Jessica

Family: I have a very close-knit family. I have my mother, Kim, and two sisters, Silver & Amber. I’m the middle child, but I am equally close to my older sister as I am to my youngest. Although, I definitely get into more sister tiffs with Silver because we work together!

Animals: I had the misfortune of losing my sweet pit bull, Midnight, this year, but by chance, my mother contacted me about catching two pit bulls that were loose on a man’s property. He was threatening to shoot them if someone didn’t remove them. A rescue was organized and they were brought here. We cared for them here since March 2015. One of the two, Mia, tested positive for heartworms. Worried she may not be adopted, I decided to adopt her and pay for her treatment. Now, she’s my sidekick and comes in to work with me every day. It’s a true love story. I like to call myself the “Pitt Bull Guru”.

Family: I have my endearing mother, Lynette, my two “nerdy” older brothers, Brandon and Jordan, my loving father, Rusty, my two stubborn older sisters, Kayla and Samantha, five involved and caring grandparents, Dr. Donald Perrere, Brenda, Barbara, Russel and Genell, and a philosophical brother-in-law, Jacob. Last but not least, my “mini boyfriend”, my nephew, Jacob. I’m truly blessed to have them all in my life and I am thankful for all of them every day.

Animals: In the past, I have had golden retrievers, rabbits, mice, cats, etc. and fosters sporadically. Now, I’m down to my latest rescue, a feral kitten, Tilly who cuddles up with me each night!
