Support for Animal Rescuers & Wildlife Rehabbers
Helping you keep going — without losing yourself in the process.
Because your heart matters, and being strong shouldn’t mean being alone.
Giving space for the ones who care endlessly
You give everything for the animals — and often, there’s no space left for you.
Whether you’re a wildlife rehabber, foster coordinator, transporter, vet tech, or rescue founder… You carry the invisible weight of grief, urgency, heartbreak, and hope, all at once. You try to navigate through the tension of online criticism and the relentless push to “fix” it all.
This is a safe refuge. A place where you can find deep relief and comforting solace, knowing that you’re not alone in your emotional journey.
Not as a rescuer.
Not as a role.
But as a fellow human being with real emotions, needs, and limits, just like you. Your unique experiences and feelings are deeply understood and valued here. You don’t have to hold it all alone, because we’re here to share the burden with you.
What This Unique Support Offers:
These are not therapy sessions.
They’re not strategy calls.
And they’re not generic coaching sessions.
These are personalized emotional support sessions designed for the unique emotional landscape of animal rescue. Together, we’ll process what you’re holding and reconnect you with the parts of yourself that may feel buried beneath burnout.
You’ll receive a nurturing environment and learn tools to:
- Process grief and loss after difficult outcomes
- Unpack burnout, guilt, or compassion fatigue
- Navigate conflict, criticism, and social media bullying
- Reconnect with your emotional values and set healthy boundaries
- Talk openly about the cases and conversations that linger in the heart
- Regulate your nervous system and stay grounded during high-stress moments
- Explore what sustainability in this work really looks like for you
For Those in the Rescue & Care World:
As the founder of Pandora’s Hope, I’ve spent years witnessing the emotional toll of this work.
I’ve also lived it through my own experiences as a volunteer, foster parent, and hands-on rescuer.
I know what it’s like to lose sleep over one animal, to feel crushed by criticism, dragged into unnecessary drama, and Pandora’s box showing I’ve even when your heart is breaking.
That’s why I offer these emotional support sessions, created with deep respect for the people who give so much.
This is a space to care for you, not just your mission.
- That’s why I offer dedicated emotional support sessions at a special, sliding-scale rate for:
- Animal rescuers and wildlife rehabbers
- Shelter and sanctuary workers
- Foster caregivers and transporters
- Vet staff and on-the-ground animal aid volunteers
This offering is about tending to you, providing a comforting space where you can keep doing the work you love without losing yourself in the process.

FAQ: Transparency & Boundaries
Anyone in the animal care and rescue world who is feeling emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from their joy, or in need of a supportive space to breathe.
Absolutely. This space is safe for all the emotions your work brings—whether it’s grief over unplaced animals, anger at online trolling, fear around backlash, or burnout. We’ll explore it all with compassion and understanding.
No. While I lead Pandora’s Hope as its founder, this offering is part of my private coaching practice. It’s not required, promoted, or expected of any member.
No, these sessions are not therapy. They are a dedicated space for emotional support, personal reflection, and growth. If you’re navigating acute trauma or a mental health crisis, I strongly recommend working with a licensed therapist.
That said, this work goes beyond just support. You’ll also gain practical tools, frameworks, and gentle practices that you can use both in your personal life and your rescue work, empowering you to cope with the challenges of your work in lasting ways.
That’s okay. You don’t need to have it all figured out.
The clarity call is a gentle, no-pressure space to explore what kind of support might be most helpful for you right now.
Not at all. You can book just one session or explore further if it feels helpful.
