My childhood, filled with animals, sparked a lifelong passion for making a positive impact on their lives. With dogs always by my side, I experienced a sense of belonging and joy that I had never known before. As I grew older and moved out, I continued to share my life with multiple dogs, who became my faithful companions. I felt a deep sense of gratitude and responsibility to give back to these incredible animals. I made a promise to create a sanctuary where dogs could find love, care, and protection.
When I met my husband, Dave he lovingly accepted my seven dogs, and we shared a common vision of creating a better world for animals. As the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged the nation, we sought a fresh start in rural Ohio. That’s when we stumbled upon a captivating 1885 church, which would become the perfect haven for our animal rescue mission. As I stepped into the church, I knew we were destined to create something extraordinary. With the support of compassionate individuals, our dream became a reality, and the Animal Rescue at the Enchanted Church was born.
