The Foundation The integrity of Bunny Besties is

The Foundation The integrity of Bunny Besties is rooted in our mission and vision. We simply want to promote a foundation where others in need can safely look to us for that stress relief. A safe place to relax, de-stress and enjoy a bunny break.

Bunny Besties Blooming Trees tell us what the critical components in life are: • Roots • Integrity • Growth

Roots The roots of the tree are critical to creating the foundation. Without roots there is no nourishment for the tree to bloom. Without roots the tree could not weather the storms. Without roots the tree would cease to exist.

Integrity The integrity of the tree is the wooden structure. It rises from the nourishing roots to solidly stand tall. This is where our volunteers doing the work creates the growth.

Growth The beautiful growth of the tree is a direct result of its solid root system and its integrity of its trunk. With growth it blooms in all its greatness for the community to see and benefit from. Bunny Besties is in full bloom!

Core Principles The foundation of Bunny Besties is rooted in our mission and vision. The integrity is in our volunteers. The growth is how we bloom in our community. Simply we are providing a bunny break from the stresses of life to those in need.

• Our core values are roots, integrity and growth. • Our mission is to work to improve mental health in our community by incorporating Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) and Animal Assisted Interactions (AAI) into programs that provide support to those in need.
