Kansas City, MO— Kate Quigley, also known as the Dog Lady or Miss Kate is busy working six days a week, driving into high-poverty neighborhoods to find abused and abandoned animals. Going door-to-door speaking with owners, leaving supplies to better their dog’s lives and borrowing their pets to be spayed and neutered. Her truck is filled with dog food and treats, bowls, hay for insulation, squeaky toys and ready-to-assemble doghouses. “Donations go in the door and then right back out,” says Kate.

After working for other organizations Quigley has recently started her own nonprofit, Chain of Hope. Its mission is to break the chain of ignorance for pet owners who neglect their outside dogs. Dogs around the world-rover appreciate Kate’s dedication and determination, this world needs more people like her!
