Environment & Nature<br />
I was the child who brought everyone<br />
home. A magnet for neighbourhood<br />
stray cats, abandoned baby skunks, the<br />
injured fox, the dog in need of a home<br />
and then I grew up and disc<strong>over</strong>ed<br />
rescue. My passion and advocacy for<br />
homeless animals, especially dogs has<br />
been my battle and cause for <strong>over</strong><br />
twenty years.<br />
My journey began with a breed specific rescue and soon grew<br />
to saving everyone from the littlest of Chihuahuas to the<br />
Greatest of Danes. I am President and co-founder of The Dog<br />
Rescuers Inc., our work is volunteer but the reward is<br />
priceless! I am blessed to work with a wonderful team, all<br />
committed and dedicated to saving these precious lives. We<br />
save the dogs that people have cast aside, no longer want,<br />
we love them and work hard to find the perfect family to call<br />
their own. I have seen the horrors of what man can do, cried<br />
tears for the precious lives who we could not save, their abuse<br />
beyond repair. I have cried tears of joy and happiness when<br />
the laws have served justice for these brave souls or we have<br />
placed a sweet loving dog into the arms of a family <strong>over</strong> the<br />
moon with excitement. The battle for homeless pets is my<br />
passion and I am proud and honoured to make a difference in<br />
their lives.<br />
