Are You Ready To Make A Difference?
Welcome to Hoppy Harlequins Rabbit Assisted Therapy Volunteer Program.
As the owner of Hoppy Harlequins, I have had an Emotional Support Rabbit to help me through my depression and anxiety in my younger years. Even now I have a rabbit who means much to me and is supportive in any way he can.
As such, I have decided to create a new program in collaboration with Pet Partners.
When I rescue or rehome rabbits, there is always one or two rabbits that I come across at a time that stand out for their friendliness, their patience, and just all around easy going attitude. These rabbits would make amazing therapy rabbits.
This program is about finding volunteers, either new to volunteering for an animal assisted therapy program, or for ones that do not have access to a suitable therapy animal to volunteer with. We match these volunteers with suitable therapy prospects, and help train and finance these therapy teams. No access to a pet friendly housing arrangement? We will house your rabbit partner here at Hoppy Harlequins for no cost.
Please be aware that being part of this volunteer program is a long term investment, with rabbits needing to work with their handlers for at least 6 months before being deployed.
