Bunny Boarding
Making vacation plans? Don't leave bunny with just anyone.
MO HRS does limited boarding at the main foster home using spacious enclosures, high quality food, attention and experienced care. Our rates for members are $10 per day per enclosure. (Quite a deal if you have a bonded pair!) Non-member rates are $12 per day. Food (hay, pellets, greens, treat carrot and/or fruit, fresh water in BOWLS) is provided. If you use a pelleted food we do not have you will be asked to provide that. Evening drop offs and pick ups are usually available as well as Saturdays and Sundays. Please inquire about your specific dates. All proceeds go towards the care of the foster bunnies. You may also contact MO HRS for recommendations on visiting pet sitters in your area experienced in rabbit care.

Update on Stone County Bunnies:
We've had success getting quite a few of the Stone County bunnies transported to others chapters and shelters across the country.
As you recall, the Stone County bunnies were removed from a cruel breeder near Branson, MO on March 19.
Many litters were born to this group.
These delightful big white bunnies need foster homes.

Shelves For Your Bunny Cage
If you attended the Bunny Expo, you saw the shelves we’ve made for bunny cages. The shelves make good use of wasted space in cages by giving bunnies a place to hop, stretch out and view their world. Think of it as a cage loft.
A shelf unit (no assembly required) consists of two wooden supports that span the width of a cage with indents that fit on the sides of the cage, and a piece of tile board that rests on the wooden supports.
To give bunny a soft resting place, I place a towel on the tile board and slip the board into a pillowcase. Sometimes, I use mini binder clips to attach the pillowcase to the tile board.
My bunnies love their shelves!
A shelf unit is $12. We have shelf units in four sizes to fit 42- and 48-inch long Precision (chrome) cages (dog crates, actually), and 42- and 48-inch long Midwest (dark gray) cages. Joy sold Precision cages in the past and has been selling Midwest cages for the last year.
If you think you might like a shelf, email wdaly@sbcglobal.net with the brand name of your cage and its length. If you don’t know the brand name, measure the width.
Don't miss this interesting and educational article featuring HRS St. Louis and Chapter Manager Joy Gioia!
Save your baby food jars:
Thelma uses 4-ounce baby food jars to package her homemade bunny cookies.
Empty jars will be gladly accepted at our meetings or the foster home.
Thanks!
Something New – An Exclusive T-shirt for Members! We are finishing the design of our "Member Tee" and hope to have them ready for you at our March meetings. If you become a member of our chapter, or renew your membership, you will receive a complimentary "Member Tee". This exclusive tee will be a reward for membership; it will not be available for purchase. More details will be forthcoming.
Improvements ongoing at our foster home: If you’ve visited our foster home in recent months, you’ve noticed the new fluorescent lighting and fresh table skirts. Now, we want to replace two, well-worn upholstered couches that we use for bunny dates. We think patio furniture might be a good replacement because we can wash vinyl cushions and vacuum under the pieces. If you intend to get new patio furniture and want to donate your old, please email us. If you can include a photo, that would be terrific. Donations are tax-deductible.
Upcoming Trivia Night: Member Keri Delaloye is organizing a Trivia Night to benefit our chapter. Keri has already produced two and, if you attended, you know Keri produces a first-class event. The topic will be "Pop Culture".
More details to come...
She does nearly all the planning herself, but she needs our help with one task:obtaining items for the Silent Auction. The event is tentatively scheduled for Friday, April 23 so we must acquire our Silent Auction items by the end of March.
Are you - or do you know - a VIP who could donate something wonderful? Perhaps you know a restaurant manager who could donate a dinner for two; a resort owner who could offer a condo for a weekend; a sporting goods store owner who could donate a golf bag; a company that could donate show tickets or sport tickets; a golf course manager who could donate a few rounds of golf. Those are just ideas. If you can obtain an item, please let us know. If you want us to contact a possible donor, please let us know.
As you know, we rely on fundraising to support our bunny rescues as we receive no regular funding from any source, with the exception of Carol House Furniture, which gives us $1,500 a year (Brook and Amy are charitable to many groups devoted to the welfare of animals.)
To see a list of items we hope to obtain from donors, please go to the Volunteer Opportunities page. Hopefully you will be able to help with one or more of these items.
Keri’s Trivia Nights are excellent fundraisers and the Silent Auction is a major part. We welcome any ideas you have for us. Contact: wdaly@sbcglobal.net

YET ANOTHER ANIMAL CONFISCATION IN MISSOURI !
Many species of abused/neglected animals including 133 bunnies!
Click on StClairConfiscation to read story, see video links, photos and how you can help.
Do you have a bunny, bunnies or bunny loving person you adore?
Would like to share a little bit about them on our site and help HRS bunnies at the same time?
We need help with the unexpected expenses incurred with the huge numbers of rescued bunnies HRS is trying to help. So as a "Fun Fundraiser", for a donation of $5.00 per bunny you can send in a photo of your bunny and a paragraph of why he/she is so special to you, how you met, funny, endearing things they do etc. Just share why you love your bunny! Your donation will help homeless bunnies and your testimonials may encourage others to adopt a rabbit. Once they read what a wonderful friend and family member your bunny is, they may decide to adopt one of their own!
Send your photo and paragraph to humanecreations@prodigy.net and your donation to our Paypal account (click on the "Donate" button here) with a note that states it is for "Loved Bunnies" Fundraiser Page & the name of your bunny or person.
Thanks so much for helping us take care of homeless rabbits and for helping encourage others to adopt a bun!
We look forward to seeing your long-eared furkids!
Any bunny who has crossed over to "Rainbow Bridge" is welcome to be included on our Memorials pages for free. Or if you'd like them to be included on the "Loved Bunnies" pages, click on the pink "Loved Bunnies" button for information.
Joy travels to the Bay Area: Our St. Louis chapter manager, Joy Gioia, will join other rabbit care experts from across the country to lecture on March 20th at the HRS "Enhanced Rabbit Health". Joy's topics are "Symptoms and What They Might Mean" and "Diagnostic Tools of the Veterinarian". She will also instruct on how to handle and medicate a sick rabbit. She will be lecturing to HRS national's shelter volunteers, staff members, supervisors and chapter managers. Thanks for educating others. We know you'll do a wonderful job, Joy!
ARE YOU MANAGEMENT MATERIAL? We are looking for members to join select committees that plan our special events. The reward is seeing your good ideas implemented to help the bunnies. If interested email wdaly@sbcglobal.net
