Bunny Needs

The Missouri HRS is entirely funded by donations and fundraising efforts. The care of foster bunnies is an out-of-pocket expense to the foster home, with the exception of medical treatment. For this reason, our biggest needs are monetary gifts, item donations, foster homes, and general volunteers—particularly those with fundraising experience.

To help direct those wishing to make a donation, we have compiled a Bunny Begging list of needed items. Although some items may be "big ticket" one-time purchases, the majority are food and care necessities used for day-to-day operations. Your donations are greatly appreciated!
