Kristen is the manager at RHHR. For Kristen, it is all about the dogs - are they comfortable, are they loved, are they medically cared for, do they have good, healthy food, and for sure do they have enough treats. Kristen is a retired military veteran, having served 29 years in the United States Army. Her deployments include Panama, Kosovo and Iraq. Devoted service to our country uniquely led Kristen to dog rescue and, ultimately, to RHHR. After her discharge from the Army, Kristen received Max, an adorable and loving rescued Husky, as a therapy dog (before it was “trendy,” Kristen will say). Kristen was so grateful for Max’s service to her, and so impressed with the healing and joy Max provided, that she was inspired to become involved in dog rescue. She began very actively volunteering in 2009 with Northern Lights Sled Dog Rescue, a husky rescue in Indiana. Again, her dedication and inclination to service bloomed, and Kristen built a multi unit foster kennel on her property, and worked in all aspects of rescue (specializing in huskies), including providing a home, love and care to medically challenged huskies and puppies entrusted to her care.
Kristen’s son, Sam, 24, currently lives in Florida after receiving a Master’s Degree from the University of Oregon. Kristen’s family resides in South Bend Indiana. |
