Save a Bunny

Thanks to Natalie for another great idea. Save a Bunny is a non-profit volunteer oriented animal rescue organization. They’re located in Mill Valley, California and provide a no-kill shelter and foster center.

They have donation opportunities as well as merchandise for sale, and most importantly, volunteer opportunities. For those living in and around Mill Valley, this is a great cause to devote some of your spare time to, as Natalie does (Natalie’s adopted 2 bunnies from here).

Save a Bunny was founded in 1999. Their mission is, in their own words:

We serve both the people and animals in the community through education, adoption, outreach, and rescue options. We believe that the humane and responsible treatment of animals reduces the number of unwanted and homeless animals and contributes to a more tolerant and compassionate society.

We believe that all companion rabbits are worthy of a safe, loving home regardless of breed purity, pedigree, or temperament. We incorporate this valuable message of acceptance and open-mindedness into our educational and adoption outreach events, training of shelter staff, community in-service programs, and through pet-assisted therapy with at-risk youth and senior citizens.

We encourage people to adopt spayed or neutered rabbits from shelters and rescue groups, such as SaveABunny, rather than purchasing an animal from a breeder or pet store. All our rabbits are spayed or neutered, and undergo medical and temperament evaluation before being placed up for adoption. We carefully screen potential adopters and require that all rabbits from SaveABunny live indoors as a treasured member of the family. We provide free, ongoing support to adopters, and we make a lifetime commitment to the safety and well-being of the rabbit.

Our adoption contract outlines terms for the proper care of a rabbit and specifies that the rabbit be returned to SaveABunny if the terms of the adoption contract are violated, or if the adopter can no longer care for the rabbit.

Let’s do what we can to help out this great organization. I mean honestly, who can resist a cute bunny?
