Rescue Dog Volunteer
I spend as much time as I can volunteering for local animal shelters, rescues, and fostering or adopting rescue dogs. I have fostered over 20 dogs so far, adopted 7 - mostly seniors. I've cared for them through multiple surgeries and illnesses. I've transitioned some from terrible situations to wonderful lives. I've volunteered at farm animal sanctuaries, donated when I can to various animal rescue organizations, and contributed to animal welfare causes by fund raising and through advocacy work.
