🏠 About the House Rabbit Network

The House Rabbit Network is a 501c3 organization in the greater Boston area formed in 2000 with two primary purposes: to rescue homeless rabbits and find them good indoor homes, and to educate the public about rabbits and their care. These activities may include:

• Providing foster care: for discarded domestic rabbits and arranging for adoption to permanent, indoor homes.
• Assisting shelters: with rabbits.
• Providing surgical care: through arrangements with area practitioners.
• Rehabilitating rabbits: that have been mistreated or neglected.
