An animal rescue participant for most of her life. Taking in animals found in the wild, either hurt or orphaned, rehabilitating them and finding them safe homes/zoos to live in is one of her passions. In the last 10 years, she has saved over 70 animals and either returned them to the wild or placed them in safe, loving homes or facilities. She loves all animals, but has a special affection for Panda Bears and strong interest in the conservation efforts being made on their behalf. She has a large collection of Panda items and will only buy the ones that send a portion of the proceeds to help with those efforts.
