In early December a group of volunteers gathered at a local home and put together Secret Santa bags for the foster rabbits currently being cared for by the Indiana House Rabbit Society. All the hard work was definitely appreciated by the foster rabbits, who are currently enjoying their treats and playing with their new toys.

Full Housing Set-up for Donation to IHRS
Many pets are acquired by families between November 1st and January 15th each year. In recognition of this adoption trend, the Helen Woodward Foundation each year sponsors the “Home for the Holidays (H4TH)” adoption initiative. In H4TH, homeless pets in shelters or rescue groups are matched with their forever families.
Indiana HRS has participated in H4TH for 4 years, with 20-30% of all adoptions occurring during the holiday season. In 2008/20009, Indiana HRS is offering a full housing set-up to qualified adopters in exchange for a donation to our group. A full housing set-up consists of the following items:
Cage, Expen, or NIC Grids to build your own cage (the rabbit’s foster care provider can provide a recommendation)
2 litterboxes (1 for inside housing set-up, 1 for run time)
Food crock
Water crock
The minimum donation for the housing set-up is based upon how long a particular rabbit has been in foster care:
> 3 years: $10
2-3 years: $25
1-2 years: $50
< 1 year: $75
Even at the highest price, this is a considerable bargain!
Please help one of our foster rabbits fulfill their Christmas dream of being in a forever home! Please note that the housing set-ups are mostly located in Indianapolis.
Keep it a secret from the bunnies!
