J. Berry Founder/President

J. Berry founded TPC after rescuing Libby (An All American Mix Breed) from a local shelter while volunteering.

J decided to sell a 28 acre farm which she inherited from her Grandparents, to start up the rescue mission in Northern Kentucky, and feels this is the mission God has called upon her.

J has no children, but has been married for 10+ years and has three canine kids (Rosco, Jr. and Libby) and a kitty named Mila.

J is no stranger to animals, as she was raised outside Tampa on a 30 acre farm which cared for Greyhounds and Quarter Horses.  She also worked as a Veterinary Assistant for a short time. 

TPC was founded on the Christian values and beliefs.

J is very active in TPC and works very closely with all foster parents, and volunteers.

Chris, Secretary

Chris joined our team in January 2004. She first learned of TPC Animal Rescue when we still had a small Second-Hand pet supply store at Richwood Flea Market. She became very active in the rescue when we moved into the center in Erlanger. With the support and dedication from Chris, the rescue was able to make the transition into a Foster Care Program, which has helped turn the rescue around.

Along with working with Homes for Greyhounds, DreamHouse Ferret Rescue and being an active member of her church, Chris always finds the time for her family, which includes her husband, daughter and her four legged kids.  

Chris, and her kids. All her pets are rescues, including Homes For Greyounds, and WoodStock in Lexington.

Kelly
Website Coordinator & Newsletter Writer

Kelly came to TPC in 2006.  Her interest in web design made her a good fit as the website coordinator for the rescue.  Her love for writing and compiling articles has also made her a fit for the newsletter writing.

She is one of our "kitty girls", as she sometimes fosters kittens and cats for TPC.  She currently has 5 cats (Annika, Figaro, Tiger, Sergio & Jaq).

Although she has many cats, she loves all animals.  Three of her cats are purebred Bengals. 

Kelly is originally from MI but moved to Northern KY for her job in 2004.  Hoping to help animals and find a new outlet for her love for cats and dogs, she emailed TPC to see if there could be a place for her. 

She has helped with transporting many cats to and from the vet offices before and after their spays/neuters but primary position in the rescue is the website and newsletter.

Nina, Foster Parent and Volunteer

Nina has helped with several animals including Shelby Lynn and Oreo (whom she dog-sat for while her milk dried up). She also worked as a puppy daycare for Vanity, Tori, and Prince (the poodle puppies).  In addition, she fostered and provided a forever home for Scruffy. She also helps TPC with picking up donations.

In addition to her work with TPC, Nina enjoys volunteering at Boone County Animal Shelter. 

Nina and her husband, Kurt, also helped host a Girl Scout tour with Hebron Animal Hospital offering the opportunity for TPC to collect many needed items.

We are blessed to have Nina as a part of our rescue!

Kelly Ann, Foster parent and volunteer

Kelly Ann loves all types of animals, especially cats.  She has three cats of her own: Cassie, Tommy and Tigeress. 

Kelly Ann has done a number of interesting volunteer tasks for TPC. She has fostered a couple of cats and some kittens.  Kelly Ann has also assisted in nursing some of the sick kittens to health, when needed, prior to their adoption. 

Thanks for all your help, Kelly Ann!
