Today we kicked off our end-of-the-year MOHRR Giving Campaign.  The campaign begins Dec. 3 and ends Dec. 31, so all donations are tax-deductible and qualify for the 2024 tax year. This is a matching event due to an incredible member who will match up to $10,000 in donations.  Please consider helping the bunnies. 

As a 501c3, 100% volunteer organization, every penny donated goes directly to help the rescued bunnies in our care. Not one person receives a salary or monetary compensation for helping MO HRR from president to tax accountant. EVERYONE is a volunteer and every bunny is saved because of you, our supporters. 

​

We are working on creating a play area for our rabbits. This space will house multiple play areas: large play items for hiding, running through, jumping on, and playing. It will also offer space for volunteers to socialize shy buns to help them become more adoptable. What's even more fun is that it will all be visible to visitors coming into our store and it will be a space where we can hold Hoppy Hours for member bunnies to enjoy some special playtime, too.  

To accomplish this, we first need to create more storage space for the many pallets of hay we get in each month and those pallets take up a LOT of space.  To create that room, we need to build a large storage shed and that required a permit from St. Louis County.  It's amazing how long it takes to obtain a permit, but we've heard from others that this is normal.  The big news is that we finally got our permit to build the storage shed!   Our contractor for doing the concrete floor is getting started now. 

You are our angels for the bunnies.  Our shed and Bunny Playground will happen because of you!  The times when bunnies need extra veterinary care happen because of you!  This year we've had SIX starvation cases arrive within one month.  Nearly half of the almost 200 bunnies we've taken in were caught by our rescue team or found by people and brought to us.  Some were from a confiscation where the police called us for help.  All of these bunnies were taken in.  That help happened because of you.  THANK YOU!
