I first got involved in rescue right after college when I adopted my puppy Scooby, a chow chow/collie mix, from the SPCA in Roxbury, MA and then started volunteering there. One soon became two when Angus (the cocker) joined our little pack.

After I graduated from college, I knew I was ready to adopt a dog. After a few months of searching, I finally ended up on Lucky Dog's website and decided to submit an application.

Growing up in Northern VA, my family always had a dog. But to be honest, animal rescue was never foremost in my mind.

Every life we save, every dog and cat we are able to rescue, is thanks to a Lucky Dog foster.

I was born and raised in El Salvador with 2 rabbits and a black lab named Oso (which means bear in English). I have always loved animals in general since I was a kid.

I have loved dogs since I was a very young. I begged my parents for a dog for years as a kid and they finally caved and we introduced Lucky into our lives.

Dogs have been a part of my life since the very beginning. My parents first brought me home to a motherly pitbull by the name of Halley who treated me as one of her puppies.

I was the eldest child born into a family of 2 dogs. My family almost always had dogs, but I grew up primarily with the dog my parents still have, a sheltie named Truman.

I have been involved with animal rescue most of my life starting as a child. My mom ran the adoption program at a high kill southern shelter.
