Bree
Owner/President

Bree started P.P.A.R. in June 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Bree has three years experience as a Veterinary Technician, and has previously worked in doggy daycare and animal boarding. She has a dog named Task (see below) whom she rescued in 2017 from a severe neglect and abuse situation. Task's rescue and rehabilitation is what jumpstarted her path to starting her own rescue. Bree currently runs all aspects of P.P.A.R., from field rescues and adoptions, to scheduling and social media. She does this entirely as a volunteer and pays for most veterinary bills out of her own pocket due to lack of donations. Bree hopes to grow P.P.A.R. in the future so she can help more animals!​

Mike
Field Volunteer

Mike, Bree's other half, has been helping as an extra hand and volunteering during field rescues ever since the rescue was started in 2020. He helps with navigation and translation, as he is a fluent Spanish speaker and grew up in the area that P.P.A.R. rescues dogs and cats from most. His favorite dogs are Bully, Shepherd and Husky breeds, but he also enjoys any cat and kitten with a spunky personality. He's gotten very good at handling dogs and cats, and most recently mastered bottle and syringe feeding newborn kittens.

Task
Surrogate Dad

Task is a 5 year old mixed breed dog, and holds a permanent spot in Bree and Mike's home. He was rescued in early 2017 from a severe abuse and neglect situation, and he has been spoiled ever since. He loves cats and dogs, particularly as babies. PPAR decided to try him at being a foster Dad, and he has done amazing! Although he can't nurse them, Task helps give orphaned puppies and kittens the (supervised) animal-to-animal affection and comfort they need, which in some studies has proven to decrease the chances of fading puppy and fading kitten syndrome. As they get older, the puppies learn important social constructs from him that they otherwise would have learned from Mom. Good boy Task!
