Foster Rabbits Need Your Help

August 23, 2011 2 Comments » General, Rescue

A rabbit foster mom for Rabbit Advocates asked if we would be willing to set up a fund to help with medical costs for foster parents who take on bunnies that no one else wants.

Foster parents are financially responsible for each bunny in their care, and depending on the medical needs, the cost can be quite expensive. Our hospital is able to offer veterinary care to these bunnies at a deep discount, but the bill has to be paid for at time of service.

With the recent downturn of the economy, many foster parents are having a hard time feeding and caring for themselves much less a bunny or two or three. Unfortunately, without the help of  fosters, many rabbits would have to be euthanized.

So, North Portland Veterinary Hospital set up “The Rabbit Advocate Donation Fund.” Donations are accepted for any amount to this special fund by contacting our office.  In addition, direct donations are always welcome through the Rabbit Advocates website.

Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
The Bunnies and Fosters for Rabbit Advocates
