🛑 UPDATE ON LA WILDFIRES & HEARTFELT THANK YOU‼️

📍It's been a difficult two weeks. We've been running on adrenalin & ☕coffee—rescuing during the day, transporting at night🚑, screening/meeting/educating new fosters at midnight, evenings, weekends, nonstop. Despite the challenges, our community has shown remarkable resilience. 1000s of emails 📨 & 100s of reviewed applications ☎️ later, our volunteer team met 73 fosters IN PERSON; 110 buns from evacuated folks were fostered out, bringing the total # of BWF fosters to 300‼️ We’re meeting MORE fosters on Jan 26 to help the remaining 40 buns! 💓🐇

📍 BWF is ‘notorious’ for pulling 50-80 rabbits/month from high-kill shelters, but THIS TIME, our focus was solely on those affected by the LA Wildfires, especially the Eaton Fire 🔥 since many of our adopters, fosters, & volunteers reside in Altadena & Pasadena. We also helped many who evacuated from Brentwood (Palisades fire). This focused effort has made a significant impact on the lives of these animals and their human companions. 💗

🏠Our most significant loss, however, was our adoption space/magical garden in Altadena, which was captured in a Newsweek interview. This space was not just a physical location for adoptions but a symbol of hope & a sanctuary for our rabbits. 🐞Our hostess/foster Kim, who had to evacuate with 6 buns & her diabetic cat (who died during the ordeal), vows to rebuild & host BWF again. 🦋For those who attended Altadena events in the past, please go to our FB page & check out links to the memories that are etched in our hearts forever! 🌹 Roses will bloom again; 🌳🌴 trees will rise from the ashes, 🐦🐿 wildlife will return with a ‘vengeance,’ & beauty will reign once again! So, mote it be! 🌺
