Patricia is a board member for MCP and leads the organization’s Pawsitivity events, which focus on fun, community, and wellness. She grew up with dogs and a variety of pets, making her involvement with MCP especially meaningful. She first became involved in 2019 when she fostered a high-medical-needs dog named Thor, who ultimately became a permanent part of her family.

She is deeply passionate about MCP Rescue, its mission, its people, and, of course, its dogs. When she joined the board, she saw an opportunity to further grow the MCP community through group fundraising events such as workout classes, Chicago races, and wellness gatherings, which led to the creation of MCP’s Pawsitivity events.

Being part of this incredible rescue has brought immense joy to her life and remains a true passion. She encourages others to support MCP by donating, attending events, or fostering a dog in need.
