JESSIE SHAW
Co-Founder, Volunteer Coordinator, Rescue Coordinator 

Since the day I was born, I have loved animals. Growing up surrounded by dogs, I realized very early on that this was where my passion lay. Helping dogs in need and starting an animal rescue has always been my dream. When I moved to CT from Brooklyn in the Winter of 2020, I connected with Little Black Dog Rescue and was able to work together with founder Amy Scarella to connect fosters with dogs in need, and adopters with their forever pups.

Working with Amy opened my eyes to the incredible lack of assistance and resources for dogs in the southern states. My time at LBDR has given me the learning and confidence needed to take the next step and start Fetch. I am committed to helping as many dogs as we possibly can and hope that we can save many lives, and help educate the communities in which these dogs suffer so many cruel and careless acts.
