As far back as I can remember, I have loved animals. I had my first pony at birth, and got my first horse at 6 years old, though I rode other people’s horses before then. I remember rescuing all kinds of animals growing up. I even once got a wild pigeon to sit on my arm, much to my mothers dismay. My nickname growing up was Dr. Doolittle as everyone thought I had a special way with animals. It should be no surprise, then, that I have a career involving them as well. I am the head veterinary technician at High Ridge Animal Hospital.

I had worked in dog rescue for years, and when we moved to the country I started taking in farm animals. I have a heart for neglected, abused and unwanted animals. My husband made my dream come true of starting my own rescue in 2015. We have been able to save a lot of animals. I couldn’t do what I do without the support of my husband, kids, and amazing board members!

I grew up in the country in a little town in IL. I have always had a love for animals, we had horses when I was young! I worked various office jobs thru the years while raising my son by myself. I got married to my wonderful husband when I was 37 and moved to MO. I quit my job and became a full time babysitter for my grandkids for close to 13 yrs. which I loved doing! I am at a point in my life that I can pursue a passion I have always had…helping animals! I help the rescue in any way that is needed!

I’ve had a soft place in my heart for animals since I was a child and brought home several strays that I told my mother “just followed me home.” I love being part of an organization that rescues and rehabilitates neglected animals, and finds new forever homes where they can receive the love and nurturing that they deserve.
