Meet the Volunteers

Diana Leggett, President
Diana has been an animal advocate since she was a child, and has been doing animal rescue for over 25 years. Drawing on the love she has of nature and animals, she has poured all of her energy into establishing WildRescue, Inc./Rabbit Rescue. Diana runs Wildbuns, a mailing list for cottontail rehabilitators across the US, and has spoken at wildlife conferences and seminars.  She also offers classes on mammal species and emergency care for wildlife, and of course can be seen at area Petcos and other locations doing adopt-a-rabbit monthly events.

Karen Hill, Adoption Coordinator
Karen has been adopting rabbits from WildRescue for over ten years, after being re-introduced to having rabbits as a pet by a roommate. After being involved in her local community library and Parks and Recs boards, she began to look for animal rescue  volunteer opportunities. Together with her husband she began volunteering with Rogers Wildlife and WildRescue. A few years ago, Karen became WildRescue’s Adoption Coordinator. When not volunteering, Karen spends time with her bunnies Modano and Ginger.

Bridget Bishop, Volunteer Coordinator
Bridget is a true lifelong bunny fan. She grew up in a house with two rabbits and now has one of her own, a Dutch named Cookie. She discovered Wild Rescue while researching rabbit care and adoption online. The first time Bridget visited WildRescue, she had a sick bunny in tow. Diana graciously treated the baby rabbit and Bridget knew she wanted to be a part of the organization. She began volunteering for Wild Rescue in 2009, maintaining bunny environments, feeding the rabbits, learning how to care for injured wild and domestic animals, and recruiting fellow volunteers. Bridget has a B.A. in Communication Studies and began graduate school in Fall 2010.
