Why Looking Glass Animal Rescue: If there has been once constant in my life it has been my passion for saving animals. I was the child who always had one eye on what I was doing and the other on the lookout for an animal in need. There was no animal too big or too small and as long as I had air in my lungs, I would find a way to make life better for an animal who found themselves in a desperate situation. I was every parents’ nightmare…you never knew “what” I was coming home with after returning from a day out of the house! Having previously been a managing partner of IMAGINE pet rescue, I was able to channel that sense of purpose by participating in the rescue of many animals in need. Today, I am privileged to take that purpose even farther as the co-founder of Looking Glass Animal Rescue; building a rescue that is authentic, transparent, accountable and self-aware. I will be their voice, their strength, their courage and their comfort; I will never turn my back. I am a woman, a wife, a mother, a friend and an animal rescuer and I would not have it any other way.
