This month’s Volunteer Spotlight is all about Denise Aucoin, who currently serves as one of our volunteer directors and was also one of the founding members of the organization in January of 2003. When Beagle Paws was formed, Denise had two beagles that her family had gotten as pups and a third that she found in poor condition (Teddy).
After adopting Teddy, Denise became obsessed with helping to create a better life for beagles in NL.
Over the past 20 years, Denise has been a proud dog mom to 11 lucky beagles! She has always had multiple dogs at a time, including many sick foster dogs that needed to be nursed back to health. She even permanently adopted several of her fosters over the years. According to Denise, “That’s what I love, taking home the down-and-outs, making them well, and giving them a better life.”
Denise has been a teacher throughout the entire time she’s been helping with Beagle Paws, and she has been involved in forming and promoting Animal Rights Clubs to school age children. Denise is a true animal lover, and her genuine concern for the well-being of beagles is heartwarming. She explained, “Before Beagle Paws I was not sleeping, obsessing on those little beagle faces I’d see peering out through wire, and unable to do anything. I had a plan drawn up for a beagle sanctuary, before Beagle Paws even existed. Helping form this organization has been the greatest accomplishment of my life.”
