“The opportunity to work with my family and this wonderful board of directors to tackle such a prevalent problem in our community means the world to me. I look forward to growing our organization to help save dogs that otherwise wouldn’t have a chance, and provide sanctuary to dogs that have endured the worst. Saving one dog won’t change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever. ”

“Setting up a rescue & sanctuary has been my dream for many years. I am so thankful to my family and for each of the board members as well as the amazing community that has supported me long before the rescue/sanctuary was officially established. I greatly appreciate everyone that has helped my dream become a reality!”

Huntington Prater
Treasurer
“Coming from recent involvement with another nonprofit, I felt like what I learned could be easily translated into helping RTTRS grow into what we believe it can be. Using my background in finance and investments, I hope to be able to help manage that side of the operation and be a crucial part of helping out as many dogs as possible. The rescue and sanctuary really speaks to me, having two dogs myself. I can’t wait to see all of the good we can do through RTTRS!”

Shelley Howell
Events Coordinator
“When Kris asked me if I would be interested in joining the board, I was very excited. I believe every animal deserves a loving home. In the past, I have helped rescues with transporting dogs and a few cats, fostered a few sweet pooches, and proud to say I am a foster fail to one very spoiled pooch!”
