Mission Statement
Our mission is:
• to PREVENT irresponsible acquisition and care of companion rabbits;
• to improve RETENTION rates of rabbits already living in homes in order to avoid them being relinquished or abandoned;
• to EDUCATE persons who live with, shelter, and/or treat rabbits to give them the best care possible;
• and to ADVOCATE for the broader welfare of rabbits in general.
Description
RabbitWise Memphis is the Mid-South branch of RabbitWise, Inc. Our organization is dedicated to the welfare of domestic (pet) rabbits. We educate people about rabbit care, and work to get abandoned rabbits into loving homes.
RABBITWISE'S PURPOSE
By providing easy access to local and internet rabbit resources, public education, consultation and referral services, RABBITWISE hopes to assist current and potential rabbit caretakers in making responsible decisions about rabbits, in giving high quality care to rabbits, and in understanding the nature, behavior, and communication styles of rabbits.
By participating in community and nation wide animal welfare organizations' programs, by mounting public relations campaigns where appropriate, and by offering community programs for rabbits, RabbitWise hopes to raise public and private consciousness about rabbits to help them achieve the status that dogs and cats currently enjoy.
RABBITWISE's GOALS
RABBITWISE is primarily concerned with promoting the welfare and increasing the quality of life of an individual, group, and/or class of domestic rabbits by:
-offering educational, consulting, coordination, and/or support services to potential and current rabbit guardians;
-offering educational, consulting, coordination, and/or support services to the rescue, shelter, veterinary, and advocacy communities; and by
-advocating publically and privately for humane treatment of rabbits locally and nationwide.
