Books for Bunnies
Books for Bunnies is
an event set up by the blogger over at The Bunny’s
Review and
coordinated with the help of blogger Alchemy of
Scrawl.
These two ladies have
worked tirelessly in getting authors to donate eBooks for the event. Currently there are over 100 eBooks that
have been donated, along with over 30 print books. Some of the print books are even signed by
the author’s themselves.
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.
We are asking people
to donate money to the HRS at this link through Network for
Good. The person that makes a donation will
receive either an eBook or print book equal to the amount donated. There are books ranging in price from 99
cents to $27.00. There are several print
copies of the books that have been autographed by the author.
The person that
donates will receive an email thanking them for donating. That email needs to be forwarded to books4bunnys@bunnysreview.com. This
will show the amount that has been donated.
Please remember there is not any donation that is too small. Any amount will be greatly appreciated. The HRS will use the money to either help
pay for vet bills or help in finding a forever home for the hundreds of bunnies
in their care.
Please if possible
take a moment to donate a couple of dollars to the HRS you never know what bunny’s
life you might be saving.
