House Rabbit Rescue of Missouri: St. Louis Dedicated to the rescue, adoption, and education regarding the care of abandoned domestic rabbits. Rabbits are no exception. Adoption; The best part!

(375)

Our mission is to rescue domestic rabbits turned loose and abandoned by their owners, take in rabbits from animal controls and shelters when their "time is up," and provide health care, spay or neuter, good care, healthy diet socialization and more. Then we adopt them out as happy and healthy fur-ever family members to qualified homes plus educate our adopters and the general population regarding

good rabbit care. Rescue; We work with the general public and proper law enforcement to rescue domestic rabbits abandoned to the wild. Many people dump their pets if they choose to not care for them anymore. Easter is a hot time for rabbit dumps and that is when MOHRS is on the scene. Out team safely and legally catches the scared rabbits and properly treats them for any parasites, injuries, or pain they may be experiencing plus having them spayed or neutered and vaccinated for RHDV2. Volunteers work everyday with socializing and getting to know each rabbit where a perfect match can be found for any loving family. We post here on Facebook, Instagram, PetFinder, and our website with any adoptable bunnies. Education; Our extensive bunny 101 class will teach you any and everything there is to know about the care and keeping of your future fur-ever family member. From the basic necessities to keeping your bunny happy to what to do when your have a rabbit in crisis, it has it all. Plus, we love to educate on our social media platforms and hear from owners with their own tips and tricks. Volunteering; We always need help when it comes to the care of The Bunny House and its 150+ residents. Basic tasks including feeding, cleaning, and grooming but the projects go on and on.

Learn if a bunny is the right pet for you BEFORE getting a rabbit. From what we see, about 80% of the bunnies obtained for children are abandoned or surrendered to shelters. They can be wonderful indoor animal companions, but ONLY if an adult is the primary caregiver and will want and love the bunny after the child is no longer interested. For information about our class on rabbit care and behavior see morabbit.org

Advocating for rabbits is part of education. Once a year, it is Humane Day at the state capital of Missouri in Jefferson City. Many animal advocates come to speak with their representatives. Having an actual table in the rotunda is limited to just a few organizations. Missouri House Rabbit Rescue has one of those tables by invitation only. We are honored to be one of the groups in the rotunda on Humane Day. We are assigned specific reps to visit to encourage them to vote on legislation that will help animals and reject those that harm animals. Christine Morabito, Dixie Geisler, Nicole Schwer, and Joy Gioia made the trek to Jefferson City on Wednesday to represent rabbits as well as all animals. We spoke with many people advocating for rabbits and animals in Missouri, as well as telling them more about Missouri House Rabbit Rescue and what we do to help rabbits.

If you'd like to read more about the bills currently under consideration that would be bad for animals, please see below. 'tshop

HB325 (BAD)
Legislation regarding the regulation of medical professions by local government should
not include the veterinary profession. All other medical professionals have some form
of state or additional oversight, while the veterinary profession has no meaningful
oversight at the state level or elsewhere. If local control is eliminated, veterinarians
would, in effect, be entirely unregulated.

#1. While other medical professions have accountability, such as the state criminal
code, which prohibits physical abuse of their patients, shockingly, veterinarians are
exempt from the state criminal code for physically abusing or neglecting their
patients—the animals that are under their care. (578.007)

#2 Regrettably, the Veterinary Practices Act does not mandate that the Veterinary
Medical Board investigate complaints of animal abuse or neglect by a veterinarian.
And if there is a decision to investigate such a complaint and there is probable cause to
believe that a violation has occurred, there is still no mandate that such a case be
referred for an administrative hearing. And, if there is a hearing and the Board finds
that the veterinarian abused an animal, the Board is only required to issue a non-public
warning to the veterinarian.

HB489 (BAD)
• Effectively eliminates the current disposition process, which could result in
abused/neglected animals being left in the hands of their abusers until a criminal
trial, which could be a year or longer.

If the animal is abused/neglected, what are the chances of that animal surviving a year or longer
if left with the owner that whole time until a trial occurs?

This time of year is always problematic for bunnies. We try to address this through education and alternative activities as much as possible. One of these events is our annual Bunny Experience. It's meant to provide a fun day for all children and families where they can do a variety of things bunny-related with bunnies everywhere. The photo area allowed parents to take photos of their children with a bunny (or maybe the whole family). There was a place to make a craft bunny to take home, go for an Egg Hunt among the bunnies to earn stickers that earned a treat bag of candy, put together a bunny toy for a shelter bunny and sit in our Meet N Greet Room to interact with some of our buns who love to get as much attention as possible. One of those bunnies is now pending adoption, too. Volunteer Gabbie Flanigan headed up the event with lots of helpers and Bruno Nojima spoke with parents about what it truly takes to have a bunny. Lots of children (and adults, too) had tons of fun.

Before the Bunny Experience could occur, we needed to do our annual spring cleaning. Regular MO HRR volunteers teamed up with students and athletes from Washington University's volunteering organizations to help get the job done. Headed by volunteer Gabbie Flanigan, it was a long but productive day. Thanks to all who helped with this huge project.

Each year, the Fenton Chamber of Commerce asks Missouri House Rabbit to bring bunnies for their annual Spring Egg Hunt for children and talk to parents about bunnies and children. The bunnies always draw a crowd, and the bunnies we take love the attention. Nicole brought her Flemish Giant Pebbles in a stroller, Joy brought Xavier, and Paula and Jeannie helped with Re*****on, Button, and Navy. Two tables were set up especially for photo ops, and an extra pen provided rest time for the bunnies. This is just one of many events Missouri House Rabbit is asked to attend to help children enjoy bunnies at this time of year, while spreading the word about not buying bunnies for Easter.

Each year, Spring brings a special challenge to rabbit rescues. Children love bunnies, but the last thing they need is a lot of chores coming with that baby bunny, which soon becomes a hormonal juvenile and frequently gets tossed out.

To help alleviate this problem, each year Missouri House Rabbit Rescue aligns with several organizations to provide information to parents and happiness to children who get to pet friendly bunnies without needing them to make a ten-to-twelve-year commitment.

We have already had two events with more to come. Our first was with a private company that asks us annually to give a presentation on rabbits to their employees and families.

The other was for the Missouri Botanical Garden. Each year, MO BOT holds a Springtime Family Celebration for its members. Each year, they also ask us to join them in providing information about rabbits to parents and offering the fun of petting friendly rabbits to the children. It also helps spread the message of "Adopt, Don't Shop" to those who may be seriously interested in adding a litter box-trained and already altered bunny to their family.

Below are photos of our volunteers and bunnies helping yesterday at MO BOT for this festive event.

Upcoming events include our participation in the Fenton Chamber of Commerce event next weekend and our own Spring Bunny Experience, which is open to the public. Please see our flyers on this page and join us for a fun event. We've had adults who also came even without children.
