Katelyn grew up rescuing animals with her mom, and always had a variety of different rescue animals in her life from dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and even a chinchilla. Her educational background is in business management and accounting, however, rescue is her true passion in life. 

Katelyn moved from Austin to Corpus Christi to pursue her Masters degree in 2018 and noticed how many stray dogs were being dumped in her neighborhood and at her workplace. She began taking them into her home, vetting them and adopting them out locally. However, she realized that she could not do this alone or make a significant impact without joining forces with a formal rescue. She first got involved as a foster for a couple of local Corpus Christi rescues in 2018, and then grew into a role on the board of directors for one of those rescues where she made an impressionable impact by fostering, rehabilitating, and finding forever homes for many dogs and puppies over the years. 

Katelyn has since moved back to Austin and continues to rescue dogs out of South Texas. Her goal is to provide more resources and education, and assist with improving local ordinances to decrease the number of stray, abandoned, abused, and unwanted dogs in Corpus Christi and surrounding areas.

Katelyn has adopted and fostered dogs from all walks of life, including seniors, medical cases, behavioral cases, ferals, and bottle babies. She is an advocate for misunderstood breeds and actively promotes them as being wonderful furry family members for those looking to adopt. She is not only a pittie momma, but also adopted chihuahuas and a poodle to join her family over the years.
