Caring, tough and very resourceful, Tamie Kinsel is ready for just about any call that comes her way. She can be on a roof or down a hole in minutes — she does whatever it takes when danger strikes man's best friend!

Tamie has been working in animal welfare since 1997. Before working with the Arizona Humane Society, she was an adoptions counselor with Animal Foundation International and worked at a major pet supply retailer.

Tamie shares her life with a polydactyl cat appropriately named Seis, a munchkin kitty named Boca and three Siamese kittens named Sampson, Delilah and Jonah.

What motivates you to come to work every day?
"I know these animals need the love and protection they deserve. This job makes me a better person because I can make a difference in the life of an animal."

Personal Interests
In her spare time, Tamie enjoys traveling and going to the movies.
