Kelley Schmitt Gargiulo
Foster Cooridnator for Islands and Downtown Areas/Graphic Designer
Kelley came to Coastal Pet Rescue as many do…“I found a dog.” But the thing that many don’t do if offer services and stick with it. A graphic artist by profession, Kelley offered to the rescue a valuable service that helps project the professional image of the rescue to the community.
Having been blessed with a compassionate heart, animals have been a part of her life always. The best parts of her life.
