Jeanne has been an animal advocate, dog rescuer and dog foster for a majority of her life. She lives in the City of Long Beach, CA, and has volunteered at the Long Beach Animal Shelter, providing her an up-front and personal look at the suffering homeless dogs endure, particularly larger breed dogs, who are harder to place.

Through Jeanne's passion for helping these dogs, she has developed strong relationships with several dog rescues who tirelessly work to save dogs in Long Beach and its surrounding cities. Jeanne has also built an alliance with National Disaster Search Dog Foundation, helping evaluate shelter dogs for potential recruitment into their program.

Jeanne has been a resident of Long Beach for over 30 years, has earned a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, a Master in Science in Computer Engineering, provides Project Management Consulting for tech companies, and is a volunteer with several non-profits in the Long Beach area. When she's not busy working, volunteering and assisting with dog rescues, she loves to spend time with her rescue dogs Lady and Bodhi!

Sara has been a longtime animal lover and advocate, which began during her childhood growing up in Mexico City. She has earned a degree in Economics from Stanford University and upon graduating went on to live and work internationally for 12 years with her husband Tony, who played professional water polo.

At each location, Sara always became involved with a local shelter or animal advocacy group. She is now back permanently in Long Beach, CA, where she runs two companies: Azevedo Water Polo and 6-8 Sports. She has reconnected with friend Jeanne and together they have united their passion for helping animals through FURever.

Lady and Bodhi were both rescued from city shelters in Los Angeles county. Although they may look intimidating, both are just big fur babies who love to hang out with people and dogs at the park. Lady and Bodhi have no formal education, but have both earned a Masters in Love and Light. They have experienced some very dark days in the past, but are now living a beautiful life, bringing joy to all who meet them and are an inspiration to FURever in its mission to save lives.
