MEET OUR TEAM

Founder/Executive Director

Johannah moved to Bend, OR in 2013 from Bellingham, WA. She graduated from Western Washington University with a degree in Sociology and a minor in Psychology.

Her passion for animal welfare started when she took a job at a local humane society. She was inspired to be a vocal advocate for animals in her care and developed an understanding of the human-animal bond. Later, she started a job at a low-cost spay and neuter clinic. There she was faced with the overt disparities and hardships individuals with companion animals faced with veterinary expenses and being able to provide for themselves and their families. She knew the importance of helping keep people and pets together and wanted to continue to advocate and help to do so.

Johannah holds certificates in Animal Behavior and Low-Stress handling and is a registered Community Health Worker (CHW)
