Why? - Why a charity for rabbits? While there are many groups who
shelter and care for dogs and cats the bunny gets forgotten. VRRA is the
only registered rabbit charity this side of Ontario. The need is great.
Rabbits are largely misunderstood and neglected, most of the time due
to ignorance rather than intention.
Who? - VRRA is run by a group of ordinary citizens who care about
the plight of domestic rabbits. All are volunteers, most of us with rabbits
of our own, full time jobs and busy lives.
How? - Good question. VRRA is working hard to get memberships and
donations so that we can carry on our work. We work as volunteers with
local shelters to do our best to educate people about rabbit care, health
and behaviour. We take on rabbits deemed "unadoptable" due to
age, behaviour or medical problems. Sometimes this is very expensive.
Veterinary care is not cheap and VRRA volunteers spend their own money
when no other is available. We are working to raise funds for medical
care for sick and injured rabbits.
Where? - VRRA uses foster homes to house rabbits that need medical
care, behavioural modification or just plain attention and love. We also
have a 38 cage rabbit shelter where healthy rabbits available for adoption
are housed. Our goal is to have a central facility to contain a rabbit
shelter, education centre and rabbit supply shop where people can come
to adopt a pet and to learn about rabbit care. You can help us with your
support.
