Education: our education programs included free online classes in rabbit care and behavior; free hard-copy educational materials, mailed and handed out in vet clinics, at events, and at the Richmond, CA headquarters; and extensive information and online classes via our local and national websites. In addition, one issue of our magazine, House Rabbit Journal, was produced and distributed to members and others; 32 e-newsletters were emailed to supporters; 167 online classes were held. We held 22 educational outreach events, engaging 3,193 people. We assisted 41 shelters and humane societies with educational materials. Our licensed HRS educators provided local support and education in their communities.

Medical Program: At our headquarters facility in Richmond, CA, 444 exams and 398 low-cost spay/neuter surgeries were performed, for in-house rescues, other rescue groups, and the public. We were also able to vaccinate 900 rabbits for RHDV2, as well as train twelve veterinary professionals in rabbit-specific medicine.
