Our People
Kristina
Animal Care Coordinator
Kristina is the heart behind the daily care of our dogs at FTF! Growing up surrounded by dogs, her love for animals came naturally (well... except for snakes). Her journey into rescue started by chance—when her mom, Doreen (our Co-founder), asked her to foster a sweet Lab named Mollie. From that moment on, Kristina was all in, and now she can’t imagine life without rescue, just like her mom.
When she’s not providing round-the-clock care for our pups, Kristina enjoys spending time with her friends, family, and her dog Kelce. She’s also an enthusiastic dog sitter and a fan of all things canine. In her downtime, you can find her watching gloriously bad reality TV, cheering on her beloved Purdue Boilermakers, or rooting for the Chicago Bears.
Fun Furry Fact
Kristina made her love for dogs into a part-time gig dog walking and pet sitting! She loves black lab/pit mixes and chihuahuas the most, that is what you will mostly find in her home for fosters. She even foster failed a senior long hair chi named Betti.
