Hi, my name is Emily! I have one resident dog and her name is Ellie. She is an English Mastiff and basically my child. Yes, I am THAT dog-mom and no, I am not ashamed.
I started volunteering by fostering dogs in 2014, for Christian Service credit when I was a student at Liberty University. Laura (our founder) works at the vet’s office that I take my dog to and she is how I discovered the wonderful world of animal rescue and fostering! Even though I am not a student anymore, I continue to volunteer because it is truly something I enjoy.
I have also drug my parents (Mainly my mom. My dad is just along for the ride) and sister (Morgan) over to the dark side and they have become volunteers/foster parents as well! They currently have two dogs (Jeffery and Charlie) and two cats (Sassy and Archie). My mom (Susan) is Vice President on the board with CVRR. Jeffery was actually adopted by them through CVRR and he is currently in training to become a therapy dog.
