Kimmy Chandler Founder
Kimmy Chandler, Founder of FLUFF Animal Rescue began saving lives at an early age. “Finding homes for unwanted and abandoned animals has always been a passion,” says Chandler. Since the age of 15, Kimmy has been a teacher to students of all ages-both inside and out of the classroom and has been caring for stray and resident animals as a display of her belief that “It is our job to care for God’s creatures”. In 2016, Chandler was able to realize her full potential as a teacher and animal rescuer, and during an afternoon luncheon with her immediate family, a new community non-profit rescue was born. Then 6-yr-old daughter, Alex coined the name “FLUFF”, and both Alex and the rescue have grown substantially over the past 5 years. “We have seen many faces come and go since our inception, but I am confident with a solid team of animal lovers by my side, the animals will always win”.
