Lindsey Stanek

Lindsey, a Greenville, South Carolina native, married Jim in January of 2010.  For almost two years, she worked for a Veterinary Clinic in Junction City, Kansas.  While training and working as a Veterinary Assistant, she experienced firsthand the frustration with animal cruelty, neglect, and abandoned animals. Lindsey cared for Jim during his stay at Brook Army Medical Center, and after seeing the impact the therapy dogs had on his recovery, adopted a young female Catahoula mix dog whom he affectionately named, "Sarge."  After moving to Rio Rancho, New Mexico in 2010, Lindsey began working at a local veterinary clinic again, doing what she loves - helping animals.  Her passion for dogs and love of her country and the men who have sacrificed so much to protect it was a huge motivator for the conception of Jim and Lindsey's dream.  Now, she works full time, around the clock running the program.  Paws and Stripes™ was established to help dogs and veterans just like Sarge and Jim.
