Springfield, MA MSPCA

The MSPCA Animal Care and Adoption Center has seen an increase in surrendered or stray rabbits over the past year. They may have anywhere from 8 to 15 rabbits (or even more) in their care. There may be more rabbits available that are not pictured here. Please stop in to see these wonderful rabbits and consider giving them the permanent loving home they deserve. Phone number: (413) 736-2992. (Directions)

Here's HRC volunteer Julie helping socialize the bunnies at the Springfield MSPCA

Honey is a 3 year old spayed female. She is a little shy but wants to make friends with you! She is a velvety soft Rex and she is a darling bunny. She really needs a forever home with lots of love and attention!
Dory (formerly Onyx) was found as a stray. She is a bit shy, yet really sweet and gentle. She is a young female bunny with beautiful black fur and a sugar nose. Once she gets used to the warm indoors and and human companionship, she'll make a wonderful pet!
Jack is a brown mini-lop with one white paw. He is medium in size, very cute and is about 8 months old. He was adopted from the Boston MSPCA a few months ago; but his new owner was not allowed to keep him. He's quite friendly and is used to being around cats, dogs and children. Jack has tons of energy and likes to roam around and explore.
Cookie is a 2 year old black male dwarf mix. He is a very sweet bunny, but does not like to be picked up. He lived with small childen in the past and is quite relaxed around children and adults.
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.
Dulce is a 5 year old female netherland dwarf bunny. She is the most beautiful cream color with very expressive eyes. Dulce does the most adorable binkies and is so fun to watch!
Charlie is a year and a half old male rabbit. He is white with agouti spots. His owners were moving and couldn't take him with them.
Bubba is a 5 year old black dwarf rabbit. He may be the sweetest rabbit you'll ever meet. Bubba would be the perfect companion for evenings on the couch while watching television. He enjoys attention and will sit for hours while you pet him.
Wallace is a beautiful cinnamon mini rex rabbit. His fur is as soft as velvet. He's 5 years old. Sadly, his owner could no longer care for him. Wallace loves his veggies and would welcome a large daily supply of them!

If you visit the Springfield MSPCA, make sure to ask to see ALL the rabbits. Sometimes, they don't all fit in the adoption room. Any others would be in "bunny alley."

You'll usually find 2 or more bunnies to choose from here.

Remember - Rabbits need plenty of exercise and large cages. Many rabbit's owners put them in unacceptable cages that are too small or have inappropiate flooring. This affects the personalities and health of the animals. Please be logical and picture yourself being treated as you treat your pet.

CONTACT "ANIMALS FOR LIFE" IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS BUNNY

While in foster care at Animals for Life, Corbin met Keighley, a lovely English spot with the most beautiful butterfly marking on her nose. The two fell in love at first sight, so they are only available as a pair. Again, these are not HRC rabbits. Please use the contact information here if you are interested in learning more about this lovely pair.
Corbin is an adult male rabbit who enjoys petting, is always inquisitive, and is looking for a family of his own. Corbin came to the shelter after being found as a "stray" in the Middlebury transfer station complex. He was soaking wet after a long night out in the rain and had some minor injuries that we believe were caused by another animal. His eye was infected when he was found, and he has been on antibiotics (he's such a good boy about taking his meds!). Corbin's diet consists mainly of Timothy Hay, Dried Bermuda Grass and fresh greens. He loves banana and apple for a special treat, too! He is always inquisitive, loves attention (though being carried around and hugged are not favorite pass times for most bunnies!
If you are interested in learning more about this wonderful floppy-eared rabbit, please contact Susan Lydem at Animals for Life, Inc. in Middlebury, CT at 203-267-6777(voicemail) or adoptions@animalsforlifect.org
