Please help!
We have posted about moving, asking for someone to take over the rescue (which we are aware that will take time), and help finding homes for the 5 rabbits we have left. We also simply asked that you share our posts to get the word out. There are 6 shares and only 120 views. Now for some tough love.
We started this rescue 3 years ago with $0. We started it with love and passion and drive. We started it with 1 rabbit. We continue to have a running balance in the bank of about $50. That is due to a monthly donation from 1 person. One..person.. my husband and I run this rescue and he is unemployed and I lost my job and work at the mall. That's the reality. Yet we have made it work, on our own, with help from friends. We have rehomed about 15 rabbits over the years. We do good work.
Yet we ask and beg for help to continue our good work, and the only posts that get shared are the ones I share from the internet; the cute bunnies, the sad bunnies in shelters, etc. We ask for serious help as in "hey! We are moving and need to find homes, this is not a drill" and the lack of response from the community is heartbreaking. We appreciate the praise when we save bunnies and have high profile rabbits like "Pistschio", but once those are over we seem to be out of sight, out of mind.
We. Are. Moving. And the rabbits need homes. We can take them if we have to but the rescue as an entity is not. That means if they come with us, now we own 5 rabbits as pets along with our cat, dog, horse, fish, and snake. And that is too much.
We will still be picky about who adopts so there is a still an application.
But please share. I'm serious. Share the hell out of this. Or I'll have to dissolve the rescue and it won't exist. Because there's not enough support being shown that this area even wants it here.
Tough love over, we really appreciate everyone who does help and does try.
