"Love is in the Hare" - The 2016 Hare Ball benefiting The Georgia House Rabbit Society Expansion

We areTHE ONLY licensedrabbit specific rescue in the state of Georgia. There are only a HANDFUL OF RESCUES LIKE US IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES. We are helping to bring the struggle of the third most popular companion animal to the attention of thousands of concerned animal lovers all over the world. Our Facebook following is growing daily as the awareness of our organization’s importance grows. Because of our very dedicated and active followers, we are able to take in rabbits in the most dire of circumstances and cover continued housing and medical expenses for the approximately 150 rabbits in our care at any given time.

Sadly, last year alone, we had to turn away over 500 intake requests from owners who no longer wanted their rabbits simplybecause we lacked the space to take them in. 500. Where did they go? Suffering from the same overpopulation, irresponsible breeding, and “puppy-mill” environments, rabbits also suffer at the hands of poorly informed owners who give in to “impulse buys” at pet stores, not even knowing how to meet their new pet’s basic needs. Because of this, they are frequently “released into the wild” to fend for themselves. However, these are not wild animals and they are not "disposable pets"…these are domesticated, human-dependent animals that lack the ability to adjust to life on their own. Without intervention, they will live short, sad lives, leaving this world without ever knowing wh it's like tobe truly loved as part of a family.

Only withyour amazing supportcanwe receive the critical funds needed to grow our current House Rabbit Center and be able to save HUNDREDS ofmore lives annually. As of 2016, we are beyond ecstatic to report that since our inception in 1996, we havrescued over 300 abandoned, neglected, abused, and surrendered rabbits. In 2015 alone, approximately 300 rabbits were saved through our organization! But we want to do more…we want to save more…we want to have the chance to save HUNDREDS more of these special souls EVERY YEAR here in Georgia. In order for us to have the ability to save more bunnies, it comes down to the simple fact...we need MORE SPACE! We have to EXPAND! Plans are already underway but we desperately need your help now more than ever so that we can make this dream a reality! We absolutely cannot do it without you! Our “Love is in the Hare” t-shirt was created for this year’s Hare Ball but we hope to prove that love is in the HARE all year long! Weneed aHUGE turnout for our second annual Hare Ball on September 24, 2016! We want to see you there and show usthat "Love is in the Hare!"
