| We at the HRSS owe our
success to our volunteers,
and to the generosity of individual donors and corporate
sponsors who support our work.
We would immediately cease functioning without our
volunteers, who without pay and who despite other commitments,
put many hours into educational and awareness work.
Equally important are our donors who support us financially.
Because HRSS receives no government support or advertising
dollars, we count on your generosity to keep our programs
alive.
How
Your Donations are Used
Rabbit Rescue & Rehoming
The primary purpose of HRSS is to rescue and
foster homeless rabbits, which means that the largest
portion of membership contributions and other donations
goes to our fostering program.
On average, HRSS spends about $200 on every fostered
rabbit. Food and veterinary care comprise large amounts
of fostering expenses. Although our veterinarians are
generous with their discounts, our volume adds up. All
rabbits who come through our doors are spayed or neutered,
and any physical problems are treated.
HRSS does far more than gathering abandoned rabbits.
We also take the responsibility of finding a new home
for our rabbits. All our volunteers are reimbursed for
expenses incurred in rehoming rabbits. While the overhead
costs for running HRSS are low, we do still need to
purchase basic items like computer equipment, paper,
office supplies, and postage.
Education
Education is very important because it helps
reduce the number of abandoned rabbits who need to be
rescued, and it improves the quality of life for the
ones in permanent homes. The aim here is to educate
people sufficiently so that fewer rabbits will be abandoned,
and fewer will need to be rescued. Helping people understand
their rabbits' behaviour and solve problems that might
cause them to relinquish their rabbits is how education
saves lives. The second part of our education program
is to help our conscientious members, who cherish their
animals and want to keep them happy and healthy for
as many years as possible.
Our education program includes mailing printed educational
material to individuals and presenting slides, videos,
flipcharts and handouts to groups of people, especially
children (link to school talks). It also includes printing
and mailing our quarterly newsletter, and the maintenance
of this website.
