Emma Pimentel

Bug’s Burrow is founded by Emma Pimentel, who’s sole passion in life has been to rescue, aid and provide love to animals in need. Emma has dedicated a copious amount of her life fostering unhoused animals, providing food and supplies to shelters, and donating her time to volunteer. It had become clear to Emma in her adulthood that her calling would be to open up a non-euthanasia, safe haven for animals who are on their journey of recovery and hopefully adoption. Emma’s primary focus is the well being and success for the gentle souls of animals who have been failed by humans, and put them on a path of rehabilitation, love and peace.
