How I Can Help

Jennifer Hessley
Jennifer Hessley

I am a 10 year veteran of the rescue world as a foster and fundraiser and had a front row seat to watching over 6,000 dogs be rescued, vetted, and placed AND I was on the hook to make sure DRSF had enough money to do so! Now I want to share what I have learned along the way to make your life easier. Weather you are a dog Mom or Dad who needs guidance on how to solve a problem, a foster who wants to foster more fabulously, or a rescue who needs guidance on how to fund a $500,000+ annual budget I can share what I have learned to help lighten your load!
