Hello!
Over 25 Years of Rabbit Rescue!
HERE ARE OUR RABBITS
Call us / email us
Adoptable rabbits are taken from shelters/animal care and adoption centers, examined by one of the rabbit-savvy vets who work regularly with HRC and spayed/neutered if not yet performed. Our rabbits are in loving foster home where they are socialized, litter-trained, and prepared for a loving, permanent, indoor adoptive home. Many of our rabbits are bonded pair when possible and are available for adoption only as a bonded couple.
By adopting a rescued rabbit, individuals are giving a bunny a new “leap on life.”
Adoption Fees: $60.00 for a single rabbit/$110.00 for a pair of rabbits.
All rabbits are socialized, spayed/neutered and litter box trained.
We are being VACCINATED or SCHEDULED FOR VACCINATION for RHDV.

WHAT WE DO – ADOPTABLE RABBITS AND RABBIT HEALTH CARE HOPLINE.ORG
We are an all-volunteer, nonprofit corporation with the following goals:
To take in adoptable abandoned rabbits, provide foster care, have them spayed or neutered and find quality, indoor homes for them while also educating the public and other organizations about rabbit care. Hopline.org is here only to help rabbits.
WE ARE A NON PROFIT 501(C)3
The House Rabbit Connection of Massachusetts & Connecticut is a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) corporation and licensed chapter of the House Rabbit Society.
All donations are tax deductible within the extent allowed by law. The hopline is our way of helping rabbits find an indoor home and help the adopters.
WE EXIST BECAUSE RABBITS NEED HELP
Because animal shelters have limited space for rabbits many rabbits face the possibility of euthanasia.
Adopting a rescued rabbit from HRC makes room for another shelter rabbit to be placed in HRC foster care.
NOTE: We do not accept rabbits from the public.
Before you surrender your rabbit to a shelter please read our tips on dealing with common problems.
MARCH 2023
HRC IS IN NEED OF FOSTER HOMES
We have been receiving more calls to take in abandoned rabbits, so we are looking to expand our current foster network. The only way we can save abandoned bunnies is with great foster homes. We are looking for homes in the Springfield, MA/Hartford, CT area that can foster a rabbit or pair until they are adopted. Please consider opening your home and fostering a wonderful rabbit! For more information contact us at info@hopline.org or 413-439-7HRC.
SERIOUS HEALTH NEWS VACCINATIONS FOR RABBITS
We are attempting to get our rabbits vaccinated. All of our rabbits – our own rabbits in our homes and our foster rabbits in our homes. Contact us. We can give you information on where to go and where clinics and appointment options for vaccine availability.
