We don't know what we would do without our dear Michelle!

 Animals make me HAPPY! They continuously bring me into the present tense and communicate in endlessly fascinating and endearing ways!  To have the power to save animals from tragic and often dire circumstances is a gift in and of itself, but to then have the know how and ability to engender trust, affection and HILARITY through communication with those animals is a profoundly moving and enriching experience!
The richness and depth of understanding and connection that is possible between humans & animals is limitless.. I can't get enough or share enough of what {and how} animals say!

Deb

Deb has been working in animal rescue for over 20 years, from city-run to private shelters, but this is her best gig ever. She has been a kennel cleaner, dog walker, adoption counselor, vet assistant, enrichment team member, transporter, Board member. She believes deeply in the power of dogs, and has strived to incorporate living in the here and now, as they do, into her varied pursuits. Dogs have healed, taught, embarrassed, frustrated, emboldened, energized, challenged, and cracked her up. They have simultaneously broken her heart and loved her more than she thought possible. Deb is known to her canine friends as a treat dispenser. She'd also like them to know that she is a poetry writer and bicyclist. Deb lives in Manhattan with 3 littles and a human partner who does a lot of compromising, as Deb can be difficult to understand if you're not a dog.

Nick

Nick left climbing the corporate ladder to run with the dogs and hasn't looked back! He has been working with dogs for 2+ yrs but has been successfully handling dogs for over a decade. Nick has an incredible calm energy when interacting with dogs. Even the most untrusting of canines will find comfort and safety around Nick!

​Even when he's not working with dogs he's with his own - Harley (a Love Dogs alum) - and his loved ones either enjoying the outdoors or kicking back for a lazy day at home.

Morgan

Morgan initially began her career in the medical field, though after realizing how much she preferred working with animals over people, she chose to pursue caring for them instead. Morgan has prior experience handling wolves and working in conservation. Helping any animal is what drives her and that is what brought her to For The Love of Dogs.

She is a proud dog mom of three amazing pups: Henry, Rosie and Jacob! When Morgan isn’t at work, you can find her hiking the trails with her dogs, cooking a delicious vegetarian meal or relaxing at home enjoying a glass of wine.
