HRS Emergency Grant Recipients

by

Every year there are emergency rabbit rescue situations across the country involving 15 to 1,500 rabbits. In 2007, we started the Emergency Rescue Grant program.

All donations that specify “Emergency Rescue Fund” go toward these grants. We make targeted grants up to $1,000 to animal rescue organizations who are involved in a large rescue of 15 or more rabbits.

Funds can be used for spay/neuters and veterinary care, or to purchase cages, litterboxes, food, hay or toys.
