About Claire

Hi! I'm an experienced animal care professional and lifelong shelter volunteer who's worked hands-on with animals of all shapes, sizes, and needs. I currently work at the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland, caring for dogs, cats, and small animals daily. Previously, I was the Director of Operations at a giant-breed rescue in Georgia that specialized in medically complex and behaviorally challenging dogs. I'm comfortable with medication administration, special diets, training support, fear-free handling, and managing high-needs or sensitive animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra TLC, I'm confident, calm, and deeply committed to their safety and happiness.
