Volunteering

We are always looking for volunteers so we can further
our rescue efforts. If you have some time to give please
consider becoming a volunteer.
Most of us work full time and have families, but we can
always squeeze some time in and make a difference. There are
lots of different volunteer opportunities with the Bunny
Bunch - there is something for everyone. You don't have to
have any experience, and it is up to you how much time you
want to give. Here are some of the ways you can volunteer:

The Burrow - we have a never ending need for
animal care givers, from cleaning litter boxes to giving
veggies, to sweeping, grooming and socializing. The more
volunteers we have, the more animals we can help. Saturdays
and Sundays are very busy with the public coming in for nail
trims, bunny dates, adoptions, care info and to buy supplies
from our store. We always need more volunteers on the
weekends.
Adoption Events - we also hold adoption events at
other locations and need help there too. Currently these are
held in Chino Hills, Santa Monica, Huntington Beach and
Tustin.
Adoption Managers - With some training you can apply
to become an adoption manager, which means you can screen
applicants who are interested in adopting, as well as give
care info and advice.
Advertising - the more people that know about us the
more animals we will be able to help. If you are savvy when
it comes to getting the word out this is where you could
help us best.

Educator - One of the most important things we do is
give out care info to help people know how to properly care
for their rabbit, chins and piggies. We have a training
program for this for those who are interested.
Events - every time we hold an event there is alot to
coordinate and prepare for. We need help from being a
coordinator, to running a booth, to setting up and taking
down.
Fundraising - we have to raise over $4000 a month to
run the Burrow, so we can help prevent animals from being
killed and find them forever homes. We need lots of help
here!
Handy "People" - there is always something that needs
to be repaired, built, set up or taken down.

Mailings - we send out a quarterly newsletter,
plus postcards and flyers about our upcoming events. Help is
needed with sorting and mailings.
Transportation - this can be from taking an animal
for a vet appointment, to picking up an animal at a shelter,
to picking up supplies, or even taking rabbits to their new
home. Sometimes we have long trips that are needed too.
Shelters - we can only take in so many animals at the
Burrow, so we have programs where volunteers visit local
city and county shelters. At the shelters, we make sure the
rabbits are cared for and are getting lots of hay and
veggies. We need photos of the rabbits so we can post them
on our website to find them homes. Once we have done an
adoption at the Burrow we take in a rabbit from one of these
shelters.
Of course, there are many more opportunities to volunteer,
so if you have something you are good at that could help us
please let us know.
When you volunteer you will truly be making a difference in
the lives of many animals. Not only do we rescue animals
that would otherwise have been killed, but we educate people
on how to care for their animals. We work at setting up
programs to help shelters and to help people keep their
animals instead of giving them up. We stay up to date with
the latest in exotic animal health and work with many exotic
vets.

| At the 2012 Pet Expo in
Orange County |
You will meet lots of lovely rabbits, chins, guinea pigs
and other small and furries. You will be around other
volunteers that feel the same way you do about making a
difference. It is a truly meaningful way to live your life.
