Heartland Rabbit Rescue

As anyone can tell from reading my blog, animals are a big part of my life. I have adopted or rescued numerous animals and even though we have nearly reached our limit on bringing in any new animals, I think it is important to continue to support the efforts of rescue organizations.

One goal of my business plan is to donate 10% of my Etsy sales to various animal rescue groups. I do have my favorites and usually I like to donate to a group that is local, but I found Heartland Rabbit Rescue's site and blog and have been following it ever since. This month I am making a donation to their group by sponsoring one of their special needs rabbits.This is Hope. She was brought to Heartland Rabbit Rescue after being abandoned at a city shelter. She had weepy eyes due to a possible pasteurella infection and later developed signs of encephalitozoon cuniculi, which causes uncontrollable rolling and head tilt. Fortunately, her condition has improved, although she will always have the head tilt.

I hope that my donation will help with her care and that of the other bunnies waiting for their forever loving homes at Heartland Rabbit Rescue.

Equine Voices Wine Tasting Fund Raiser

Equine Voices, the sanctuary where I got Piper, is having their annual fundraiser this Friday in Amado. Of course, Lee and I will be going to help support the rescue work that they do. It should be a fun evening with food, wine tasting from local wineries, and a silent and live auction of donated items. Below is a necklace I created for the silent auction. I'm hoping it will bring in lots of bids! If you are in the area and interested in attending the event, all the details are on the Equine Voices website.
