Meet Aunt Jill

After volunteering in the dog rescue community for nearly 15 years and fostering more than 300 dogs in my home, I took the plunge and walked away from a high dollar corporate sales gig, that was sucking my soul dry, to make a career out of doing what I love–which is caring for, snuggling and playing with dogs!

I recently lost my first dog, Mia, to cancer.  She is the Shepherd mix in the photo, my first dog and the one that started it all and helped me realize my life’s mission – my commitment to the pet industry, dog rescue and pet owner education.  RIP sweet girl!
