MISSION AND PROGRAMS

Mission

House Rabbit Society, is a national, animal welfare organization based in Richmond, California. Our mission has two parts: Through our fostering program, volunteers rescue abandoned rabbits and find permanent adoptive homes; through education, we seek to reduce the number of unwanted rabbits -- and to improve bunnies'' lives -- by helping people better understand these often misunderstood companion animals. Since 1988, over 10,000 rabbits have been rescued through foster homes across the USA. We neuter/spay all incoming rabbits, obtain any necessary veterinary care, and attend to their social needs. There is no time limit on our rescued rabbit foster care.

Programs

HRS volunteers rescue rabbits whose time is up at their local humane societies or shelters. We rehabilitate the rabbits, spay and neuter them, and adopt them out into permanent indoor homes.

Additional Comments from the Organization

HRS has received national recognition for its work on behalf of rabbits. Although we receive no state or federal funding, we are dedicated to rabbit rescue and education.

Balance Sheet: Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2007

Note: The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot long survive, but the types of assets and liabilities also must be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
