Meet the Team

Say hello to just a few of the amazing souls who call EAC Paws and Claws home. Each one has a story—and a second chance—thanks to your support

  • Bella arrived at the sanctuary with more than a few battle scars—missing fur, severe flea infestation, and painful ear infections. But none of that dimmed her spirit. With every passing day, she’s healing, growing more comfortable, and showing the world what quiet courage looks like.

    Behind those big, soulful eyes is a survivor who's learning how to trust, love, and thrive. She’s not just recovering—she’s blooming.

  • Bullet is our wise and loyal companion who believes in harmony across species. Known for his calm presence and protective instincts, Bullet has a gift for making everyone—from newly rescued animals to tiny chicks—feel safe and seen. Whether he’s gently greeting guests or basking in the grass with his feathered friends, Bullet radiates compassion and connection.

    His quiet leadership reminds us that kindness doesn’t always bark—it often just listens🐾

  • Salem glides through the sanctuary like a little shadow with purpose. Perched on windowsills or nestled in cozy corners, he’s always watching—and somehow always knowing. While he may seem reserved at first glance, those who earn his trust are rewarded with deep purrs and moonlit snuggles.

    His soothing presence is a reminder that healing often starts in the stillness, and even the most independent spirits thrive with love

  • Cheese and Qwackers are the dynamic duck duo who bring laughter and lightness to the sanctuary. Whether they’re bobbing for apple bits in their pool or waddling side-by-side like feathered comedians, these two know how to turn ordinary moments into pure joy. Cheese, the curious pecker, is always first to investigate snacks and visitors alike, while Qwackers prefers to observe with a mellow quack and a knowing glance.

    Together, they remind us that healing doesn’t always come from grand gestures—it can come from a splash, a giggle, or a shared bite of fruit. Their bond is a testament to friendship, resilience, and the simple magic of being present.

    Because sometimes, the heart of the sanctuary isn’t just in the barn—it’s floating in a kiddie pool 🦆💦
