Aug 9, 2023 Westford, MA – The House Rabbit Network is pleased to announce that it received two grants that will support efforts to establish spay and neuter services and purchase additional cages to expand their ability to shelter rabbits while they await permanent adoption.

HRN received $10,000 from the Marion & Richard Graham Foundation which will be used to purchase easy to clean, mobile, ultralight cages to be placed in the new shelter space opened last summer in Westford, MA.

HRN received $9,430 from the Massachusetts Animal Coalition (MAC) which will be used to pay for spay and neuter services for rabbits onsite at the shelter in Westford. The funds are made possible by MAC’s “I’m Animal Friendly” license plate program. These license plates can be obtained through the Massachusetts RMV. All of HRN’s rabbits are spayed and neutered before being adopted.

“We are thrilled to have been awarded both of these grants which will help us in our mission to permanently place rabbits into loving homes” said Suzanne Trayhan, president.
