I’ve been a loyal volunteer to the shelter for well over 13 years- even met my husband here! I am active with both the cats and dogs at the shelter. I am part of the dog and cat medical teams, regularly performing routine care to keep our costs down and our animals healthy and ready for adoption! I have helped start playgroups and the doggy day out program to help enrich the lives of the dogs at the shelter. I am part of the transfer team. I regularly bring in family friendly animals so we at P.A.W.S. can find their fur-ever home! Many of the animals have never known the joy of a family, and it’s so rewarding to be able to give that to them. I am a foster coordinator for both cats and dogs, and I of course foster myself! I created the P.A.W.S. Tinley Park stray page to help reunite lost pets, and manage the P.A.W.S. Facebook page. I have assisted with Wags to riches fundraiser and headed the Valentine and Giving Tuesday fundraisers. P.A.W.S. is a big part of my life.

My time at P.A.W.S. of Tinley Park over the past 13 years has shown me that saving animals is truly my passion. During this time I have been head of shift on Monday afternoon for 11 years, assistant head of shift on Friday nights for 2 years, and I perform temperament testing that is required prior to adoption for 4 years. My most memorable experience helping P.A.W.S. of Tinley Park was after Hurricane Harvey when I rescued 18 dogs/cats from flooded shelters in Houston. We filled the van to capacity which included one dog sitting on our laps for the 16 hour drive home.
Not only do I have a business and medical background, with a BS in Nursing and in electrical engineering, but also 23 years of experience as an owner/operator of JB’s Ranch which is a horse boarding facility. I have fostered over 40 dogs, including several that required extra medical attention prior to adoption.
