🎈BWF MADE THE CUT and earned the "little" badge as TOP-RATED NON-PROFIT!

🎂 BWF is proud to celebrate the 16-year voyage, which began with the fierce struggle to bring to light illegal animal sales in the LA Fashion District (2008-2013). BWF rescued close to 20,000 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, and Southeast Area Animal Control Authority (SEAACA). BWF has also partnered with Pasadena Humane Society, Ramona Humane Society, Inland Valley Humane Society, Animal Services Center - City of Mission Viejo Animal Control, Orange County Animal Care, San Diego County, and many more. In 2023, BWF housed, provided medical care, promoted, found permanent and loving homes for more than 1500 spayed and neutered rabbits, and staged 60 adoption events and workshops.

💗 BWF is an ALL-Volunteer, nonprofit 501(c)3 animal welfare organization founded in 2008 in Los Angeles, California. Set up 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 intensive care, medication, supplies, and Spay/Neuter funds. BWF has 150 volunteers/fosters and rescues approximately 1,000-1500 abandoned and abused domestic rabbits annually.

📡 Regarding global social media outreach, BWF grew to be one of the world's largest rabbit rescues & leading education sources. With 400,000+ SM followers, BWF posts are shared by millions of bunny lovers worldwide.

🌹 BWF track record of effectiveness has led to meaningful victories for animals in city legislatures. BWF received recognition by The County of LA, The California State Assembly and The City of Santa Clarita. CBS featured BWF as one of the FIVE "Best Volunteer Opportunities for Animal Lovers in Los Angeles."

📺 BWF was featured multiple times in LA Times, Huffington Post, LA Business Journal, KABC, CBS, KTLA, FOX, and NBC Los Angeles & New York. BWF appeared on Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish TV Channels, Access Hollywood 🎥, and in multiple publications, i.e.. 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.
