Lynett Smith

Growing up in a home filled with animals fostered my love for them and a sense of responsibility for their care. I embraced the role of caretaker, enjoying daily tasks like feeding and grooming, which deepened my connection with various species. I’ve had chickens, birds, a snake, plenty of fish, hamsters, rabbits, cats, dogs, turtles, and even a pig.

As I matured, my fascination with animal behavior led me to read extensively about animal welfare, and landed me volunteering with Street paws! This passion culminated in joining Street Paws, where I found a community focused on providing care to street animals.

Working with Street Paws allows me to turn my childhood experiences into meaningful action, highlighting the reciprocal love and lessons learned from caring for animals. My early life shaped my commitment to animal rescue and a fulfilling life dedicated to helping those without a voice.
