Hey There!

I’m Christine and I’m making a fashion statement for adoptable pets. Saving lives never goes out of style.

Stay (p)updated!

On the blog: a letter to the fosters that I’ve l

On the blog: a letter to the fosters that I’ve lost. I wrote this letter back in May after our puppy foster, Junior, passed away from a rare blood disorder. Writing has always been a way for me to process my emotions. I debating sharing this blog post because it’s sad and emotional and I know it’s not a fun read. But I’m sharing it today because I realized I’m not the only person who has lost a foster and maybe someone else can relate. The fosters I’ve lost have encouraged me to continue to open my heart and home to others in need. A few weeks ago, Sookie (pictured) and her siblings were adopted and this weekend, we will be picking up a new litter ❤️

A few weeks ago, as a little bday treat, I went to @chicagoanimalcare with @secondcityk9 and these puppies were were in need of rescue. It’s funny how the world works because one of my good friends had been looking for a dog for a long time. The stars aligned and now the little girl on the left is hers! Ada is so happy and loved and spoiled. I got to hang out with her the other day and she’s still the perfect nugget.

As I return to working with animals, I bring with

As I return to working with animals, I bring with me a new perspective. I realize that a few weeks of learning can’t even begin to scratch the surface, so I am committed to continuing to have my ears, eyes, and heart open.

Racism is very much part of the world we live in and animal rescue is not excluded from that. Ways in which we work with adopters, collaborate with black communities, handle owner surrenders, support low-cost pet care, make rescue more inclusive, and so many more aspects can be improved. We can do better and I would love to keep this conversation going. If you have suggestions on ways we can improve in rescue, reach out!

On the surface, this birthday looks very different

On the surface, this birthday looks very different and it’s easy to think of things I can’t do. But, when I look around, I’m reminded how lucky I am. I still get to do rescue work, I have my animals, the best husband, 172 kittens, and I have been showered with messages, texts, visits, and gifts. Quarantine birthday hasn’t been so bad after all. Thank you for making me feel like the most special woman today. I’m truly grateful to share these experiences with you and encouraging each other along the way. This little nugget & his sister are currently being fostered with @secondcityk9 thanks to @nheath1975. 📸: @jumpferjoy .

Last summer I fostered my first small dog. I fell

Last summer I fostered my first small dog. I fell in love with him, his snuggles, and spunky personality. I almost thought about keeping him but then the most perfect adopter came along and look at how loved he is!! He has an older small brother named Chico, a fenced in backyard, and gets to go to work with his adopter. I keep in touch with his owner and it encourages me to continue opening my home to animals in need. If you haven’t seen my stories yet, I brought home 5 kittens this weekend and they’re a wild and adorable bunch. Can’t wait to see who gets to adopt them!

Animal rescue in Chicago has changed dramatically

Animal rescue in Chicago has changed dramatically over the past few months. Link in bio for all the updates and my thoughts on everything! 📸: @margaretrajic .
Right before Coronavirus hit, @margaretrajic and I ventured to @anticruelty and I fell in love with this girl. A tripod Pittie aka my dream dog. Luckily someone else loved her too and adopted her shortly after our visit ❤️☺️

Happy #nationalrescuedogday - meet the first dog my family ever adopted, Stanley (the red boy on the right). I grew up with Labrador Retrievers that we purchased from a breeder but then my parents decided to give rescue a shot. We adopted Stanley from @pawschicago in 2012 and the following year adopted Hattrick. These big boys have brought some much love and joy to my family, the best rescue ambassadors out there.
