Presenter: Rachel Jones, Urgent Dog Case Manager, Pima Animal Care Center
@Rachel Jones (she/her) entered animal welfare in 2017 as a behavior dog foster for Ventura County Animal Services. By 2018, her foster-zealotry had consumed her so entirely that she moved to Arizona to work as one part of a new 4-person foster team at Pima Animal Care Center #thankstomaddie. During her time as a foster coordinator, she helped build one of the nation’s largest big dog foster programs, hosted numerous dog foster apprenticeships, wrote articles and presented on dog foster and volunteer programs for Maddie’s Fund, Austin Pets Alive! and the Missouri Coalition of Animal Care Organizations. In 2021, she worked with ASU’s Canine Science Collaboratory to coordinate a 40-dog study on the effects of foster care on shelter dogs and began developing an online shelter handling course for Maddie’s Fund. She is currently PACC’s Urgent Dog Case Manager where she partners with volunteers to support harder-to-place dogs in-shelter and offer post-placement support to their fosters and adopters. Her favorite things in life are naughty dogs and when people include bullet points in emails. She also makes silly videos sometimes.
