House Rabbit Connection, Inc.

Your Tax-Deductible Donation Through PayPal Will Help Us Save More Rabbits!

The House Rabbit Connection, Inc. is an all-volunteer non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with over 225 members. Each year we rescued, provided veterinary and foster care for, and re-homed over 100 rabbits into permanent, loving adoptive homes in Massachusetts and Connecticut.

The financial donations of our supporters allow us to:

1. Provide foster care and veterinary services to abandoned rabbits, and to seek permanent, quality indoor homes for them;
2. Educate the public and assist humane societies in teaching proper rabbit care;
3. Reduce, primarily through education, the number of rabbits discarded at shelters or turned loose when no longer wanted.

Your tax-deductible donation will help us to maximize the impact of our goals!

The ongoing expenses of our organization include, but are not limited to, the following:

• The HopLine (413/525-9222), a phone service staffed by trained, rabbit-savvy volunteers of the House Rabbit Connection, who educate, problem-solve, and conduct intake interviews with callers wishing to adopt a rabbit;
• Veterinary fees for the spay/neuter of all rabbits brought into HRC foster care, as well as for foster rabbits needing veterinary treatment for physical disorders (dental disorders, infections, abcesses, mite infestations, etc.);
• The costs of educating the public through newspaper ads, phone book entries, and billboards on mass transit buses;
• Providing necessary supplies and equipment for rabbits in our foster homes, such as hay, pellets, exercise pens, dog crates and litter boxes;
• Providing ongoing and lifelong care for our “sanctuaried” rabbits;
• Office supplies, postage, and printing costs.
