Founder/Director of the Board
I am the founder and director of this incredible organization. I have my hand in all areas of rescue from intake, medical canines, fundraising, events, problem solving, development, and more. To see my dream of helping animals blossom into a life saving mission like this is something words cannot describe. If you see a Spots volunteer, adopter, foster, or supporter out in the wild, give them a double high five! This small but mighty rescue family is the best.
I am the proud mom of 2 perfect pups named Bird and Lucille. Bird was a parvo puppy survivor and made her way not only into my home but also my heart. She has attached to my daughter and they’ve become fast friends. She wiggles her entire body whenever she sees my kiddos. And then we have Lucille. She is our local bully rescue who was dumped multiple times by her owner until finally they did not reclaim her. Lucille started out as a foster in the Adams household where she quickly became a permanent member of the family. She is an ambassador to the breed and we use her for dog temperament testing for many of the dogs who enter rescue. She’s truly a diamond in the rough!
Canine Event Manager
canineevents@spotslaststop.org
I'm the Canine Event Manager at Spot's, a role I've been passionate about since 2023. I coordinate everything from private pupper parties to our involvement with the Minneapolis Home & Garden Show, helping connect sweet rescue dogs with amazing hosts for unforgettable events. It’s so rewarding to combine my professional skills with my love for animals and make events truly special for everyone involved. When I'm not working on events, I’m spending time with my rescue pup, Grover, who I've had since 2017. He's a goofy 9-year-old with a love for people!
Foster Onboarding Coordinator
I started fostering with Spots in 2019 with the most adorable Great Dane mix named Alice. Alice was not our first foster, before her we fostered Great Danes. We have loved fostering with Spots and have gone on to foster many more dogs. Watching pups heal and find their families while being supported by this amazing community has been such a positive experience for our whole family. From my husband and my 3 kids, to resident dogs Bigsby the Great Dane and Zoey the Great Dane boxer and a very tolerant but grumpy cat named Honey. Fostering will always be close to my heart and I love that I get to share that while helping new fosters start their journeys too as the Foster Onboarding Coordinator. I look forward to continuing to foster with Spots for many more years.
Canine Adoption Lead
I have been involved with Spots in various capacities for several years after adopting our first rescue in 2019. I loved the supportive, positive experience that our family had and quickly learned that this is simply the Spots way! As an adoption coordinator my passion is to work with adopters to determine what qualities they are looking for in their next furry family member and working with fosters to determine what a forever home looks like for their foster dog. This thoughtful process sets everyone up for success!
I’m the proud fur-mom to Cora! She epitomizes the values of Spots. She was a mama dog who was heartworm positive and living with her puppies in an overcrowded shelter. Despite the high cost of her treatment - Spots said yes! Cora is now healthy, happy, and welcomes countless foster dogs into our home giving them their chance to find their forever family!
Volunteer Coordinator
My journey with Spot’s started two years ago when my family and I began fostering. We all enjoy watching the pups blossom as they settle into a secure home. I stepped into the role of Volunteer Coordinator in 2024 as the organization started to grow. I enjoy connecting with all of our volunteers and helping new and old members of our team find their role in Spot’s mission. Our organization is as wonderful as it is because of the volunteers that give their time.
