HRN Awarded Grant from “I’m Animal Friendly” License Plate Funds.
WOBURN, MA. Sep 10, 2016 – The House Rabbit Network (HRN) is happy to announce they are a recipient of a 2016 grant from the MA “I’m Animal Friendly” license plate program.

The “I’m Animal Friendly” license plates are a program of the Massachusetts Animal Coalition. Funds are dispersed annually to organizations who demonstrate a need for and provide low-cost spay/neuter services. These funds will allow HRN to spay and neuter approximately 80 rabbits that will then be put up for adoption. Suzanne Trayhan,the President of HRN said “We are thrilled to receive this grant. Most people don’t realize that spaying and neutering is also important for rabbits”. In fact, single female rabbits should be fixed due to the high rate of uterine cancer. Male rabbits, like cats, can spray and be obsessed with finding female rabbits. Fixing them also improves litter box habits and calms them down. Rabbits are also notoriously hard to sex leading to many accidental litters when people believe they have two males or two females.
