Lori is a proud Midland native and lifelong dog lover with a deep commitment to animal welfare in her community. She is passionate about reducing local euthanasia rates through education and outreach.

She actively promotes the importance of spaying and neutering pets to combat overpopulation and strongly advocates for microchipping to help reunite lost animals with their families, ultimately decreasing the shelter population.

Her journey in animal rescue began while living in Dallas, where she started fostering dogs. Since returning to Midland, Lori has continued fostering through local rescues and remains dedicated to creating a future where every pet has a chance at a loving home.
