I have always been an animal lover: From horseback, dogs, birds, bunnies, hamsters, etc. I currently own two Potcake dogs from St. Lucia and a parakeet. I began volunteering in Animal Rescue in November 2022. I am passionate about saving the lives of stray dogs in the Caribbean and volunteer heavily with To The Rescue, Inc., Paradise Rescue and Save A Friend P.R.- Puerto Rico, and support the Humane Society of St. Thomas, USVI. The tasks that I assist with include: Administration, operations, creating structure, marketing/social media marketing, website promoting, recruiting volunteers, coordinating transports/planning travel logistics, fostering, collecting donations, engaging with adopters, reviewing/approving applicants, maintaining relationships with partnered affiliates, providing various lines of communication, team building, adoption event assistance, offer basic training methods, and assist other rescuers where applicable. Since I have dedicated myself to these sweet, deserving dogs from the islands, I have transported/fostered/lined up/homed 50+ dogs with the continuation of saving more. Additionally, I volunteered at the Humane Society of St. Thomas, USVI in September 2023 by providing support throughout the shelter, delivering donations, and spreading awareness. Healthcare, safety, and being detail oriented are critical in the line of rescue. I am a planner, routine worker, and express the impact of consistency. I go above and beyond with communication and proactive methods, ensuring my dogs/fosters are on time with their vaccinations and monthly preventatives. A meaningful piece of rescue and caring for any animal is teaching them how to trust, love, and grow their confidence. The most important part is becoming their voice and placing an impact on the lives in need of saving.
