October 2019 Volunteer of the Month-
Meet Marissa!
I googled pit bull rescues
in Minnesota :)
I love pit bulls so much
and I am deeply passionate about spreading awareness about how loving and
wonderful they are. It's such a joy to help in whatever way I can to ensure
that these special dogs find their forever families!
How long have you been volunteering with the rescue?
Just a few months!
What was the last thing you volunteered for?
I have been helping out
with calling potential adopters references they list on their applications to
ensure that the dog would be a good fit for the family!

Do you have any pets of your own?
 |
| Darl & Beth |
Yes, I have two pit bulls
myself, Darla (3.5) and Beth (3). Darla is from the Milwaukee pit bull rescue I
volunteered for, it was love at first sight. Sweet Beth is a foster fail from
another rescue, she was returned to them and a shelter had considered her
'un-adoptable' and she is perfect for us! They have their own Instagram account
because I was spamming my friends with too many pictures of
them, @darla_beth_bff
How would your pets describe you?
Obsessed with them and always kissing them.
There is a coffee house
called Open Book in Minneapolis, that my workout group, November Project, goes
to on Wednesday mornings and whichever dog I bring with me gets to go to coffee
with us inside!
When you're not surrounded by dogs, what can you be found doing?
Gosh, I really am
frequently surrounded by dogs but I'm a runner and like to do various distance
races and my husband and I have a lot of family close by so we love to spend
time with them.

| Transport with Zariah |
Do you have a favorite memory that happened while you were volunteering?
I helped transport an adorable pup named Zaria from the vet back to her foster mom's house and she was just the cutest, sassiest little thing so much fun to just snuggle her and all I had to do was drive her around. Not a hardship at all!

All it takes is just
showing up and making a little time in your life to help in whatever way you
can! It's so rewarding.
