Hoppy National Bunny Day! 🐰✨

Today, we're celebrating the incredible rabbits who bring so much joy to our lives and the amazing community that makes our work possible.

Thank you to every adopter, foster, volunteer, donor, supporter, and bunny lover who stands with Rabbit Advocates. Your compassion helps rabbits find safety, love, and second chances every day.

We are so grateful for this wonderful community and the countless ways you support rabbits in need. These sweet faces are just a few of the bunnies whose lives have been touched by your kindness.

From all of us at Rabbit Advocates: thank you for believing that every rabbit deserves a happy future. 💚

HOP ON MY LATEST UPDATE! 🐇⬇️

Since November, I’ve dedicated over 500 volunteer hours to restructuring and rebuilding the organization (and a lot of house cleaning), and I’m so pumped to finally share that I stepped into the President role at the beginning of this year. It’s been an incredible honor.

A quick RA history hop: started in 1996 inside a converted closet at OHS & by 2002, RA became its own organization. For the past 26 years, it's been powered entirely by volunteers, but in the past 5 years, truthfully, it's cause a lot of burnout for a small pool of internal volunteers.

This year, I wanted to change that.

My goals for 2026:
1. Build a real internal structure to reduce burnout
2. Rebuild our Rescue Team
3. Increase the number of rabbits in our care
4. Secure a permanent home for RA
5. Create clear, sustainable volunteer pathways

With our tiny but mighty internal team, we’ve been working hard to build the first true organizational structure in RA’s history - and it’s already transforming what we can do.

And the fun part:
We’re rolling out new internal volunteer roles to expand our Staff Team

If you want to help shape the future of RA, check out our current openings:

I am forever grateful to be on this journey, and I can't wait to see what it will look like a year from today.

Hoppy Spring! 🌷🐇
xo Stephanie, President of Rabbit Advocates
