Rabbits’ Welfare Contribution with House Rabbit Society Singapore (HRSS)
Besides dogs and cats, Yappy Pets is also passionate about helping out our little furry buddies. Our partnership with HRSS started in 2013 and has been a staple in our corporate social responsibility (CSR) since. HRSS is an all-volunteer group dedicated to rabbit welfare, adoption and education. They also rescue and rehome abandoned rabbits with foster families.
Many of our contributions to the society has been in the form of donations. These donations are mainly rabbit food (Oxbow hay, treats and supplements), during HRSS’s adoption drives and rescue work. During such events, Yappy Pets donate goodie bags and prizes. Our CSR efforts towards the society is still going strong and we intend for it to last for a long time to come.
The following are some events we have participated in over the years.
