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.
