OUR STAFF
As a loving mother of my own dog, cat and horse, I know it is nice for animals to stay in their environment to make it as less stressful and avoid viruses that may come from them staying in at a kennel or barn. I have five years’ experience in dog rescue and several years’ experience in horse rescue. One of my fellow volunteers once said, “volunteering at an equine rescue with 46 horses for 1 year, gives you more experience than owning your own horse for 10 years”. You see many medical issues you get to help with and also learn to be calm in an emergency environment. You also have hands on experience mucking lots of stalls! Though I have owned 3 of my own horses, this gave me more experience than I could have ever imagined and the same with dog rescue. I have owned several rescued dogs and cats that had diseases ranging from epilepsy to cancer and understand the importance of meds and gentle, loving care. I have a years’ experience as a vet tech and am also certified in small animal CPR. – Kristen Peterson
We have a respected, reliable and experienced staff that will bond with your pets and treat them any way you ask them to so that they can stay as close to their regular life and schedule. We will send you the person that best fits your needs. Our staff is versatile, from horse trainers, volunteers from rescues, those that have grown up with horses and managed barns to small animal vet techs and even a nanny.
