How long have you been with HWMAR and how did you get involved with the rescue?

I have been with HWMAR since 2015. I started as a foster, and after immediately keeping the dog we were fostering, I was asked to join the Board of Directors.

What do you do for the rescue?

I currently serve as the Board President and have been in this role for about five years, after previously serving as Vice President. Along with our dedicated board members, I help oversee the rescue and ensure that everything runs smoothly. We’re fortunate to have an incredible group of volunteers who handle the day-to-day care of the animals, and as a board, our focus is on supporting them and providing the resources they need to continue our mission.

What do you love about this organization?

What's not to love - we are all working towards a common goal of rescuing animals. We are a rescue family.

What do you love about your job?

I love seeing that all the pieces we’ve worked so hard to put together over the years have helped the rescue grow and flourish. Watching an animal go from scared and uncertain to happy and loved in a forever home fills my heart every time. Knowing that we’ve played a part in giving them a second chance and building a community that believes in that mission is what makes it all so meaningful to me. 

Is there anything else you would like people to know?

GET INVOLVED! We are always looking for volunteers who want to help us make a difference.
