Maria has been a dedicated volunteer with Dogs Deserving Rescue for the past two years, using her compassionate heart and keen instincts to help dogs find their perfect forever homes. As a dog evaluator, she carefully assesses each pup’s personality and needs, ensuring they get the love and care they deserve.

A dental hygienist by day, Maria brings the same gentle touch and patience to her work with rescue dogs. She has a special way of speaking to them—like babies—making even the most nervous pups feel safe and loved. At home, she cherishes her two Angel Chihuahuas, who continue to inspire her dedication to rescue work.

Maria’s love for dogs is matched only by the love she shares with her husband, Tim, and the excitement of welcoming their first child. As her family grows, so does her passion for giving every dog a second chance.

Through every wag, every cuddle, and every carefully placed pup, Maria reminds us that rescue is more than just a mission—it’s a labor of love.
