Thank you for supporting our sanctuary community.
Our Volunteers
Beth & Glen
Beth and Glen have been part of the Pando village for over three years, but their story with us truly began the day they opened their hearts and home to Guapo.
Once a terrified new resident of Pando Sanctuary, Guapo had been pulled from a severe hoarding case, shut down and fearful of the world. In 2024, Beth and Glen adopted Guapo from Tiffany, and together with their gentle Nella, they poured endless love and training into both dogs until they became certified therapy teams.
Today, Guapo, the dog nobody thought would ever trust again, rests his head on a beautiful Personal crochet blanket from Beth and we'll never know a hungry day again I never know loneliness with Nella by his side. Beth and Glen show up every single time we need them, offering comfort, consistency, and the living proof that rescue plus love equals miracles.
They are not just volunteers. They are family, and they are why we never give up.
Irene Kyung
Irene Kyung first walked through our doors as a Pando Dog Training client with her two incredible bulldogs, Frankie and Maddie — and somehow never really left.
What started as training sessions turned into the sweetest friendship: every visit came with homemade treats for Tiffany, laughter that filled the kennels, and a heart so big it wrapped around every dog in sight. Irene and her amazing husband have become quiet pillars of Pando Foundation — showing up with donations, endless encouragement, and the kind of steady support that makes miracles feel possible.
Frankie and Maddie are now regular therapy visitors, bringing bulldog smiles to veterans and children who need them most. Irene’s kindness reminds us daily that the best volunteers don’t just help — they become family.
We are endlessly grateful for Irene Kyung: friend, cheerleader, and living proof that love smells like fresh-baked treats and bulldog snorts. 💕
Joe Luke
Joe and his incredible wife Nikki, and their entire Pau Hana bulldog family have been with Pando Foundation since the very first heartbeat.
They didn’t just support us; they helped build us. They have generously placed multiple English Bulldogs into our therapy program — each one a walking bundle of wrinkles and love — and have never missed an event when we needed an extra squishy face to brighten someone’s day. Whether it’s loading up the car at a moment’s notice, showing up with smiling dogs and even bigger smiles, or quietly covering whatever gap appears, Joe and Nikki have been the definition of day-one believers.
Their love, loyalty, and endless generosity are woven into every gentle bulldog nudge that helps a veteran breathe easier or makes a child laugh for the first time in months.
Joe and Nikki aren’t supporters. They are family — and Pando would not be home without them. 🐾❤️
