The House Rabbit Connection always needs volunteers to help make our programs successful. Even if you can only volunteer small blocks of time, HRC can use your assistance — wherever you live.
Foster Rabbits
The rabbits that are adopted from HRC are litter box trained, socialized, and make wonderful pets. HRC needs volunteers who are willing to be foster parents for rabbits adopted from shelters. This involves a time commitment as well as proper space in the home for training and socialization of the rabbit(s). The most gratifying part of being a fosterer is knowing you made a difference – you helped save a rabbit or rabbits, and prepared them for adoption, bonding, and a “new leap on life.” Even if you can only help on a temporary basis, let us know you are considering it.
Post Flyers
WE MAY BE AN INTERNET WORLD BUT FLYERS REALLY DO REACH NEW BUNNY ADOPTERS!!! HRC really needs a Fall/Winter flyer posting everywhere! Help us by hanging flyers, even if you hang just one HRC flyer every week. We know from experience that these tear-off flyers really work! You can download and print the flyer. Then take it to your local copy shop, and hang it wherever you can. Contact us if you wold like to receive a free flyer pack.

Assist at in-store events
Sit behind a table for a few hours on a weekend with other volunteers (training provided). Answer questions, share stories about your bunnies antics, distribute bunny care guides and sell rabbit-related retail items. Often there will be a foster bunny present too!
