❤️‍🩹Every gift makes a difference, so please chip in if you can! Every penny collected today will go directly toward our current Vet Bill shown here. This amount was incurred over November and December alone! Remember -- we rescue 50 to 60 at risk rabbits EVERY month, and each is seen by our Vet for everything from exams & spay/neuter to extensive emergency surgeries of all sorts. For 14 years, our focus has been to pull the medically urgent bunnies who would otherwise be euthanized.

Northwood Animal Hospital dedicates EVERY WEDNESDAY to BWF rabbits. We volunteers care and work around-the-clock to help them, but we can only do so with your help! We currently have 300 bunnies in our foster care!🐇💕

BWF MISSION AND HISTORY:
Bunny World Foundation (BWF) is an ALL-Volunteer, Foster-Based Non-Profit 501(c)3 animal welfare organization founded in 2008 in Los Angeles, CA, formed to promote (Shelter) Equity and Equality for Rabbits, BWF's mission is to combat animal cruelty, illegal animal sales, exploitation, and neglect of all animals, through rescue efforts, public education, investigations, legislation, events, and media attention. In addition, BWF works to reduce rabbit overpopulation and establish rabbits as companion animals that deserve the same individual rights, level of care, and opportunity for longevity as cats and dogs that live as human companions. BWF manages a complex Foster & Adoption Program that requires constant strengthening and expansion to accommodate new rescues and provide for their intensive care, medication, supplies, and Spay/Neuter funds. BWF has 350 volunteers/fosters and rescues 1000-1500 abandoned and abused domestic rabbits annually.

TOP THREE ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2022:
1. BWF is proud to celebrate the 14-year voyage, which began with the fierce struggle to bring to light illegal animal sales in the LA Fashion District (2008-2013). As a result, BWF rescued over 14,000 rabbits in the City of LA, ranging from un-weaned baby bunnies from Santee Alley to adult bunnies from the over-inundated city and county shelters. In the past year alone, BWF took in over 1500 rabbits, including "Red," "Blue," and "Orange" alert rabbits from the six LA city shelters, Southeast Area Animal Control Authority (SEAACA), Pasadena Humane Society, Ramona Humane Society, and Animal Services Center - City of Mission Viejo Animal Control. In 2022, BWF housed, provided medical care, promoted, and found permanent and loving homes for more than 1500 spayed and neutered rabbits; In 2022, BWF staged 60 adoption events and workshops. Regarding global social media outreach, BWF grew to be the world's largest rabbit rescue & education source. With 500,000+ followers, BWF posts are shared by millions of bunny lovers worldwide.

2. RESCUE EFFORTS, MAR VISTA HOARDING SITUATION & BWF VET DAY
In the Summer of 2022, BWF rescued over 300 rabbits from the Mar Vista Hoarding Situation. Following weeks of trapping of Mar Vista bunnies left to perish in one of the most horrific hoarding situations Los Angeles has ever seen, BWF worked diligently to rescue all ORANGE, BLUE, and RED-alerted rabbits from the six LAAS shelters. All the rabbits were taken to the vet, chipped, spayed/neutered, and fostered out. Some are already enjoying their permanent homes. Once again, BWF volunteers repeated their heroic efforts, without which 300 domestic bunnies would have perished. BWF's extraordinary rescue and rehabilitation work got featured in various news articles. http://www.bunnyworldfoundation.org/home-page/2022/8/8/bwf-in-the-news.html

Due to the excessive number of medical cases, BWF Primary Vet agreed to designate a BWF Vet day where the hospital sees ONLY BWF rabbits. As a result, BWF Caravan transports 10 – 12 rabbits to Northwood Animal Hospital every Wednesday. Exceptional cases that require more complex diagnostics, CT Scans, ophthalmology, and neurological treatments, are taken to VCA West Hospital. As a result, 50-60 rabbits are treated each month!
