Rachel Mairose
Rachel Mairose is the Executive Director and Founder of The Bond Between, formerly Secondhand Hounds, an animal (& human) wellbeing organization based in Minnesota. Rachel has been animal crazy from a young age and fell in love with animal rescue during her time at Washington University in St. Louis, where she earned her degree in Environmental Conservation. Having been diagnosed with anxiety disorder and panic disorder, Rachel is passionate about mental health and the benefits of being around animals. Because of this, The Bond Between has a holistic approach to animal welfare and believes that animals should be kept in their loving homes whenever possible. The Bond Between is a unique organization that combines an animal rescue, social services programs, and a veterinary center together which results in one common goal: fostering the human animal bond through adoption, reunification, and outreach.
