Stewardship

STEWARDSHIP: I’ve long advocated for responsible dog ownership and, to this end, am an AKC Public Education representative and have worked with NBRF (National Borzoi Rescue Foundation), as well as multiple purebred and mixed-breed organizations. (Visit Welfare for more information.) READY BORZOI: The disasters of Hurricane Katrina and the Macondo oil spill drew me into domestic and wildlife rehab/rescue/foster activities in unprecedented ways. As a result of these experiences, I sought a deeper understanding of environmental issues and disaster preparedness. I created Ready Borzoi, an initiative of the Borzoi Club of America, which was developed based on these experiences. The site was recognized with a National AKC Community Achievement Award and inspired other breed clubs to establish similar resources.
