Honoring Jacquie Barker

Dear Pets Bring Joy Family and Supporters, It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the news of the passing of our beloved founder and Executive Director, Jacquie Barker. Jacquie dedicated her heart and life to rescuing animals, giving them hope, love, and a second chance at life. Pets Bring Joy was her passion and her legacy, and the countless lives she touched—both two-legged and four-legged—are a testament to the incredible person she was. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Jacquie's husband, Steve, has requested that any gifts celebrating Jacquie's life be made to Pets Bring Joy. We invite you to honor her memory by considering a gift to the rescue, helping us continue the work she loved so dearly.
