Cindy lives in St. Paul, Minnesota with her husband and two rescued pets and a revolving door of foster animals. Her two adult children live independently with their own menageries. She muses about the parallels between people and pets in her weekly newsletter, Like People, Like Pets, at cindyojczyk.substack.com. When her foster kittens are tucked into their safe room and the dogs have had ample exercise, you can find her helping “both ends of the leash.” Her favorite places to volunteer include Who Will Let The Dogs Out, an animal welfare program on an Indian reservation, and a non-profit that delivers pet wellness to unhoused individuals.
