About BUNNY WORLD FOUNDATION

Bunny World Foundation is a foster-based rabbit rescue and advocacy organization based in Los Angeles; it operates without a shelter facility and relies on a network of volunteers and foster homes to rescue, rehabilitate, spay/neuter, and rehome domestic rabbits. The organization's EIN (26-3792479) has been confirmed against IRS/Nonprofit records and its public filings and profiles show active, ongoing operations. In the last 2–3 years BWF has led and partnered on multiple large-scale emergency responses and mass rescues: in 2023 it participated in a major intervention against a backyard breeding operation as part of a year with 700+ rescues; in 2024 it partnered with Los Angeles Animal Services on a Granada Hills hoarding intervention that involved hundreds of rabbits; and in 2025 BWF mobilized during Southern California wildfires to rescue and care for 150+ displaced rabbits while rapidly expanding its foster network. BWF runs a foster-to-adopt program, provides vet and spay/neuter support, public education about rabbit care, and periodic adoption events; the organization has sustained measurable rescue activity, regular media visibility, and third-party ratings that indicate ongoing donor-facing operations.
