Hay elves are volunteers who work as a team to pack a healthy mix of fresh hays and grasses into boxes for sale in support of San Diego House Rabbit Society (HRS). This project is a life-saver in two ways: it provides quality hay for bunnies throughout the region, and it is the single largest income source for San Diego HRS to continue its rescue and education activities. Money earned from hay sales supports our spay/neuter and medical fund.
Job assignments include boxing, taping, stacking/general helping, and transportation - getting hay bales to packing day and packed boxes to our various points of sale (truck or SUV required for transporting).
Hay packing days are on Saturday mornings from 8:30 to 11 a.m. An email is sent one to two weeks in advance to line up volunteers for each day.
Volunteers must be a minimum of 16 years of age and have reliable transportation.

Mission Statement
San Diego House Rabbit Society: Supporting local shelters, educating the public, and serving the needs of companion rabbits in our community - for nearly 20 years!
Description
San Diego House Rabbit Society is a volunteer driven, nonprofit rabbit welfare organization. We rescue, adopt to new homes, and assist local shelters to adopt out, well over 100 domestic rabbits per year. Some of these rabbits have run out of time at animal shelters and were scheduled for euthanasia; others were deemed "unadoptable" because of age, health or disposition.
All incoming HRS foster rabbits are spayed or neutered, given necessary veterinary care and have their social needs attended to. HRS foster parents spend time getting to know each rabbit in order to match him or her with an appropriate home. No rabbits in HRS foster care are euthanized because they have "run out of time." Additionally, rabbits are also kept in our new Adoption Center/shelter.
In addition to adoption and rescue, San Diego HRS is an invaluable resource to the rabbit community. HRS provides:
- Education on the care of rabbit companions
- Referrals to local rabbit-experienced exotic veterinarians and emergency clinics
- The first "rabbit only" spay/neuter rebate program in the country
- High-quality, lower cost supplies and freshly boxed hay for local rabbit families
- An informative website, telephone hotline and email information service to answer questions about rabbit behavior and care
- The first "rabbit only" shelter in San Diego county
- Classes on rabbit care that are free or low-cost to the public
