HRC APOLOGIZES FOR OUR DELAYS.
MOST OF OUR VOLUNTEERS FOR HOPLINE CALLS AND EMAILS LOST POWER IN THIS PAST STORM.
HRC foster volunteers are taking care of bunnies.
We are here and YES YES YES we are so happy to hear from you.
We do need you to adopt our “”"”"babies”"”"” (smile). Forgive us for response
delays. Most of us lost power and are still waiting for power.

Did You Know?
Rabbits are unable to vomit, this makes hairballs very dangerous.
Be sure to brush your bunny regularly.

Welcome to new Director Don Frigon
Don was appointed to our Board of Directors on July 25, 2011 by President Marlene Wilhelm.
Did You Know?
Bunnies arenʼt very vocal so when they thump their hind legs itʼs a warning sign. They are telling you and other rabbits danger is near or that they have heard something frightening.

Did You Miss the HRC Annual Meeting in June?
House Rabbit Connection was treated to a presentation and demonstration on How to Clicker Train Your Rabbit.
Our Guest Speakers were Sheri Gustafson and Kelly Ornell from the MSPCA Nevins Farm. We had two bunnies present to assist in the initial step in the clicker training. The crowd loved it!
Rebecca the Rabbit was so cute! (She was available for Adoption and found her forever family that day!) I think she figured out to move past the trainor and just eat the treats from the bowl!!!
President Marlene’s companion rabbit Jesse came to the meeting to be part of the clicker training demonstration as well. He was friendly and adorable!!!!
The trainors taught the group that it is a step by step process. They explained that the first time should be under 10 minutes and only 3 or 4 treats. They also reminded the group to be careful on the treats we give our bunnies! She recommended parsley or a favorite yummy green. President Marlene had brought her homemade treats that were special “cookies” with healthy only ingredients. The two bunnies loved them!
This book is available for sale on our website.
While we don’t have a video from the Annual Meeting, we did search YouTube and found an adorable video to give you an introduction of a Clicker Trained Bunny! This is an already trained bunny filmed back in 2009 when he was 2 years old.
Enjoy!
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce: Filip from Sweden.

What We Do We are an all-volunteer, nonprofit corporation with three primary goals:
To take in adoptable, abandoned rabbits from animal welfare organizations, animal control officers, and veterinarians, to provide temporary foster care, to get them spayed and neutered, and to find permanent, quality indoor homes for them;
To educate the public and assist humane societies and shelters in teaching rabbit care to the public; and
To reduce, primarily by public education, the number of rabbits discarded at shelters or turned loose when no longer wanted.
The House Rabbit Connection of Massachusetts & Connecticut is a nonprofit [501(c)(3)] org. All donations are tax deductible within the extent allowed by law.
Animal shelters have limited space for rabbits. Many rabbits face the possibility of euthanasia. Please consider fostering or adopting a house rabbit as a companion. Adopting a rescued rabbit from HRC makes room for another shelter rabbit to be placed in HRC foster care.
Please take a look at our current adoptable rabbits and email us
or call the HopLine (413/525-9222) for more information! We often have many more bunnies than listed so please call!
NOTE: We do not accept rabbits from the public.
Before you surrender your rabbit to a shelter,
read our tips on dealing with common problems.
