My name is Chelsea. I work full time and have my own place. I tend to be a homebody. I’m blunt, sarcastic, very honest and I rarely know the thing to say at the appropriate time. I have 2 dogs; a shepherd mix named Jade and a mastiff mix named Oakley. I also have 4 cats: Erza, Iris, Jayce, and Aria. Every one of my babies are rescues.
I got into rescue in October of 2014. There are very few things I feel that I have done right or well in my life, but fostering and rescue are at the top of the list. I started volunteering when I was battling depression because of some events that happened in my life and when I started, I had no idea what I would end up finding. This is my family, my home away from home wherever I go. I made friends, started believing in myself. Started to feel accomplished and that I actually could make a difference in the world no matter how small. I wouldn’t give it up for anything in the world.
I mostly foster puppies or submissive dogs as my Jade can be a bit dominant. Jade and Oakley are in love with puppies, so even though the messes and the basic training can be a pain, watching them enjoy themselves is worth it. I am not against any breed or age. As long as they fit in my household I’m happy and will treat them as if they were my own. The most I’ve had in my household at one time was 15 animals all told because I started fostering an emaciated hound that surprised me with 7 puppies on my couch not 10 hours after pulling her from the shelter =).
