Samantha shares her home with her boyfriend Ian, their two cats, Neo and Jimmy, and their ferret, Smacky. She would love to rescue many more animals, but Ian has put her on a rescue pet limit. Samantha also has a beagle, Rufus, who lives with her Mother since her apartment is full; although she sees him every day. Fortunately, Samantha loves winter time when her and Rufus can play daily in the snow!

Samantha loves seeing and helping animals every day, but is currently going to school to get her Masters in Social Work at UW – Madison. In her free time Samantha loves spending time with family and friends, watching movies, reading, and anything Johnny Depp!
