"Mary has and continues to be a wonderful mentor and inspiration to me. From my infancy on, she has instilled upon me a deep love and compassion for all animals. From rescue dogs and cats, to horses, to bird sanctuaries and wild animal preservations, Mary has an understanding and connection to animals big and small. Our trips and vacations as children always included some sort of volunteering or educational adventure with animals, and my first introduction to the rez dogs out west was at fourteen, where the highlight of our two week trip was three days of volunteering at the largest animal rescue in the country. Thank you, Mary, for building my foundation and love for these animals. I hope to continue to learn from you and share this passion with others."
