After our successes in the last two shelter challenges (HRS chapters in Missouri and NYC both won $1000!), HRS is once again asking our supporters to vote, daily, for the Rhode Island chapter at the Animal Shelter Site's new shelter challenge. Visit here each day from April 9 to June 17, and choose "Sweet Binks" and the state "RI." After you vote the first time, the system will remember your vote and the name Sweet Binks will show up each time thereafter. You can also set up a daily reminder to help you to vote!

Our latest emergency grants have gone to Earthanimal Humane Education and Rescue Society (EARS) to help with the spay/neuters of some of the 600-800 Canmore rabbits who are in danger of being killed by the town of Canmore, Canada, and House Rabbit Network to help with the care (specifically spay/neuters) of 105 rabbits found in a filthy shed in Lempster, New Hampshire. The rabbits were thirsty, covered with parasites, and had a number of injuries. HRN needs more help, especially with adoptions!

About HRS
Founded in 1988, we are a nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing abandoned rabbits and educating the public about rabbit care. We are headquartered in Richmond, California and have over 120 licensed educators and fosterers and 30 local chapters across the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Asia. To date we have rescued and found adoptive homes for over 25,200 rabbits. More Info

Looking for Breeding Information?
We believe domestic rabbits should live primarily indoors and be neutered or spayed. Overpopulation is big problem, and even breeding your rabbit a single time can have consequences. If you find yourself with an unexpected litter of rabbits, we do have some general information about newborn babies that may be of use.

Our web site is dedicated to FooBar.
