Christina's rescue journey began in 2018 when she adopted her first dog. Since then, she has adopted six dog and has fostered way too many to count. Christina started Unforgettable Paws Animal Rescue after years of fostering to have a greater influence on the livelihood of dogs in her area. In her free time, Christina loves to ride dirt bikes and four wheelers.
Raylea's rescue adventure began in March 2020 as a result of the pandemic. She started fostering, became an administrative assistant, and then partnered up with Christina to help start Unforgettable Paws! Raylea has since adopted 2 dogs and 4 cats. Raylea is currently in consulting but hoping to expand her love for dogs into dog training in the near future! In her free time, she enjoys reading, watching Reality TV, and training her pups.

Marlene first got into rescue with her childhood dog that was adopted in 2009 and has been a rescue lover since! She started with UPAR when she was looking to add a friend to her furry pack which consisted of Rey, a hound mix, and Luna, a black cat. When Marlene adopted Mango (pictured), she immediately knew this rescue family was for her and started as an administrative volunteer. Marlene likes to read and crafting when she isn't working/number crunching (accountant things), or being the best fur mom!
