Vicki is the founder of Pals4Paws, and a longtime rescue mama of many 4 leggers from unfortunate circumstances.

Angela is our newest board member who brings a wealth of experience to Pals4Paws. She has worked in the nitty-gritty of rescue for years including transport, home inspections, and fostering. She supports countless rescues and sanctuaries. She was president of Pasado's Safe Haven and currently works with PACK (People of Animal Care and Kindness) in Gig Harbor WA as a fundraiser and advisor.

Diana--volunteer, social media coordinator, perpetual cheerleader
Diana has been with us since day 1 and was drawn to our unique mission. She has volunteered and donated to large, popular, nationally recognized animal organizations over the years; these organizations do outstanding work and she credits them with bringing continued attention to animal neglect, abuse, over-breeding and in-breeding.

Diana has been with us since day 1 and was drawn to our unique mission. She has volunteered and donated to large, popular, nationally recognized animal organizations over the years; these organizations do outstanding work and she credits them with bringing continued attention to animal neglect, abuse, over-breeding and in-breeding. However, the opportunity to provide assistance to the small and rural shelters that do not have the funds for fancy marketing nor the staff to elicit grants…..this is most in line with her passion and where she feels she can do the most good. Witnessing firsthand the positive impact Pals4Paws grants have had on our grant recipients thus far has been such a thrill! She still cries with joy every time we provide a grant to an organization in need.

Pals4Paws met her at our local "Bark in the Park" event and she was excited about our mission. We are so thrilled and lucky to have her as a volunteer!
