Jacque, Shelter Manager
since May 2022 Having a job working with animals has been my passion since I was 7. I used to shadow my aunt at the Veterinary clinic in the summer and that kick started my love for this field. And, running a rescue has always been a dream, when this job became available, I felt it was time to pursue that dream. I stood with what this rescue believed in and I was ready to help get homeless animals off the streets for good and into the homes they deserved. I have many favorite parts of this job. It’s from rescuing and rehabilitating injured animals to taking time to find the perfect match for the animals and their new homes. Nothing beats spending every day with our Fur Friends and watching them walk out these doors and head into their next great adventure. Outside of work- usually you can catch me creating some form of new memories with my dog Mason. Whether we are exploring a new park, finding an ice cream parlor we have never been too or exploring new backroads that we have never taken before. I am also an avid video gamer and enjoy making new friends around the world while playing! A few fun facts about me- I collect Monopoly games (Currently own over 80), Mason and I are a certified Therapy Team and travel to Nursing homes and Hospitals, and I rescued an off the track Thoroughbred horse and spent summers competing in horse shows around Ohio. |

since May 2022 I am a fellow rescue dog myself and I like coming to a place that helps animals find homes just as I had help finding one myself. I also couldn’t let my mom go to work without me as she would miss me too much as she has terrible separation anxiety. I really enjoying greeting everyone that comes into the building. I also love walking around the events to play security and test out how good everyone is at giving belly rubs. I have to make sure my friends here go to good homes with humans that give top notch pets and ear scratches. I also really love seeing my fellow fur family members get the homes they deserve.
