Meet our
Waiting Families

Dogs or cats?

"We love all kinds of animals. We have two small dogs, Charli & Rosie, and a cat, Riley, who have become our world. We are so happy to share our lives with them and take them along to vacation or just include them in every day activities so they feel how loved they are. When we are not with them, we are sure to provide them with the best care givers. Because we have such a deep love for animals, it is common that while vacationing, we often look local wild life or visit animal santuaries where we can see as many animals as possible." - Jacquelyn

Complete the sentence, “I can’t live without……”

"burritos. I lived in Europe for a couple of years and the thing I missed most was a tortilla filled with beans. So I learned to make my own! And I'm still making those burritos on a regular basis, swapping out new ingredients I want to try to incorporate the flavors of different cuisines that inspire me. I love to cook and try new types of foods, but I will always come back to my favorite, the burrito." - Monique
