Jennifer Jenkins started in the world of animal welfare, as so many of us do, because of her love and respect for animals. She never anticipated the challenges she would face because of the prejudices from policy makers when it came to adoption practices and more.

Since devoting herself to animal sheltering, her honesty and integrity have established her as an up-and-coming leader. We're honored to know this remarkable woman as she works tirelessly to save lives and spread education.
