Portrait of Shelley Savage

Shelley Savage

Four years ago, I was an extra pair of hands for Robin's Nest Rescue's inaugural music festival. I was so impressed by the organization of that event and the level of planning and attention to detail, that I wanted to be more involved…and I hadn't even met all the animals then. Now, as then, it is a beautiful, natural, safe space for all beings. The respect, care, compassion, dignity and kindness received at Robin's Nest by both animals and human beings is beyond anything I've ever encountered. Making a huge difference to the lives of their rescues and gladly sharing up close, meaningful connections with visitors is the essence of Robin's Nest. It's the most magical of encounters!
