kallie north
Co-Founder Kallie North has been rescuing stray animals for as long as she can remember. She is mom to 8 rescue animals—6 dogs and 2 cats. Her move to Nicaragua in 2019 revealed the huge need for animal medical care in rural communities. Wanting to take immediate & direct action, she called her friend Claudia to help organize a spay/neuter clinic—and Escamequita Love was born.
