Meet the team of volunteers that cares for the Bobtails rabbits and guinea pigs. If you come and visit us you'll be able to spot who's who!

Delia
I'm Delia, welcome to our home, our dream and sometimes our nightmare! If you've read the website you would see that we have always been concerned with animal welfare but didn't have the space to work with larger or wild animals, so that's how our motto was formed, "we can't do all that we want, so we will do what we can." So now we are doing what we can by helping these much misunderstood smaller animals to be appreciated and educate people of their needs. In addition to all the animals I'm mum to our two wonderful children Bradley and Laura, and married to my amazing husband and soul mate Jim, we've been together since 1970, still sharing our dreams. My other passion is riding my Harley Davidson, when I get time! I would also like to thank all our volunteers and supporters, we could not do without you. We love what we do and only wish we could do more. Thank you for your time.

Jim
I'm Jim, I share my life with my children, my wonderful wife and 130 + animals and a house full of volunteers, hay, straw, toys and paper work! Gone are the days of lazing around at the weekend or even the evenings! When the weather is nice and we are not up to our ears in bunnies and piggies, our choice of relaxation is to go riding on our Harleys. I guess if you've read the 'news page' on the website you will see that I enjoy writing poetry and when the going get tough I put my thoughts down on paper (see the news article on 20/07/05.) Thank you to everyone that's ever re-homed a Bobtails animal, made a donation or helped out. The centre grows each year and we couldn't do this without your support. Thank you.

Alison
I was introduced to Bobtails through Claire who runs the Doe Drop Inn rabbit hotel in Frimley. I needed someone special to look after my rabbit Bonnie whilst I was away on holiday and choose the Doe Drop Inn because Claire worked for Bobtails, a charity that I had heard about whilst working at Wildlife Aid in Leatherhead. When I collected Bonnie after my holiday Claire mentioned that it might be nice if Bonnie had a husband to keep her company. On visiting Bobtails to find her a partner I was so impressed by Jim and Delia’s efforts to find homes for hundreds of unwanted bunnies that I jumped at the chance to help them with their work.

Pat
Hi, I’m Pat and I first came to Bobtails in April 05 to find a girlfriend for my first house rabbit – and I’m still here! My husband Roy and I currently share our home with a pair of rabbits called Queenie and Percy. And two guinea pigs called Fred and Flora. They are all rescue animals from Bobtails.

Will & Sarah
We live with our ex-Bobtails house bunnies Jemima and Scally. We have been volunteering at Bobtails for about five years. We help out at Bobtails at the weekend. We also keep the website up to date and manage and run the Bobtails eBay shop (we have channelled our obsession from buying to selling) and the Bobtails Youtube page. You will find us most Sundays taking photos of the bunnies and guineas (or trying to) so that we can update the adoption pages on the website between talking to visitors to the centre. Sir Parsley, the roving ambassador for Bobtails, and his sidekick Rhubarb, have also accompanied us to Las Vegas, The Maldives, Italy, Loch Ness and on three 'round the world' trips (or 'world tours') to help raise money for Bobtails, where they showed us a very good time and met some celebrities on the way! Our friends think we are completely nuts, as we have everything ‘bunnified’ from ‘beware of the rabbits’ signs in several languages and designs to an interesting range of bunny garden ornaments ... we are just mad about buns!

Lisa
Of course I am the younger, better looking of the team with the fast, sporty car. Tee hee! Who loves to party but find the hangovers hard to coupe with. I live in Ash Vale, Hampshire with my partner Shawn, Dougall Poo, Maisy Moo, Rory the (not so) horrible and the new arrival Scarlet (bunnies not babies). I have been a part of Bobtails for nearly two years and have had a lot of good times but some sad times. Gone are the days of doing DIY or just vegging on a Sunday watching the Eastenders omnibus, now its full of fluff, wee and poo (love nuggets).

Nadine
I came to Bobtails in Jan 06 to find ONE bunny and adopted 4! I also volunteer on a Sunday, foster bunnies and help with fundraising. I have a very tolerant hubby who helps me clean them out as I have back problems and a fantastic 7 yr old who helps out too. I share my house with a cat and a fish (Nautilus) and occasionally find my rabbits snuggled up with the cat on the sofa. Ah!

Shirley
Hi, I’m Shirley and I first came to Bobtails in 2005 looking for a girlie for my gorgeous Nethie Dwarf/Dutch bunny, Bun Bun - very original, I know! Bun Bun is my first ever bun and was found abandoned and wandering in a lane just off the M25. Since adopting the lovely Guinness as his partner, I have acquired just a few more along the way and at last count there were 22, all house bunnies!! I also have two German Shepherd girlies to keep me busy when I’m not chopping up food or up to my eyes in litter trays and hay bales! I help out with fostering, home checking, bonding and on Sunday open days, as and when I can. Rabbits have totally changed my life and I feel so very privileged to have shared in the life of each and every bunny that I have cared for.

Sarah
Hi, I'm Sarah. I have volunteered at Bobtails for about 3 years. I first went to Bobtails to get a companion for my own guniea pig but, instead got 2. Since then the number of guinea pigs has grown from 3 to 6 after my DAD fell in love with Widgeon (a little foster guinea pig which we renamed Whizz). What a hypocrite - he said that we aren't allowed any more guinea pigs and he gets some instead. Unfair or what!

Kyle & Helen
We came to Bobtails 3 years ago looking for a girlfriend for our house bunny, Craig. It was love at first sight when he met Rilly, and soon after the newly-weds came home we started volunteering. This has had the unexpected side effect that our lounge has been described as a giant hutch, our small garden is now even smaller thanks to the big shed we built for new arrival buns Pod and Fred to live in, and eating at the dining room table is a distant memory now that it is home to piggies Eddy, Gigi and Mac. Rabbits are such amazing animals and so misunderstood, we were very impressed at the message that Bobtails are trying to get across and wanted to be part of that.

Tracey
Hi I'm Tracey. I have been working as a veterinary nurse since 1999 and heard about Bobtails through a collegue. I first came to Bobtails in January 2008. I have 2 of my own rabbits - a very handsome dutch Bun Jovi and a crazy lion head cross dwarf lop Callie. They share their home with 4 cats Poppy, Maddie, Evie and Charlie and any any animals I can convince my parents to foster.

Claire
Hello fellow bunny lovers! I'm Claire and I am just crazy about rabbits! I am the proud owner of one very spoilt dwarf lop eared house rabbit called Jules, a dog, 2 hamsters and 2 fish. During the week, I work as a nursery nurse and most Sundays I help out at Bobtails. Volunteering at Bobtails is heaven for me as I can work with my favourite animals, plus find them loving homes at the same time. My volunteer work involves cleaning out hutches, feeding and grooming rabbits & guinea pigs as well as giving advice to potential bunny parents. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Hi, I'm Janice - I first came to Bobtails in 2009 and just fell in love with the place! I live with my two ex-Bobtails house bunnies Chloe and George and a very patient boyfriend who limits the number of bunnies I'm allowed (I do keep trying though)! Sunday is without a doubt my favourite day of the week and I can honestly say that Bobtails is my haven!! I love nothing better than spending my time with all the gorgeous bunnies and somewhat crazy volunteers! You will find me most Sundays cuddling the buns and giving advice to potential adoptive parents. The best part of the day is finding the right home for our bunnies and piggies so I look forward to meeting you!
