It all started when Danyele tagged along with a friend to an adoption event for Our Lil’ Bit of Heaven Animal Rescue and Sanctuary a few years ago. The dedication of the volunteers and the need that she saw drew her in immediately. She knows that it is impossible to save every dog, but she has seen the difference that time, love, and a little care can make to an animal who has not had those things in their life. Because the dogs served by OLBH are housed in foster homes and at the Animal Sanctuary property in Poland, IN, Danyele chooses to do most of her volunteering remotely. She currently coordinates fundraising events for the southern part of the state (OLBH rescues from several counties) and helps update the Our Lil’ Bit of Heaven website and social media from her home. She still gets out to the Sanctuary for work days on occasion and to adoption events to meet the dogs.
