Hailey grew up around animals of all shapes and sizes and began her experiences in animal sheltering at the age of 11. She completed her BA in Psychology with a minor in Creative Writing and then a Master’s in Animals and Public Policy from Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in 2017. Since then, she has pursued her calling in animal sheltering and behavior, striving to help improve the lives of homeless and owned pets. She is a certified professional dog trainer and is particularly passionate about working with behaviorally challenging and at risk animals, as well as helping create a bridge of understanding and communication between these animals and the humans that love them.
