If you are interested in volunteering for B.U.N.S. there are a lot of different ways you can make a difference in some bunny’s life.

You can volunteer one hour or more a week at the shelter taking care of the stray and abandoned bunnies that are waiting for a home.  Activities can include some of the following: changing the bunnies' water, giving pellets, washing and distributing vegetables, helping with grooming, putting bunnies out to exercise, cleaning litter pans, trays and bunny cages.  The shelter is a fun place to volunteer, with lots of opportunities to work with and meet other nice bunny lovers.

You can also volunteer to be a foster parent. This entails caring for a bunny in your own home.  Bunnies can go to foster care for a few different reasons, such as: overcrowding at the shelter, need for medical care, or the bunny may need some one-on-one attention to help with behavioral training.  All foster parents are provided with a cage, pellets, and hay from B.U.N.S.  All medical care is paid for by B.U.N.S.  Foster care is a temporary situation.  At B.U.N.S. we believe all bunnies should be given every possibility to find a warm and caring home on a permanent basis.

There are many other opportunities to contribute, such as helping shuttle bunnies to and from the vet for spay and neutering; or helping with outreach projects, such as Basic Bunny classes, or Farmer’s Markets.  If you have a digital camera, we are in desperate need of someone to help us take pictures of the bunnies at the shelter and in foster care, so we can post them on our website.  At this time we only have less than one third of the available bunnies for adoption on the website.

B.U.N.S. welcomes everyone who wants to contribute to our organization. For children under the age of 18, we ask that they are accompanied by a responsible adult. For more information please contact Heather Starr by email: volunteer@bunssb.org or by phone: 805-971-5174.

Thanks! We hope to meet you at the shelter soon!!!
