Hi, I’m Debi... Your Rescue Dog Guide

I know firsthand the ups and downs of raising a rescue dog. When we adopted Ginger, she struggled with resource guarding, allergies, anxiety, and confidence issues. I tried everything... seminars, behaviorists, endless research... but the biggest shifts came when I started looking at the whole dog: her health, food, stress, environment, training, and emotional wellbeing.

I’m the founder of Rescue Dogs 101, Dog Wellness Journey and a Certified Holistic Pet Health Coach™. Over the past 12+ years, I’ve fostered dogs, volunteered with rescues and our local humane society, and helped thousands of dog parents better understand their pups.

My passion is helping you confidently navigate your rescue dog journey with love, patience, healthy choices, mindful training, and a whole lot of fun.
