June 5, 2021, Woburn, MA – The House Rabbit Network is pleased to announce that it received a $22,500 grant from the Massachusetts Animal Coalition (MAC) through their “I am Animal Friendly” license plate program. The grant is to be used towards HRN’s spay and neuter services. Because Covid-19 has significantly impacted the availability of spay/neuter services, this has resulted in long waiting lists for cats, dogs and rabbits across Massachusetts. MAC has offered this Emergency Covid-19 Spay/Neuter Grant funding to shelters, rescues, municipal animal control organizations and high volume spay/neuter providers. 

Suzanne Trayhan,  president of tHRN said: “To date, the House Rabbit Network has fixed more than 20 rabbits in the first few weeks since receiving the grant. The support from the Massachusetts Animal Coalition and the public who supports the “I’m Animal Friendly” license plate is crucial. Thank you!” This grant award has been critical in allowing the House Rabbit Network to cover the increased spay and neuter costs incurred due to covid.
