Overview
Mission
New Jersey House Rabbit Society is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote the well-being of domestic rabbits and to secure their place as a companion animal in society and in our homes.
What it reported doing in 2025
New Jersey House Rabbit Society is very proud of our low-cost rabbit spay/neuter certificate program for the benefit of the general public - the only one of its kind in New Jersey. By partnering with veterinarians, we provide the public with a means of having their companion rabbit spayed or neutered at a reduced cost. Rabbits are relinquished to animal shelters for a variety of reasons - chief among them are behavior issues and unwanted litters, both of which can be addressed by spaying for neutering. In order to help keep rabbits with their families, prevent births and enhance the health and longevity of companion rabbits, New Jersey House Rabbit Society initiated our reduced cost spay/neuter program. We continue to be the only such program in New Jersey. Only two veterinarians, not in our program, offer low cost spay/neuter services in New Jersey, so the need for our service is great.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 91% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
