From day one Jan has guided Paws for Friendship through its many accomplishments including achieving international status when volunteers in Okinawa, Germany, England, and Australia joined the organization as participants.
We are all Volunteers and we have never had any paid staff. This will never change. We have always stayed true to our Mission statement: "volunteers sharing the unconditional love of their personal pets with people in need throughout the world." - Jan
