Since a young child, Eleanor always had a dog by her side. Now she is the proud Mama to two dogs, both rescue, and one from Georgia! Eleanor became involved in Animal Aid USA in April of 2016, when she was asked by her daughter to replace a last minute cancellation of a transport team member. Initially concerned, as she was still exhausted from a recent drive from Florida, but she agreed to made her first trip as a caravan team member and has never looked back. Eleanor is mostly impacted by the diverse group of caring people who show compassion and work so hard to save the precious dogs that are unwanted in Georgia. She says she feels humbled and blessed to be a part of Animal Aid USA.
