Board member- Great Plains Mastiff Rescue in Oklahoma

Ava is an avid support of animal rescue and is the treasurer and board member of Great Plains Mastiff Rescue in Oklahoma and assists in placing rescued Mastiffs in temporary homes and oversees their care until they can be adopted.

"I am blessed to work and volunteer in the two passions in my life; hospice care and animal rescue.  I was raised by parents who taught us to serve and give back and am happy that I can do that by putting my skills and energy to good use in rescuing dogs. My Mastiff addiction began several years ago when I fostered and adopted my first Mastiff, Max, from another rescue. I fell in love with the breed and knew I wanted to help. I soon found GPMR, which was local and willing to put me to work right away! I started volunteering with GPMR in 2009, became the Foster Coordinator shortly thereafter and eventually Vice President for the board in 2013. I have also fostered for GPMR and adopted a male and female from the organization."
