Just a few hours left to help...

👋😊We're mere hours from 2023, and what a whopper of year 2022 has been! To help us clear a path for further rescuing of sick and injured sweet bunnies, please consider a tax-deductible gift to Bunny World Foundation before the close of this calendar year tonight at 11:59pm...🎉

❤️‍🩹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!

3. EDUCATION & MEDIA ATTENTION
In 2022 BWF was featured on Chinese and Spanish TV Channels, Access Hollywood, and in multiple publications. 'COVID bunny rabbits' returned, overwhelming rescue groups and some shelters. Rescue organizations are inundated with calls from people going back to work who return their pet bunnies BY Stephen Scauzillo was picked up by the following: Los Angeles Daily News, The Press-Enterprise, Orange County Register, Long Beach Press-Telegram, Pasadena Star News, Whittier Daily News, Redland Daily Facts, San Gabriel Valley Tribune, San Bernardino Sun, and Torrance Daily Breeze. http://www.bunnyworldfoundation.org/home-page/2022/8/8/bwf-in-the-news.html

In the past, BWF was featured multiple times in the LA Times, Huffington Post, LA Business Journal, KABC News, NBC's EIGHT-piece Investigation by Ana Garcia Team, Pawculture, MyNewsLA.com, MalibuPatch, Westsidetoday.com, NBC4, ABC7 FABlife episode "Bunnies & Tragedy of Easter," "The Show & Tell" with Carolina Elliott, and "Vegans in Music." BWF spoke on KSWD/100.3FM TheSound,89.3 KPCC, and 102.7 KIIS FM/570 KLAC AM/98.7 KYSR FM. Santee Alley Baby Bunnies *WON* the Genesis Award at the Humane Society of the United States and the Emmy Award at the 65th LA Area Emmy Awards Nominations & Winners. CBS featured BWF as one of the FIVE "Best VolunteerOpportunities for Animal Lovers in Los Angeles."

Thank you from the bottom of our bunny-loving hearts for your support, dedication, and gifts! <3

‼️PLEASE HELP US SAVE THESE *ORANGE ALERTED* SHELTER RABBITS (euthanize unless soon rescued)

‼️PLEASE HELP US SAVE THESE *ORANGE ALERTED​​* SHELTER RABBITS (euthanize unless soon rescued)​​:

Paisley broke his leg AT the shelter, and Max & Joe are very sick -- all will die without our intervention.

Our Vet in Irvine agreed to take them all in right away, but we need a commitment from fosters willing to care for them until adopted.

Bunny World Foundation is an ALL-VOLUNTEER, FOSTER-BASED rescue with no facility -- so, saving bunny lives is only possible if new foster homes are regularly added to our foster system.

If you have the heart to foster to save a life, please email us at info@bunnyworldfoundation.org with subject line: "FOSTERING AN ORANGE ALERTED SHELER BOY"

📌Los Angeles and surrounding foster hopefuls only. Is anyone in L.A. able to help? This is a RACE AGAINST TIME!

If you'd like to help with these boys' medical expenses and our other hospitalized bunnies, that would be truly appreciated, as our Vet bills are sky-high as seen in this image.

We're desperate to pay down our massive Vet balance and start the new year with room to help a lot more rabbits suffering medical emergencies. Any amount of support is amazing:

HOPPY HOLIDAYS! Look at these sweet, innocent faces that melt our hearts...

We want to thank you so much for your kind words and actions throughout the year, and we hope this was happy day for you. So many of you are very far away, but you connect with our little bunnies and express your concern and love for them in such special ways.

We're all very moved that so many take the time to comment on the posts and share your thoughts, feelings, experiences, pictures of your own bunnies, and personal details about your loves and losses.

Many of you have helped our sick and injured bunnies via donation in memory of a bunny or human you love who is no longer with us. We can't put into words how deeply honored we are by those gestures. And you show others that these precious beings are not just cute... they matter as individuals and deserve respect.

We're so proud of the diversity of languages found on this page expressing love and concern for the bunnies. Our friends here span the globe, and that's amazing to imagine that someone on the other side of the planet is reaching out to our bunnies.

Rescue is hard. But there are so many things that shed warm light over the dark days. So many of you are part of that light, and we're beyond grateful.

We hope you enjoy our 2022 holiday album. Our bunderful member, Janet M. has a love of photographing our beloved rescued buns, and during a recent adoption event, Janet captured these precious images of some of our little ones in a merry setting she created.

We thank you with all our hearts for being on the side of the bunnies, and we'll keep working our hardest for the little ones we love sooo much.
