Ishika SamantCo-FounderMy name is Ishika and I am currently a high school sophomore. I have loved animals all of my life, and as I grew older I realized that there is so much you can do to help the animal population. I started first advocating for adoption when I was eleven years when I adopted my dog, Ally. When I was in the process of adopting I realized that there we so many dogs in need of homes in the shelter system. Two years later I started volunteering at animal shelters and have collected over 300 hours of volunteering experience with animals. Additionally, we also open up our homes to foster animals who cannot live comfortably in an animal shelter environment. Founding aPaw Project is just another step in my journey in helping more animals, and advocating to support animal shelters to a larger audience.
