Katlyn Donnell

Story

Katlyn’s journey with DFW Pug Rescue began in 2019 when she first crossed paths with the organization while serving as the Director of Operations at Vickery Place Animal Hospital. In August 2022, her family bid a heartfelt farewell to their beloved dog, Wolfgang, a Doberman mix. In the subsequent months, Katlyn began to sense her family was ready to embrace the idea of fostering for DFW Pug Rescue. 

Her initial foster, Frank, barely spent 24 hours at her home before it became clear he was there to stay. Frank’s presence in her life ignited a deep love for pugs within Katlyn, inspiring her to take a more active role in supporting the rescue. This newfound passion led Katlyn to open her home as a weekend retreat for pugs in need whenever veterinary offices were closed, creating a truly rewarding experience. 

However, Katlyn’s desire to contribute even more to the rescue grew. After months of collaboration efforts, DFW Pugs acknowledged Katlyn’s unwavering dedication, leading to her invitation to join their board as the Communications Director. In this pivotal role, she will take the helm of the social media team, leveraging her profound expertise in team leadership to advance the organization’s mission.
