Laurene has been working at the shelter since March 2024. She has two dogs, Linus and Lola, both of whom were adopted from the shelter. She formed a deep bond with Tommy, a senior dog who spent all his time by her side in the office. Laurene is inspired by the team’s shared mission to make the world a better place; though the work is challenging, she believes it is essential to keep fighting for those who cannot speak for themselves
