I have always had an interest or more like a love for animals ever since I can remember. As a young
girl I can think back to days walking home from school and seeing a dog on the sidewalk and
encourage it home with me.  I would then tell my mother that this dog was lost and needed to find it's
home. They were always from the neighborhood, but I always thought they were lost and were afraid.  I
grew up with at least three dogs in the house. My first dog that was given to me was a rescue from the
pound. This rescue was a mix and I named her Fanny Mae because her tail would wag so hard from
being so happy. The next dog I can remember was Turkey. She was an owner surrender from a friend
of the family. All during these time these dogs were my best
friends.

Oh yes, we did have other dogs in the house equally wonderful but nothing like my friends. When I
would get into trouble, I wouldn't be grounded to my room...I would be grounded from playing, petting,
or talking to my friends. That was the worst punishment I could have ever had. As the years went on I
would find sick or injured animals and bring them home. I would at anytime either have a sick bird that
a cat had caught to a mouse. My daughter Theresa and I found a crow that had fallen out
of its nest. We named him Edgar Allen Crow which we nursed back to full growth so that he could
return to the wild and do what crows do best. I have tried to instill a sense of love and passion in my
daughter also when it comes to animals. From an early age I kept my daughter around horses, dogs,
cats, cows, birds, and any other I could muster up for her to learn about.

Since moving here to Utah I have become more passionate about rescuing. Raising a pup from one
day old to bottle feeding kittens when their mother was killed. I started being a foster mom in 2000 for
a rescue group called Wag-n-Train and I also worked for a Veterinarian in the community. I continue
learning so that I can grow and better help the animals around me. I have learned that holistic
medicine works quite well in cases of Parvo, Kennel Cough, Separation anxiety, and other illness. I
have also learned and passed on that training in a non-aggressive manner with positive
reinforcements which also help build trust and loyalty in an animal.

Starting the Fullmer menagerie with my husband Lyle has been a dream turned to reality. I have high
hopes that I can touch the lives of a few unwanted and unloved animals along with education the
community just a bit on animal rescue and how they can help.
This is just some of our
own pets at home, which
we have rescued.

How I Got Started
Kendall Thomas a freshman in High
School taking stitches out of our colt
Drifters leg.  He is in the local FFA
program and has goals of becoming a
Vet.  We try to assist and work with
young teenagers who have goals of
going into the animal science field by
getting them hands on with our Vet Klell
Ekins at Gunnison Bend Vet Hospital in
Delta, Utah.
We try to train the horses
(Stormy and Bonnie) here at the
Menagerie to pack in for
weekend camping trips up in the
Mountains.  Of course we aways
have to take a dog or two.

Clementine a Chinese goose that was
injured and was frozen to the road is
doing her water rehab.  We at the
Fullmer Menagerie Animal Rescue Inc.
started doing rehab for Clementine to
teach her how to eat, walk and swim
again so she could return to her
gaggle of companions up on the
Menagerie.
