. If you wish to provide documents
online at your website, please link to our files, don't copy them to your own website.
NATIONAL HRS RESCUE EMERGENCY FUND
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.
House Rabbit Society would like to help more, and to allow you to help more.
To that end, we have started a Rescue Emergency Fund. This
fund is kept in a separate bank account from HRS' general funds, and 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).
