Houston Rabbit Resource
The Lazarus Medical Fund
Because every bunny deserves the chance to rise.
Lazarus arrived carrying fleas, mites, painful mats, swelling, congestion, and exhaustion. But even in pain, he pressed his head gently into our hands. His courage became the reason this fund exists: to help Houston Rabbit Resource say yes when the next fragile bunny needs urgent medical care.
This fund helps cover
Emergency exams, diagnostics, medication, supportive feeding, parasite treatment, and recovery care.
Emergency Vet Care
Urgent exams, diagnostics, treatment plans, and follow-up visits for rabbits who need help fast.
Medication & Recovery
Treatment for parasites, infections, pain, respiratory illness, wounds, and other urgent medical needs.
Safe Healing Spaces
Warmth, monitoring, supportive feeding, grooming, comfort, and foster homes while they recover.
Meet Lazarus
One bunny’s rise became a promise to the next one.
Lazarus came to us for what was believed to be an eye infection. But once he was in our hands, we saw the truth. His fur was crawling with fleas. Mites had settled deep into his skin. Mats pulled painfully at his body. His breathing was congested. His body was tired.
And still, Lazarus leaned in.
He accepted touch. He drank water. He rested in warmth. He reminded us that even the most fragile rabbits are still asking for a chance.
That chance is what the Lazarus Medical Fund makes possible.

Why this fund matters
Lazarus is not the only rabbit who arrives needing more than a safe place to land.
Every year, Houston Rabbit Resource meets rabbits with untreated infections, mange, mites, severe mats, starvation, dehydration, respiratory illness, injuries, and pain they have been hiding for far too long.
The Lazarus Medical Fund gives us the ability to respond quickly. It helps cover the urgent care, medication, diagnostics, supportive feeding, and rehabilitation these rabbits need before they can even begin looking for forever homes.
When you give to this fund, you are not just helping one bunny. You are helping us be ready for the next emergency.

Medical fosters matter
Care needs soft places to land.
Some rabbits need more than vet visits. They need quiet rooms, patient hands, daily monitoring, and someone who will celebrate every tiny sign of progress.
Medical fosters help bunnies like Lazarus heal in comfort while HRR provides guidance, supplies, and support.
Because every bunny deserves the chance to rise
Lazarus is fighting, and we are fighting with him.
With your help, we can fight for every bunny who arrives scared, sick, injured, or forgotten.
