ALL SUMMER LONG! The LA Rabbits Foundation needs volunteers to pick up 1-3 bales of hay from Riverside Dr. in Glendale or from Red Barn in Reseda, bag it, then deliver it to West Los Angeles and/or Playa del Rey. Hay and fuel costs will be covered by the organization (unless you want to cover the costs and then get a charitable receipt from the organization). Since traffic is lighter on the weekends, most "hay elves" prefer to pick up hay then--but any day is fine, as long as someone is available to receive the hay. The frequency of each volunteer's hay runs will depend on the number of new hay elves they recruit. They currently have one hay elf doing a weekly or bi-weekly run, depending on demand for the hay.

They do not stick their foster homes with rabbits like some other groups do. They are a premier rabbit organization; our rabbits are neutered and box trained to varying degrees. They do not cage rabbits: the rabbits live in a playpen when not supervised, or a well-bunnyproofed room. Thank you for helping us save lives! Here's the basic information on fostering for them: https://larabbits.org/fostering
