Jackie M.
DOG TEAM
Foster Coordinator
​
Jackie's passion for animals runs deep. She will drop everything, even her husband and kids, to rescue an animal--and they know it! She has been an integral part in successfully saving hundreds of dogs off euthanasia lists. Jackie's humor, wit, and fierce compassion for the animals and their fosters has fortified an incredible partnership with RWAR.
Jessie W.

​
With a passion for animal welfare, Jessie has been proudly volunteering for RWAR for over a year. Her rescue journey has involved a variety of roles, from helping out at events to providing medical care to RWAR's cats. As a lifelong animal lover, Jessie's mission is to help as many animals as possible find loving homes. She believes that every animal is deserving of this right, and dedicates her life to making this happen every day.
Grace R.
CAT TEAM
Cat Care
​
Grace has been part of Team RWAR for almost a year now. She is currently studying biomedical science in the hopes of one day becoming a veterinarian. The knowledge she learns in the classroom is a valuable asset to RWAR since she often assists with cat medical and care, as well as dog care. Grace is thankful to RWAR for giving her the opportunity to work closely with their animals (and receive lots of snuggles).

Jane H.
VOLUNTEER
​
Jane discovered RWAR while searching for volunteer opportunities in the Lemont community. Her passion has always been to help the underdogs. So when she saw how many homeless animals there are in her community alone, she fiercely sought out how to make a difference, no matter how small. With her background in telecommunications, Jane is a force to be reckoned with, driving positive morale within the team while assisting with Kentucky transports and RWAR events.​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Kim M.
VOLUNTEER

Kim joined RWAR right in the beginning, in 2021. By day Kim is a Project Manager, but her true passion lies in helping animals in need.
