Our volunteer of the month is Joni McConnell Joni is a long time Passport 4 Paws volunteer. What initially drew Joni to animal rescue was a profound experience with Stage 4 cancer twice approximately 25 years ago. She prayed to God for recovery, promising to make a difference if given another chance and thankfully, she survived. Since then, Joni has dedicated herself to saving the lives of animals. Joni has two dogs, both of which are foster fails. Janie is 11 years old and 65 pounds mix of Bearded Collie, Border Collie, Poodle, Schnauzer and Greyhound per the DNA results. She hates adult dogs but loves puppies, teenager dogs and adores kittens! Loki (foster fail due to being unadoptable) is a 2 year old 65 pound mix of Pit Bull, Cattle Dog, Husky, and more. Loki loves all dogs but is not good with people.

Featured Foster of the Month
Our featured foster animal is Rambo. Him and his siblings were part of our "Spay It Forward" initiative. Some of the animals on this property were signed over to our organization, while others weren't. Unfortunately, months later, Rambo was hit by a car and the owner decided to surrender him since he could not afford the medical care and the prognosis seemed guarded. We have some experience with dogs unable to walk and wanted to give him a chance with a Veterinary Chiropractor. Fast forward several months, Rambo is starting to apply a tiny bit of weight to his hind legs now and uses his wheels as well to get around. He is in specialty boarding where he gets his care routinely and complete chiropractic care. Without the help of our community donating to p4p, we wouldn’t have been able to save Rambo and his siblings and get him the care he needs.
