Happy 3rd Birthday, Hug-a-Bunny!

Can you believe it's been 3 years since our very first adoption? On November 10th, 2006 our beautiful Lily joined her permanent home with her new mom Rian. That was our very first Hug-a-Bunny adoption and gave us hope that there were good things in store for us! Since that date just 3 years ago, we have made a lot of progress! After 3 years, we've had over 175 adoptions, which shows how hard we've been working! Many amazing rabbits have joined permanent, loving homes. We have helped to spay and neuter over 150 rabbits and have rescued an astounding amount of rabbits out of harm's way. For example, we took about 40 rabbits out of our local county shelter JUST in 2008! Combined with all of the personal surrenders, pulling from other shelters, and rabbits we've helped right off the streets, we've done a great deal!




With all of the success we've had so far, Frannie and I have many people to thank. First, we want to thank all of the adoptive homes who have opened up their hearts to our amazing Hug-a-Bunnies. It couldn't be done without your amazing support! We want to send a special thank you to all of our foster homes, who have been with us since the very beginning. As read in our post "Where are the Hug-a-Bunnies" you learned that without our foster parents, this mission could not work. This includes Tammie (and Donna), Denise, Lisa, Lorin, Loren, Judy, Maki, and the staff of Westwood Pets for all of your work and dedication to our mission. Thank you to anyone who has offered their home to foster one of our rabbits in the past- there are too many people to name! We simply couldn't do it without all of your help! THANK YOU from the Hug-a-Bunnies!

Frannie and I started Hug-a-Bunny on a mission to save the life of Lily and any others that we could. We never dreamed that 3 years down the road we would have made such an impact and would have become a 501(c)(3) organization. We feel that part of the reason that we've been so successful is our determination to make a difference in the lives of animals. We will continue saving lives for as long as we can, and we thank all of our supporters for joining us in our mission!

Most of all, thank you to all of the AMAZING adoptive homes who have offered a safe haven to our rescued rabbits. We would never be able to do what we do without amazing homes out there like you! From all 178 adopted Hug-a-Bunnies out there, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Now, go give your adopted Hug-a-Bunny a kiss and hug from us!

We look forward to great things in the year to come!

Love,
Jamie & Frannie
