We are a community driven canine rescue focused on rehabilitation, training, and saving one more set of paws. Our mission is to find loving forever homes for displaced and mistreated dogs. We promote awareness in animal welfare and cruelty prevention while educating the public about the humane treatment of animals.
Our Values
Integrity, compassion, and motivating culture are the guiding principles of the legacy that we are striving to create. We use these principles to help us improve community relations, social responsibility, and strengthen our bond with organizations that we partner with. Excellence and consistency drive our passions as we create the next phase of Wags and Wiggles Rescue’s future.
Christiane Dionne, MBA
Consulting, Executive Director
Christiane is passionate about animal advocacy, community development and proper training methods for our dogs at the rescue. You will often see her out in the field working our dogs or at the top of a mountain. In her spare time, Christiane enjoys spending time with her Golden Retriever.
Kendra Kinscherf
Kendra started with Wags and Wiggles as a volunteer, but given her passion for animal rescue and our organization, she has added Board member to her roster. Kendra has been a lawyer since 2007 and has previous experience with a variety of nonprofit organizations. Kendra, her husband, and her 2 rescue dogs primarily live in Massachusetts, but spend most weekends in Newbury. When Kendra is not working or walking the pups, you can find her on the hiking trail, tennis courts, or ski slopes.
Rachel Benoit, MBA
Meet Rachel, a true animal lover with an unwavering passion for canines! As a devoted caretaker to her beloved fur babies, Lenny and Jax, she understands the importance of providing a nurturing environment and loving home for every four-legged friend in need. She brings a unique blend of skills to the board, leveraging her expertise in project management and strategic event coordination. When Rachel is not busy taking care of her furry companions or lending a hand at the rescue, she can be found capturing beautiful moments through the lens of her camera.
