About

As the quiet half Liz E.’s Pekingese Rescue and Sanctuary, I grew up in a world where pets meant feeding the family Jack Dempsey fish aptly named, Jaws. Fur was not considered a condiment or an accessory in my formative years. Fortunately, God chose for me a person who had a love for barking, wiggling dust mops. Early in our marriage, I learned an important lesson in phonetic communication quickly understanding that 15 (one-five) was received as 50 (five-zero) when she asked me how many dogs we could help. I now live by the motto “What’s another twelve pounds.”  Lacking any real dog skills or ability, I contribute by picking up dogs from dire situations, taking dogs to meet their new parents, and picking up poop. I can say every moment of laughter, every happily ever after, and every grave filled with tears, the Pekingese have given me an education about a dog’s health, personality, hard times, and love. In my spare time, I enjoy watching sports and playing golf (defining spare time would be the bigger concept here). I have a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, a master’s degree in both mathematics and econometrics. I currently work full time for an academic health system and during the season, I am a tax specialist.  I lived thirty-five years without a dog in my life, but I have made up for lost time with the woman I love, whose vision for an uncommon rescue and sanctuary has made me the luckiest.
