Crisis Line - 1-800-273-8255
Mimi joined the Patriot K9’s organization as a volunteer in 2019 and became a member of the board in 2020.
Mimi served in the Army Reserves as a combat medic from 1991-1999.
She was the first in her family to earn a bachelor’s degree, graduating with a degree in social work. She now works as a Certified Social Worker in the Wausau area.
Dogs have always been a big part of Mimi’s life. Her and her family have had dogs for 22 years and have had German Shepherds for the last 12. She has three daughters, and the youngest have their own German Shepherds and train in Schutzhund.
Mimi continues to serve with Patriot K9’s because “I feel that this is a great way to help those veterans that need that added assistance to live a long healthy life.”
When Mimi isn’t helping at Patriot K9’s, she’s spending time with her family and gets involved at her daughter’s school.
