May Bunny of the Month
Esther
A woman had established a rescue organization called "Little Bit o' Love" in Carpenter, WY. Sadly, she had little help, but couldn't say "no" to animals who were to be killed in animal shelters.
Eventually, there were just too many animals without adequate care. So "Little Bit o' Love" was shut down. Esther was one of 19 rabbits who came from there.
She is missing her left eye, so she can't see you if you approach her from that side, so she needs you to be mindful of that so she isn't startled. She also has one of those cute little personality quirks we love to see in our bunns and don't mind indulging in the least. For some odd reason, she just loves to sit in one of the large crocks. She is a little bit little shy, but she does enjoy being petted. "If you decide to love me and take me home with you, will you please be sure to get me a nice big crock so I can feel safe and comfortable?"
The Colorado House Rabbit Society is licensed by the National House Rabbit Society. We are a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization made up entirely of volunteers. There are no paid positions. Every penny of all donations goes to helping the rabbits. We have two purposes:
rescue
and
education.
The Colorado House Rabbit Society offers affectionate, litter-trained, spayed or neutered rabbits for adoption. We also offer education about rabbits, through our extensive collection of on-line Articles, through books and DVDs found available for purchase on our on-line Gift Shop, such as our "Rabbit Packet", the "House Rabbit Handbook", and others - providing the best in up-to-date information on living with and caring for House Rabbits. Our free, fun, four-hour Tune-up Class is also available, teaching hands-on health and grooming information.

Visit our Loved and Missed section with tributes from our members. Send one of your own if you'd like.
We also offer a class to help people learn to handle their rabbits safely, to perform basic maintenance (clipping nails, cleaning scent pockets, etc.), and to catch problems before they become major. This class is free to anyone who has adopted a rabbit from any animal shelter. For dates when classes will be held and to schedule your place, go to
Bunny Tune-Up Class.

St. Paws is an organization that raises money for small rescue organizations by running a thrift shop at 3275 E. Platte, in Colorado Springs. They have made the Colorado HRS one of their approved organizations. Please support them (and us, as well as other small rescue groups) by shopping there. Following the first quarter of business in 2012, they gave each of their rescues $1,000!
