πŸ›‘URGENT: 14 MITES-INFESTED BUNNIES IN SCORCHING HEAT NEED RESCUE

πŸ›‘URGENT: 14 MITES-INFESTED BUNNIES IN SCORCHING HEAT NEED RESCUE --- BWF IS LOOKING FOR FOSTERS/DONATIONS/SPONSORS.


😒We are angry, disgusted, and heartbroken! These rabbits are in direct sun and are being fed the ant-infested dry bread. This God-forsaken place is in LA County, and the rabbits are anguishing outdoors, suffering high temperatures and mites' infestation. After several litters, we were told that the males had been let go to be ravaged, dismembered, and feasted on by predators. However, some youngsters appear to be males. If they are not fixed ASAP, more babies will come, and tragedy will ensue. We'd sincerely appreciate any help you can offer this significant effort for these poor, blameless victims.

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

πŸŽ‚ 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.

πŸ’— 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.

πŸ“‘ 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."

πŸ“Ί 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 πŸŽ₯, 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. 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. πŸ“½

Please help Ritchie!

 πŸ’”πŸ˜”"Ritchie" (INFESTED WITH MAGGOTS CRAWLING FROM HIS MOUTH & RECTUM) was SCHEDULED TO BE KILLED TODAY at East Valley Shelter (LAAS), BUT we begged for an extension! We cannot help pull him out UNLESS a foster (experienced in special needs rabbits) comes forward and we get donations for his vet treatment. If you cannot help with either, please share this post in the hope that someone can help! 🐰πŸ₯€In the meantime, meet this terribly abused boy who was ADOPTED by a HORRID HUMAN BEING ON 11/17/2021 & brought back to the same shelter TODAY in an abhorrent condition. Some of the medical notes include:

πŸ“ – not eating for 24 hours.

πŸ“ – overgrown upper and lower incisors.

πŸ“ – maggots coming from the mouth; inflamed rectum & penile area; rectum area with maggot eggs and small, tiny maggots.

πŸ“ - matting on sacral caudal end.

🌺We've rescued numerous medical buns in the last couple of months without fundraising. Now, with Ritchie potentially coming into our care, a surge of new vet bills threatens to prevent further medical rescuing unless our balance due is reduced (see comments). So, we appeal to you, and we thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

πŸ•ŠPlease find it in your heart to help us rescue Ritchie. The reason tells us to let go, but we cannot let this sweet soul die without at least trying. Will you please use the "Donate" button or visit bunnyworldfoundation.org/donate

πŸ“ŒWe're on Venmo - search with "@bunnyworldfoundation"

πŸ“ŒIf on your personal PayPal account - search with our email: info@bunnyworldfoundation.org

πŸ“ŒIf your budget allows and you'd like to make a direct donation to Northwood Animal Hospital toward our vet bills, they will happily process call-in contributions of $100 or more. Ph: 949-559-1992.

πŸ“ŒFinally, please consider donating monthly, even if it's just a few dollars. No donation is too small. Bunnies need you! http://www.bunnyworldfoundation.org/donate/.

🌻Thank you so very much for caring. We hope you'll contribute mercifully to Ritchie's case and share him wherever permitted.

πŸ’•With ongoing gratitude,

~BWF Volunteers

Sweet Caramel Needs Your Help!

πŸ“ŒπŸ¬CARAMEL from S. LA Shelter is ONE of the 100+ buns we've rescued during the last few months. Sorry, they haven't seen the light of social media yet, but we've been BUSY "spring cleaning" & "rescue soul searching." Their stories are coming. Trust us, we haven't stopped… not for a single day! The adoption events in Altadena, Torrance, Los Feliz, & Hancock Park have been nothing but success, with 8+ adoptions almost every Sunday. Those who attend our events know…those who volunteer dozens of lifesaving transport a week know…and the fact that our vet bill hit $30K indicates that we still take 50+ rabbits to our vet MONTHLY!
πŸ’— NOW, BACK TO CARAMEL, who was BLUE ALERTED earlier this week and is looking for a foster & a sponsor. He got injured by his cage mate because LAAS ROUTINELY puts UN-NEUTERED MALES TOGETHER in the kennels, where they castrate each other, bite their noses, & cause thousands of dollars in abscess treatments. ☹
πŸ– "GENTLE" REMINDER: We don't have a facility or paid staff, so there's nothing casual/temporary about fostering for BWF. We are ALL volunteers; fosters are our staff. We don't have a plan for if/after you default as a foster. You are Caramel's plan. So, if you're serious, please email us at info@bunnyworldfoundation.org.
πŸ“Œ If you can't commit, please don't waste our time. We're tired of those who flake, lie, & breach our agreements. What PART OF "FOSTER-BASED," "ALL-VOLUNTEER," & "NO-FACILITY" do they not understand? We are constantly amazed. So, if you're one of them, we are the wrong rescue; CARAMEL is the wrong bunny for you to save… We ONLY want/need/embrace volunteers/fosters who RESPECT WRITTEN AGREEMENTS and have INTEGRITY & UNDERSTANDING of how FOSTER-BASED rescues work. This means that there's NO backup when we rescue buns from death row from public shelters (SEAACA, LAAS). YOU, the FOSTER, are the plan, the backup, & EVERYTHING! πŸ’— So, again, if you'd like to help this sweet boy, please email us!
🌻If you can't foster but want to donate to Caramel's medical boarding & recovery, please visit bunnyworldfoundation.org/donate and donate via Venmo or PayPal.
🌺Thank you kindly…and, as always, ONWARD! πŸ’—
~BWF
