If you've been looking for an excellent synthetic sheepskin pad that will keep your special-needs bunny comfortable and dry, NYC HRS Chapter Manager, Mary Cotter, reports that Palace Pet (www.palacepet.com) is a great resource for this item: "The product comes in two different densities and holds up very well when laundered."

Every order placed, using a special "referral code," earns you a 5% discount and can result in a 15% donation to HRS. The National HRS referral code is 12200. To use it, follow these six steps:

1. Enter the Palace Pet "order" page (www.palacepet.com)
   
2. Choose the color, size, and quantity of pads you wish to order
   
3. Disregard the pull-down menu of charities! (HRS is not listed there, because we have our own separate code, which gets you, the customer, a discount, as well as assuring that a percentage of your sale will go to HRS).
   
4. Highlight "The House Rabbit Society" as the charity of your choice; this earns HRS a 5% donation
   
5. Next, insert the HRS referral code (12200) in the box provided; this earns you a 5% discount on your order, and gives HRS an additional 10% donation.
   
6. Complete other steps to calculate cost and execute your order
