Owner/Operator
I've taken care of animals all my life while living on my family farm. Dogs have always seemed to be my favorite, but I adore all of God's creatures.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Biology, which allowed me to do in-depth research focusing on animal behaviors. I've fostered dogs and cats through Young-Williams since about 2017. I also have my own crew of rescues that consists of five dogs and one cat.
I'm also a part time actress/model, and enjoy working on documentaries and commercials the most.

Sarah was raised on a 100-acre cow farm outside of Farmland, Indiana. She had many animals including: cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits (4h), cats, dogs, goats, turtles and fish. By the time she was 10, she had a small barn set up with an area for chickens and an area that was turned into a cat and bunny house! In her teen years, she volunteered at a horse farm, helped bottle feed baby racoons and care for peach-faced love birds! As an adult, she has cared for many pets all the way from birth to senior days! She now lives on Sara's family's farm in the original farm house, which happens to be next to owner Sara's house and Sara's Waggy tails!

Jenelle has been doing marketing/advertising for the past 20 years. She's known for her punny wit, which is something we woof around here. Her love for dogs started as a child, and she has been adopting/rescuing pups since 2009.
She has volunteered at Young-Williams Animal Center for 11 years and been a foster mom for the last four years. She's learned a lot about animal care from her three years of petsitting and her own four dogs. Lauren's passion is animal welfare, and rescue dogs are her heart. You can find her volunteering with ChainFree Knoxville as well!
.Aspen loves all of the puppers and has loved getting to know some of the animals that go to Sara's Waggy Tails. She's in college currently at MTSU, majoring in veterinary science. She's so happy to have been able to join the team, and we're happy to have her!
