ROGERETTE

 



⚠️Rogerette is Orange-Alerted (she faces euthanasia) at Harbor Shelter. (sound on) 🙏Please watch this short video -- this poor bunny has a serious malformation of her left front foot which needs attention from out Vet...

Rogerette is part of a bonded pair that we WILL NOT separate, so we need a merciful foster to take the two best friends in and provide TLC while we uncover what is going on with Rogerette's foot, and tend to both little girls.

Can you help us save this sweet soul? If you can find a spot in your home, and have the heart to help her, please email us at info@bunnyworldfoundation.org with subject line:
"SAVING ROGERETTE" -- We'll provide housing equipment.

🙏Please don't hesitate to take loving action for this bunny. This gentle girl deserves a chance. We can't save her without a foster and the funds for her medical care.

BWF is an all-volunteer, foster-based struggling rescue that has no facility. We need a new foster. *(Los Angeles or surrounding only).
We're standing by to hear from you.
Thank you,
~BWF Volunteers

FROM SEAACA HELLHOLE to HEAVEN ON EARTH...

 



👋☺️Rescue Update on NOLAN~~This beautiful white & gold treasure who was scheduled to be put to sleep last November at infamous SEAACA Shelter. We pulled him from SEAACA during one of the many times they put healthy bunnies on the kill list... but now -- 🥳NOLAN HAS BEEN ADOPTED!🎉*Hoppy Dance​*

💘Our wonderful adopter - British beauty, Grace and her darling son are seen here with their little bungirl, Daphne as she goes on her first date with handsome boy, Nolan during a BWF adoption event. Lower right is the happy couple sharing cozy love in their forever home following their bonding bunnymoon with us...

🖐Both bunnies are spayed/neutered, of course, and Nolan's adopted name is now Dominic -- aww, Dominic & Daphne, that has a nice ring. Some words from our lovely adopter (imagine a thick British accent):
❤️Dominic/Nolan is soo, so sweet. Daphne is quite a cow to him, but he doesn't seem to be bothered... and Daphne LOVES him, really…..~BWF adopter, Grace B.

👉In case you missed Nolan's story -- here's the rescue mission that included him: https://www.facebook.com/BunnyWorldFoundation/posts/pfbid02iAjwaLnHCaeJkhVFrc31mpwz6FUSQoVad7yBVtDssdS7iEXERDuRCbefT6oPb7WHl

👉Nolan while still at SEAACA high-kill shelter: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=447387214206164&set=pcb.447404564204429

We want to make you smile, and wish we had time to post every adoption success; it's literally impossible. But every now & then we have to make time to remind our friends here that joyful things are always happening in the background of this rescue, and we continually dedicate endless hours to screening, educating, approving and mentoring forever humans for our sweet bunnies...

We place bunnies with wonderful, approved adopters during each of our adoption events. In the first week of January 2023, we adopted-out 19 of our precious rescued bunnies. Imagine trying to keep up with adoption updates week after week... no way.

🙏But we hope you'll feel happy for Nolan -- a once unwanted, kill-listed boy sitting alone in a hell-hole shelter... and now he's in love, cherished, and will never want for anything for the rest of his life.

Entrusting others with our beloved bunnies is incredibly hard and we never stop worrying. It should never be underestimated how deeply we love them, and how far we go to ensure their life-long safety.

Thank you to our amazing adopters and fosters who live up to the bunnies' hopes and dreams; in our opinion -- they're the finest humans on this planet.

📌If you have a single bun, and are interested in finding him or her a friend, or interested in adding to your bunny family in order to make a sad bunny happy, please email us at info@bunnyworldfoundation.org with subject: "BWF ADOPTION" -- We're located in Los Angeles, CA.

Thank you so much for hanging in there with us as we handle the complexities that must precede rescue updates. Tomorrow is another day, and we hope to have news for you regarding bunnies of concern.
Much love,
~BWF Volunteers

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

With warm regards,

‼️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:
