The Faces of Paw Posse Animal Rescue

Meet the Team

Tina's passion for animals has shaped her life, leading her from a volunteer role in a rescue to becoming the Director of Operations at a shelter. For three years, she dedicated herself to managing the shelter, foster homes, coordinating 30-40 volunteers, overseeing adoptions, and successfully helping over 400 animals find loving homes. Even after leaving her Director position, her commitment to animal welfare never waned. Determined to continue her impactful work, Tina teamed up with a close friend, Traci who shared her enthusiasm for helping strays. Together, they founded Paw Posse Animal Rescue, a testament to their unwavering dedication to improving the lives of animals in need.

Traci has dedicated the last eight years of her life to rescuing animals, driven by her deep love for them. Her work is extraordinary; she played a vital role in a unique rescue initiative focused on reuniting owners with their missing pets, aiding stray dogs in need, and rehabilitating timid animals. Throughout her journey, Traci has humanely trapped over 300 pets and strays, proving her commitment to their well-being. Among her many rescues, she even saved a pig, showcasing her wide-ranging compassion. Traci finds immense joy in working with fearful and shutdown animals, often spending her days at the shelter to ensure that these dogs receive the love and encouragement they need to thrive. Her dedication and gentle approach help countless animals regain their confidence and find forever homes.
