"As the county 4-H leader for rabbitry, it wasn’t unheard of for people to contact us when they didn’t want their rabbit anymore. That’s where I would come in. I would speak to people and help them rehome their rabbit with a 4-Her. As time went on, others in the community heard about me and would reach out. Eventually I was getting calls every 10 days or so. It was clearly a regional issue that wasn’t adequately addressed. One summer day, I was on vacation when I received a message from a local veterinarian. A woman had a rabbit who had contracted a parasite and the rabbit was going blind. The woman didn’t want to give eye drops daily and wanted to euthanize even though it was a young rabbit. I let the vet know I’d head home and be back within two days. Rescuing that rabbit made me realize that I had to do something bigger. I was one person with one house with limited space, but if I implemented something bigger than myself we could take in rabbits that needed homes. We could educate people before they even got a rabbit so they knew the commitment. That day, the idea of Hop on Home was born. If I had to give advice to anyone, it would be everyone can make a difference. If you see a problem fix it. Find what you’re good at and find a problem in that niche and fix it. If I can do it, you can do it."
