I found my passion for rescue during the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. I saw the world open up and people return their dogs that they had gotten as companions during COVID, as though they were a pair of shoes or a purse. Shelters were (and still are) being overwhelmed with more dogs than they can manage. 

Seeing this, I began to immerse myself in dog rescue Instagram pages and found myself fostering an emaciated Rottweiler mama through Underdog Heroes, who had been through the worst of the worst and needed someone to take a chance on her. Fostering Honey through Underdog Heroes changed my life and finally allowed me to see the path I was meant to be on… a path of saving helpless dogs and being their voice when they can’t speak up for themselves. A year and a half and seven fosters (and one foster fail) later, I have decided to start Soulmate Rescue. A rescue that looks at dogs in the way that they should be seen: as cherished and loved soulmates in this lifetime. What better way to represent this rescue than by using my first “foster fail” aka adopted dog, Otis.
