The Bunny Runner


			Volume 5, Issue 2 - May 2005 Additions Fifty-nine bunnies have arrived at the shelter during the past three months. Because there are so many new bunnies, we haven’t been able to photograph them, and our descriptions here are very short. Eventually, you will be able to see all of them on the Colorado HRS web site with more complete descriptions.
