Stefanie's love of dogs began in childhood

and has stayed throughout her life. As an

adult, she began fostering and adopting

rescue dogs, an experience that has been incredibly rewarding. The best dogs she

and her husband ever had came from

shelters. Their unconditional love, loyalty,

and resilience has enriched their lives

in ways they never imagined.

As a child, Sandy's mother would never

allow her to have an animal. So, after

college, she adopted her first cat, that

quickly turned into four cats! One day,

at Taco Bell, a lady was there with

a 5lb. Chihuahua that she was trying

to rehome. It was love at first sight for

both of them, and a decision Sandy

never regretted.

The love of animals, especially cats, was

created in Tracy from as long as she can remember. In all her travels, she has always

come across a cat or two or three that needed some rescuing. Finding forever homes for unwanted cats is a passion of Tracy's. She

and her husband have three of the most

precious, loving, smart cats that they

rescued. They bring them so much joy.  

Romaine loves dogs, so when she was looking

for a meaningful volunteer opportunity in 2021, walking dogs and facilitating adoption events

at the local animal shelter was a logical choice. There she found Frankie, an exceptional companion, avid hiker and great camper.

Frankie lives happily with Romaine and

her husband in Franklin.

Karen's lifelong love of animals began when a friend reached into her pocket and produced her very first kitten. From that time, there was no turning back. Today, Karen and her husband happily serve a four-cat household, where the

cats definitely rule the roost!  When she's not caring for her own brood, she volunteers at the local shelter continuing her love of animals.
