I’m Bonnie Keller, and I have operated VARR since 1999. I was also the founder of the NH Herptile Society and Rescue. I have had articles  published in various newspapers, and was the technical editor for Melissa Kaplan's Iguanas for Dummies (IDG books, 2000). I also wrote an article in Reptile and Amphibian Hobbyist that was published in August of 2000. In addition, I have been a consultant for and provided assistance to local, state, and federal authorities in cases of abuse/neglect, and confiscation cases. None of this would be possible without the support and guidance of my husband, Rich, who has been with me since the early days of this rescue.

 

In addition to many furry pets, we have a son in preschool, and are foster parents.

 

We are both teachers, and enjoy working with young people. We look forward to opening a summer camp someday where we can continue to pass on their appreciation for both the outdoors, as well as the fun that technology offers.

 

For several months in 2008, VARR was operated by Dawn and Martainn. We appreciate deeply the assistance they provided in maintaining VARR during that time.
