Hi there! My name is Rachel. I founded this rescue in April 2017. My goal for the first year was to rescue 10 rabbits and have 3 foster homes. Within the first year we rescued 80+ rabbits and had 12+ foster homes! I am beyond amazed with the support and need there is for a rabbit rescue in Iowa. I live with my wonderful husband, Nathan (the treasurer of the rescue!), our four rescue bunnies (Sally, Oliver, Panda, and Judy) and our rescue cockatiel (Digby). We also often have other foster rabbits living with us as well. Its a busy life and we love it! When I am not working on the rescue, you can find me crafting in one form or another!
Diana Director and Foster Coordinator, Eastern Iowa
Hey everybunny! I'm Diana, the Eastern Iowa foster coordinator of A Home For EveryBunny and one of the main fosters for the rescue. I first learned about house rabbits when I met my husband and his adorable pair of bonded buns, Mikel and Sierra, and it wasn't long before I was head over heels in love with both 😉 Meeting them was what kicked off my journey down the proverbial "rabbit hole" and led me to volunteer at the local animal shelter. After a series of rather fortunate events, I joined up with Rachel to help get A Home For EveryBunny started and have been helping her manage it ever since. I've been so amazed at how quickly the rescue has grown, and I'm so excited to have found such a wonderful group and cause to be a part of! To support my rabbit habit, I work as a clinical staff pharmacist at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. When I'm not working at the hospital or doing rescue stuff, I like to read, play video games, build puzzles, garden, and go for walks. My husband and I currently live in Eastern Iowa with our 4 forever floofs, Winston, Belle, Oliver, and Alphie, and a constant stream of fosters. I think that about sums it up!
Erin Assistant, Treasurer, Foster Coordinator Central Iowa
Hi EveryBunny, I’m Erin! I started fostering for A Home for EveryBunny in July 2018, and in September 2019 I was asked to serve as the Central Iowa Foster Coordinator. Even though I’ve had house rabbits for over 10 years, I feel like I’m always learning something new through the rescue.
My day job is at the Iowa State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory as a Diagnostic Associate. My husband and I have a beagle and two rabbits of our own, but many foster bunnies most of the time.
Alyssa Secretary, Events and Volunteer Coordinator
Hey EveryBunny! Alyssa, the Eastern Iowa Events and Fundraising Coordinator here. :) I got involved with A Home for EveryBunny in 2018 with my first foster (and now forever!) bunny, Smokey. As I became more involved in the rescue, I joined the board and work to coordinate events, as well as sending out the monthly email newsletters.
My husband and I have two other lop-eared bunnies, who, along with Smokey, make up an adorable trio of buns. In our free time, we love traveling and enjoying the performing arts.
