Karen has been a stalwart, caring dog lover, owner, & surrogate for the nine years I have known her. She is family oriented and value driven, with deep moral convictions that steer her decision making toward health, safety, awareness, engagement, intervention, prevention and joy. In every public and private aspect of her life from her loving home through her church membership to her commitment to educate the next generation of young leaders, Karen embodies the spirit of “the Good Samaritan” and as Former President George W. Bush implored, she is one of a thousand points of light that illuminate what is best in America.

Karen has dog sit my Maltese Sparkle many times. She is great with her and provided excellent care. Sparkle adores her and is always so excited when she sees Karen. I highly recommend her.
