FOR THE LOVE OF DOG
Companionship, purpose, and love.
My journey began with a best-friend. From there I found myself fostering, volunteering, training, and rescuing for two decades…
With St. Pete Paws, you can rest easy knowing that your dog is in experienced and loving hands.

Meet Your Dog’s New BFF
I was born and raised in St. Louis, MO and earned a BA in Art History and Anthropology. While raising my son, I did a lot of volunteering in my hometown community, the arts scene, animal advocacy, and my son’s Scout troop.
I am now living in St. Pete Beach and am excited to reside in the sun and the sand (good-bye, winter!)

Background
-
Personal Companions
Willow, Niko, Karma, Rusty, Aiko, Arlo, & Kolus. These dogs shaped my adult life and brought me endless love, laughter, and (let’s be real here) challenge.
-
Shelter Volunteer
I’ve volunteered as a dog walker & enrichment buddy for Stray Rescue of St. Louis & Canines in Crisis. This included daily walks & off-site hikes.
-
Foster Parent
I’ve fostered over 40 dogs (big, small, adult, senior, puppy, behavioral issues). My job was to prepare them for permanent homes through training & routine.
-
Networking
I spent a decade helping to reduce the euthanasia rates in rural Missouri by working directly with officers. Our efforts helped to save over 6,000 lives.
