KPETS Founder
Karen worked in IT for years but found her passion of sharing her dogs through pet therapy visits. Volunteering with national therapy dog organizations, she soon realized they could not keep up with the demand to screen and register new volunteer teams. After being motivated by her pastor’s messages on Vision and doing quite a bit of research, KPETS was founded in 2003. KPETS was formed not only to register more volunteers, but to connect those volunteers and their pets with the needs in our communities. “I finally found out why God put me here.” Karen lives with her husband, three amazing Golden Retrievers, a horse and three goats.
