About Me

I am one of the Co-Founders of NBS Animal Rescue. The majority of my spare time is spent networking animals and spending time with our foster dogs. My favorite dogs to work with are the seniors, medical, and fearful cases. Seeing these dogs blossom makes it all worth it.

More Info

Please JOIN OUR TEAM to start fundraising today!

NBS Animal Rescue’s mission is to Foster, Love, and Adopt homeless dogs, one-by-one, until there are none.

Specifically, we focus on pulling small breed dogs from Michigan shelters. We take the seniors and medical needs dogs that are least likely to be adopted, and are at a high risk of euthanasia. All necessary medical care is provided for them until we find them a loving home.

Since 2011, even as a smaller foster-based rescue we have proudly adopted out over 600 dogs. We are a 5-star rescue certified by the Michigan Pet Fund Alliance, by always going above and beyond the best standardized rescue practices. Since 2011, we have been successful in securing grants that help fund our senior medical needs program, emergency medical outreach program, and post-adoption training programs. We proudly operate a pet food pantry that often supplies other rescues and outreach groups with dog food when the need arises. To date, we have supplied over 40,000 lbs. of dog food to animals in need.

Life-saving #PlungeForPaws donations will replenish one of our 3 main programs: Senior Medical Fund, Emergency Outreach Fund, or Post-Adoption Training fund. All of these programs are geared to help the neediest dogs receive the care they desperately deserve and keep them in loving homes.

Please JOIN OUR TEAM and start fundraising! Dogs or humans that raise $100 or more have the option to #TakeThePlunge in Bark-A-Bout's indoor pool during the #PlungeForPaws weekend event, Saturday and Sunday, December 14th and 15th!

This year Bark-A-Bout is taking the famous 'Polar Plunge' to a whole new level!!

#PlungeForPaws, 2019  

Fundraiser and Event Weekend Details

Every dollar (and goosebump) raised through Bark-A-Bout's #PlungeForPaws Fundraiser will give your favorite pet rescue the ability to continue their mission to bring warmth and health to animals in need this winter!! Money raised will help pay for critical life-saving pet-care supplies and owner education. Without intervention, unfortunately many abandoned and chained outdoor pets will die a very slow and painful death this winter of hypothermia, dehydration and starvation.

Bark-A-Bout invites all 2-legged and 4-legged supporters to raise donations. Each dog or human registered plunger who raises $100 or more can #TakeThePlunge in Bark-A-Bout's indoor pool alongside other supporters of their favorite pet rescue! Whether dog our human paw'ticipants go knee-deep, waist high, take the full plunge, or stay dry, each dollar raised will help keep local pets warm and healthy this winter!
