Welcome to the August e-bulletin of the House Rabbit Network!

We won! Thank you for voting to help us win the $1,000 prize in the
Animal Rescue Challenge, sponsored by Petfinder! The money goes a
long way toward helping the buns. Thank you!!!

The annual Summer Bunny Bash is less than 2 weeks away! It will be
held in Wilmington on Sunday, August 16, at 1:00 p.m.! Traditionally,
we have a potluck. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come – you just
have to be willing to share bunny stories with fellow guests! If
you're interested in attending, send us an email to sign up and
for directions: info@.... This is a great way to meet
new bunny friends!

August's Bun of the Month is Onyx! Onyx is a cute dwarf bunny. He
seems much larger in his picture than he really is. Onyx loves
attention; you can start petting him and he puts his head down and
takes all the lovin' you can give. This is quite a turnaround for
him – when he first arrived at the shelter he hated to be touched!
Sometimes he gets a little unsure of things but with lots of love
this little guy should really blossom. He has good litter box habits
and looks forward to his pellets and greens every day.

Save the Date! Our 4th Annual Flatbread Benefit night will be held
on Tuesday, September 29. Flatbread is a unique restaurant that
serves organic pizza, salads and yummy desserts like chocolate
chip banana bread sundaes! On September 29, from 4 to 9 p.m.,
they will donate $3.50 from the sale of every large pizza and $1.75
from every small pizza to HRN. Takeout orders too! So swing by and
eat pizza to support the rabbits! We will also be holding a prize
auction with lots of neat prizes.

HRN is looking for donations for the prize auction we are holding
during our benefit night. If you would like to make a basket, let
us know! You can be creative with themes - movie night, lotions,
romance night – use your imagination! Or if you have a business
and can donate services or products, that would be great. Do you
have any new, unused gift cards that you don't want? We can use
them too!

Come visit HRN at our upcoming education events:
Aug. 1 - Petco, Woburn, MA, 12-3
Aug. 13 - The Blue Bunny, 577 High St., Dedham, MA, 11-2
Sept. 12 - Tufts Open House, Grafton, MA, 11-3

Did you know that HRN has a newsletter and membership? We have a
newsletter, Rabbit Tracks, which we publish three times a year,
containing articles on rabbit care and behavior. All HRN members
receive the newsletter, either by regular mail or a pdf via email.
All membership money is used to fund our organization, where our
primary expense is veterinary bills. You can view old versions of
our newsletter online at http://www.rabbitnetwork.org/ Have you
considered an HRN membership? If you've had a membership, is it
time to renew your House Rabbit membership?
