On
May 15th of 2007 I lost my beautiful Siberian Husky, Stoli, to
canine cancer. He was just 7 years old. I will never know if I could have given
him more quality time or a chance of a cure had I been more educated and aware.
I have been involved in animal welfare for several years. I volunteered at a
wildlife rescue, Safe
Haven, where we worked to rescue and rehabilitate orphaned and
injured wildlife as well as provide a permanent home for animals that could not
be released back in to the wild. I have also volunteered and fostered for Northern
Lights Sled Dog Rescue.
I have received FEMA Certification encompassing Animals in Disaster:
Awareness, Preparedness & Community Planning. I also volunteer for the United
Animal Nations Emergency Animal Rescue
Service (E.A.R.S.).
Stoli
inspired me to become a Pet CPR & First Aid Instructor to raise the awareness of pet
owners and to give them the skills necessary in the event of an emergency. Not all injuries or disease can be predicted or prevented but I hope to educate
and enable pet owners to become more informed and aware of their pet’s health.
We
are, and choose to be, the ‘parents’ of these animals. It is our obligation
to provide them with the best care and quality of life possible.

The
first dog that I ever adopted was a 7 month old Dalmatian, Sudsie, who
taught me many valuable lessons in her 14 ½ years. She was
paralyzed for the last year and a half of her life and she still continued
to give that unconditional love in spite of her malady. She was my
heart and my inspiration.
I
have been involved in animal rescue for several years now…mainly
northern breed rescue, and have served on the board of directors for Northern
Lights Sled Dog Rescue.
I also volunteer for IAMRA and Adopt-A-Husky and have fostered dogs for some of these organizations as
well.
I
am a trained volunteer for United
Animal Nations
and Noah's Wish with direction on emergency rescue and disaster relief for animals
in crisis. I have also
received FEMA certification focused on disaster preparedness.
Being in rescue, you see a
lot of things happen to dogs, and other animals, that you would rather not
know about at all. Being able to take a dog out of a bad situation
and find him, or her hope, is a wonderful thing. But, knowing that
you have the knowledge and ability to actively help a dog, or cat, in an
emergency situation brings rescue to the next level. Be it a rescue
animal, or a family companion, those precious hearts deserve the best that
we have to offer them. My goal is to help supply other people with
the training they need to be able to help their animals, and other
animals, if and when that emergency situation arises
