House Rabbit Society is a
national, nonprofit animal welfare organization based in Alameda, California. Our
mission has two parts: Through our fostering program, volunteers rescue
abandoned rabbits and find permanent adoptive homes for them; through
education, we seek to reduce the number of unwanted rabbits -- and to improve
bunnies' lives -- by helping people better understand these often
misunderstood companion animals.
Since HRS was founded in 1988, thousands of rabbits have been rescued through
our foster homes across the United
States. Most of these bunnies had run
out of time at animal shelters and were scheduled for euthanasia; others had
been deemed unadoptable because of age, health, or
disposition. Because there is no time limit on our rescued rabbits, HRS
foster parents are able to spend time getting to know each individual bunny
and can then match him or her with an appropriate home. We neuter/spay all
incoming rabbits, obtain any necessary veterinary care, and attend to their
social needs.
In caring for so many diverse bunnies, our volunteer organization has learned
a tremendous amount about their social, behavioral, and medical requirements.
By sharing the collected information these rabbits have taught us, we are
able to help other people improve their relationships with their rabbits. HRS
provides educational materials to veterinarians and humane societies and
helps individual rabbit people solve behavior and health problems, through
our web sites, quarterly publications, phone consultation and local
workshops.
