This year at House Rabbit Network has been unlike any we’ve ever experienced. We’ve had a baby boom far beyond anything we anticipated, and every day we’re reminded why we do this work.
We said “yes” to moms like Annie and Clover, who arrived as strays, unaware they were pregnant, and to tiny newborns who needed immediate warmth, safety, and care. We said “yes” to vulnerable litters without mothers, babies who needed syringe feeding, round-the-clock monitoring, and the unwavering dedication of foster parents simply to survive. We said “yes” to medically fragile litters, including an entire group fighting coccidia, knowing the treatment and care would stretch our resources to the limit.
Because the alternative? These babies would have been born alone, cold, sick, or never given a chance at all.
90 babies came into HRN this year looking for a second chance - because people like you make it possible. Sadly, four babies were lost to dysbiosis, a risk motherless litters face, despite the tireless efforts of foster families and veterinary partners. Every surviving baby now needs a spay or neuter surgery before adoption - one baby, one surgery, roughly $275 each.
Every name below represents a baby who was - or still is - being lovingly raised in foster care because HRN exists and because you help make our work possible:
Alohomora, Episkey, Leviosa, Lumos, Patronus, Revelio, Riddikulus, Kanga, Piglet, Pooh, Roo, Tigger, Winnie, Yuki, Campbell, Hershey, Kellogg, Nestle, Sysco, Cider, Corn Maze, Gourd, Hayride, Scarecrow, Cork, Dublin, Galway, Kilkenny, Limerick, Tipperary, Wexford, Tomato, Bell Pepper, Cauliflower, Mackerel, Anchovy, Sardine, Bolton, Cabot, Colchester, Shelburne, Windsor, Woodstock, Cheez-It, Chex, Goldfish, Graham, Keebler, Lance, Melba, Pretzel, Ritz, Saltine, Desktop, Post-it, Stapler, Hole Punch, Paperclip, Abu, Bounce, Downy, Genie, Jafar, Kiara, Maytag, Rajah, Sarabi, Simba, Snuggle, Speed Queen, Tide Pod, Whirlpool, Woolite, Bumper, Zipper, Ferris, Messina, Palermo, Ragusa, Masala, Erice …and nine more babies not yet named, just weeks old.
This week, every dollar you donate is doubled. One $275 donation saves two bunnies. It’s a chance to give these fragile lives a safe, indoor beginning, the love and care they deserve, and a future they would never have had otherwise.
Please help us continue saying “yes” to the most vulnerable lives. Donate today:
