Unfortunately, our foster sites are always full. The shelter can become overwhelmed at any time, and by adopting, you'll be saving a life. If you have ever considered adopting another rabbit, the time is now. No bun should live alone.
The House Rabbit Connection (P.O. Box 83 Springfield, MA 01101-0083) is a nonprofit [501 (c)(3)] organization. All donations are tax deductible.
And of course if you can foster, by all means let us know. Call the HopLine at (413)525-9222 (email links are at bottom of page).
Often, some of the rabbits shown here HAVE
been adopted. If so, we have plenty more who need a home, so give us a call.
If you don't find the rabbit(s) you are looking for here, please also check
our linked shelter pages.

Featured Foster Rabbit(s):
|
Windy is a lovely 5-pound bun who has made wonderful progress
on her trust of people. She loves when her foster mom pets her and waits patiently
for her dinner without complaining. And, she will let you pick her up briefly.
She is very curious and cannot resist checking you out. Windy has been waiting
a long time for her forever home. She has shown us that with a little TLC she
is a friendly loveable girl. She would still do best in a home without little
children. Please give us a call if you would like to meet Windy.
Coco is a 3 year old male, chocolate brown rabbit. Coco gained some
weight while in the shelter but now he is eating a healthy diet and getting
lots of exercise..He is looking great!! Coco is a playful bun, he loves cardboard
tubes to chew on, boxes to jump on or rest in or push around his pen. He likes
his big jingle ball he can throw or push. He is happy and friendly. Coco is
a very sweet boy, he has great litter box habits and he would be a nice rabbit
for a first time bunny caretaker.
Alberta
is an adult female English Spot rabbit. She is one of the cutest and
sweetest rabbits you will meet - but she does have her feisty side. She loves
attention!! She loves to be petted and will tolerate being picked up for short
periods of time. Alberta is a special needs bunny. She appears to have what
is called Mega-colon (or cow pile syndrome).
This is not a disease - it is a deformity of the colon which can be found in
some rabbits with the English Spot coloring. It is essential that her diet be
controlled and monitored to reduce the symptoms of this defect and prevent painful
GI problems. Alberta is a darling little bunny and she deserves a forever home
with a family that will be strict in caring for her properly! Can you give her
this happy home?
Snowy and Flurry are two small but fully-grown bunnies. Their
family is moving to the UK and if they were to take them along the pair would
have to endure a long flight and then a 15 day quarantine - this would cause
too much stress for any rabbit and could possibly be fatal. As sad as it makes
the family it is best for HRC to take them back in and find then a new loving
home. They are available but still waiting for foster space.
They are a bonded pair and enjoy exploring their playing area together and grooming
each other. Give them an obstacle course with cardboard tubes and boxes and
they will be in rabbit heaven. Snowy is a 3 year-old dwarf, white, with beautiful
black markings around his eyes. He is gentle and will come to be petted - he
especially likes to be scratched behind his ears. He spends his time moving
around and tossing his toys. Flurry is almost 2 years old, white with ruby eyes.
She is still getting used to being petted, but the secret to her heart is to
encourage her with a treat - she loves her food. Of the two bunnies, she is
the adventurer and will go exploring if given the space. These lovely rabbits
need lots of gentle attention, they will miss their current home and will need
to adjust to a new place.
Mason is a 2 year old male dwarf bunny - he is white with grey markings
and sweet dark blue eyes. Mason is so adorable!! He is a sweet and friendly
bunny who gets along well with cats.
Hi Everyone, my name is Victoria. I'm a 4 year old female Dutch
bunny. I had a nice home but they decided to give me up because they had no
time for me. I don't know why because I am very good with my litter box, I loved
their attention and when they petted me. I let them pick me up if they wanted
and would sit and watch TV with them. I don't mind other animals in the household
and I get along well with anyone. In my new foster home they have dogs and cats,
I even let one of their dogs lick me....it's kind of cool. I am very easy-going
and love to run and play. I hope there is a family that will love me and give
me my forever home!
Abby
is a year and a half old. She is a lovely agouti bunny with big beautiful eyes.
Abby tends to be shy and a bit independent.
Sky is a 1 1/2 year old Female Mini Lop. She is gray with beige
accents, very cute!! She is a very friendly girl. Happy & silly she loves
to run, jump and explore! She would be a great family rabbit and also a great
first time rabbit. She has great litter box skills! Sky was given to some childern
by her original owners, then she was surrendered to the MSPCA in Springfield,
MA. Come and meet Sky!! You will be glad you did.
Betty is the sister of Barney and Freddy. She is also 4 months
old. Like her brothers, she has the same sweet personality. All three of these
little ones are used to being handled.
Orson
is a small 4 month old brown & white Dutch rabbit. He has a happy personality
and likes to be petted.

Animal shelters have limited space for rescuing rabbits. Many rabbits face the possibility of euthanasia. Please consider fostering or adopting a house rabbit as a companion. Adopting a rescued rabbit from the HRC makes room for another shelter rabbit to be placed in HRC foster care. Call the Hopline at (413) 525-9222
(Email links at bottom of page).
We often have many more bunnies than listed so please call!

Former
HRC foster bunnies (now a happily bonded pair), Sadie & Elliott play with
their Busy Bunny Ball treat/pellet dispensing toy. They act like a "tag-team"
when it comes to how they get their pellets. With every nudge and roll
of the ball, pellets fall out from one of the two openings, making them work
& play for their food. A wonderful must-have for everybun!

Ball, or click on the link below. If you buy through Busy Pet Toys, remember
