To help as many animals as we can, educate people about how to care for their animals, increase their compassion for animals, and stop the needless killing and product testing on unwanted animals! Our company was founded on the basis that all
of the money earned from our pet store will be spent on four things: We have just begun, so we are first trying to establish a functioning business. Once we can maintain our business, all the profits will be put back into the business to support the creation of actual stores and new rescues. All the money goes to help animals! Once we had two bunnies, Cinnabun and Honey Bun, who happily lived in our backyard. One day an unknown rabbit showed up in our front yard. We were worried that a dog or a car might hurt him, so we put him in the backyard with Cinnabun and Honey Bun. We named him Eeyore. They all got along really well. After a few months, we spotted a baby black bunny running around our backyard. We caught him and did not know what to do with him so we put him back out there. We soon realized that we had several baby bunnies, 11 to be exact. We later learned that our two original bunnies were again pregnant with another litter each. During this time, Eeyore became ill and died a few hours after we brought him to the vet. After the second litters were born, we had a total of 24 bunnies. When we found out how much it cost to have them spayed and neutered, we were shocked! We also did not know how to tell whether we had boy bunnies or girl bunnies. We took some of the babies to the vet to find out how to sex them. We learned we had many girls, and only about 6 boys. To reduce the cost, it seemed logical to have the boys neutered, and not to have the girls spayed. It would have worked too, if we did not miss one of the boys! Time went by, we didn't see any new babies until 4-5 months later. To make a long story short, we ended up with over a hundred bunnies in our backyard in the middle of Los Angeles. We were worried about the "humane" society finding out and taking them all away and destroying them (they actually came and everything was fine!). We called all of the rescue places we could find, but they were all full and not able to take any more bunnies. Our ads in the classified section went unanswered or we got lots of calls from people with large snakes. We were even told to have some of them destroyed by so-called "rescuers". Pet stores were not an option because they might feed them to the snakes, and they don't screen potential bunny parents. The options we were facing were not acceptable to us. We don't believe in euthanizing (murdering) innocent animals whose real problem was our ignorance about caring for them. We wanted to do the right thing by them and for our own consciences. After considering opening our own shelter, we decided that it was too hard begging for money. That's when the idea hit to open a store to support our bunnies. Then it grew into supporting any animal out there that needed help; charity through capitalism. That is where we are now, trying to make that dream a realization; and it will be! |
