 I have always had a love for dogs and the welfare of animals. My family and I have fostered for Woof Love Rescue, an Animal Aid receiving rescue, for the last six years. My husband Sam and have a son in college and three rescues – Abbey Road, Penny Lane and Sexy Sadie.

It refreshes my soul going on transport to Georgia as often as I can to help prepare the puppies/dogs for transport north and to spend time with the Georgia team. I have met so many incredible people along my rescue journey – they are my rescue family!

As a middle school teacher, I educate my students about rescue, adopting not shopping and how to be a responsible pet owner. We often discuss how important it is to consider the commitment needed to properly care for a pet before getting a pet in our after school dog club.
