Bunny yoga raises awareness of rabbit rescue in San Antonio
Gilson and about 50 other active volunteers have rescued and adopted out more than 275 rabbits. Some come from abusive situations, she said. Most get dumped or set loose, an Easter gift or impulse buy that was more work than their owners expected.
Rabbits wait in carriers to be let out for a bunny yoga fundraiser for Alamo City House Rabbits. The San Antonio volunteer group has rescued and adopted more than 275 rabbits since its first rescue in January 2016.That leaves rescue groups such as Alamo City House Rabbits with a herculean task. The nonprofit spends $30,000 a year on veterinary care for its rescues, which includes microchipping, spaying and neutering, and vaccinating against rabbit hemorrhagic virus.

Tina Gilson started the nonprofit volunteer group in 2015 to educate the public on responsible ownership of rabbits."There's just a great need for these fosters and support for this organization," said Leita Hatcher, a business manager for an investment firm who attended the bunny yoga class with her 11-year-old daughter, Eva.
