I began my first journey to Antigua in 2000 with friends and have been traveling to Antigua ever since. It was when Hurricaine Irma hit that I became involved with DCOA by starting a fundraiser in the states for the animals and headed to Antigua with much needed medical supplies, flea and tick products and food. i travel to Antigua approximately 3-4 times a year with a friend so we can bring the overflow of dogs back to the states and get them into wonderful homes. The team of DCOA are amazing and I have forged live long friendships. I have worked with animal for over 40 years, have a degree in Animal Science and Behavior, worked in the Veterinary field for 14 years, and own a Doggy Daycare/Boarding Facility.
