Our success is tracked based entirely on the number of bunnies we can serve and vaccines we can afford. We cannot intake a bunny unless they are vaccinated. (I don't know how to assign a Tracking Metric Goal number below). =)

To provide life-saving vaccine to protect House Rabbits in our shelter and adoption homes from the deadly Rabbit Hemorrhagic Virus 2 (RHDV2).
Description
In the spring of 2020, Covid-19 shut down our shelter for 3 months during our Governor's Stay at Home Order, and all of our shelter bunnies went into foster care homes with our Volunteers. At that same time, Colorado had it's first reported case of a similar novel virus attacking bunnies - Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus 2. Now that our shelter is reopen and serving our community, we are battling this deadly virus that is extremely contagious among bunnies and is nearly 100% fatal. If one bunny in our shelter contracts the virus, our entire population will have to be euthanized per our governing agency. Thankfully there is a vaccine which we, through our partnering Veterinarian, import from England to administer to all incoming shelter bunnies. The bunnies must then be microchipped to record and track their vaccination, and they must be vaccinated every year. Bunnies can live to be 15 years old, so the expense adds up. The vaccine is 90% effective. Cases have been reported in Washington, New York City, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, California and Utah. We are committed to providing education and vaccine to all our incoming shelter bunnies who travel from neighboring states also fighting this virus, and provide vaccine access to our previously adopted bunnies, as well as special adoption cases for lower-income adopters to afford medical care for their bunns. This year we vaccinated over 180 bunnies. We expect that number to grow to over 200 in 2021.
