Steph Poole
Founder & Owner
My love of rescue dogs started early at the age of just six. My dad’s love of rescue dogs instilled a sense of deep empathy for them. I have spent many decades adopting rescues, fostering, finding homes for them and transporting them to their forever homes. While loving my life long teaching career, I decided to put everything I had into finding a space where dogs can thrive, whether for the day, overnight care or staying at the ranch until they can find their forever family. I have worked with Sayulitanimals for over eight years and will continue to work in collaboration with them. My heart is also dedicated to helping special needs, older and long term shelter dogs. I am beyond excited to offer this land for all dogs to THRIVE!

dog lover, Turning Points helper
My dog journey began in Thailand where I adopted my first pup, Tim, while living abroad. Since 2020, I’ve been fostering dogs and have helped many find their forever homes. My second dog, Mili ended up becoming a part of my family after a foster fail from Sayulitanimals! I’m eager to continue connecting dogs with loving families and helping people find their perfect furry friends. Looking forward to making more happy matches!
