Book’s for Bunnies
Books
for Bunnies is an event set up by Suzie over at The Bunny’s Review and coordinated with the help of Coral at Alchemy of Scrawl.
The premise is simple. Make a donation to help the bunnies and enter to win one of the fabulous books that have been so generously donated for this cause! Just go to Books for Bunnies and there you can follow the links to make your donation and enter the Rafflecopter.
These
two ladies have worked tirelessly in getting authors to donate books for this
event. Currently there are over 100
eBooks, along
with over 30 print books that have been donated. Some
of the print books are even signed by the authors! You can find a list of the books on offer here.
The
event is to help raise money for the House Rabbit Society. The House Rabbit Society or
HRS is a 501 non-profit organization to help raise awareness and to rescue
rabbits from animal shelters. Below is a
little about the background of the HRS.
House Rabbit Society Background
House
Rabbit Society
is a national, nonprofit animal welfare organization based in Richmond,
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.
In line with our
mission, we are against the exploitation of rabbits.
Since HRS was founded in 1988, over 25,000 rabbits have been
rescued through our foster homes across the United States. Many 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 all-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, primarily through
our web site, www.rabbit.org, and our
quarterly publication, House
Rabbit Journal.
Over the past 20
years, HRS has grown from 300 to more than 8,000
members, with local chapters and educators in over 30 states plus Canada,
Italy, Hong Kong, Australia and Singapore. Our web site, www.rabbit.org, is accessed over 100,000
times a day by people in dozens of countries around the world.

HRS at this link through Network
