Our Volunteers
Amanda Fuller KPA-CTP, CTDI, Certified Fear Free Professional
Co-Founder
Keller's Cause Founder Amanda Fuller couldn't help but fall in love with double merle dogs after bringing Keller in to her life.
Amanda has dedicated her free time to teaching the public about double merles, and how to live with a special needs dog. Her love for animals is present in all aspects of her life as she works full time as a Fear Free Certified veterinary technician. She is also a graduate of the Karen Pryor Academy (KPA) and is a Certified Trick Dog Instructor (CTDI).
When she isn't working, doing educational events, or rescuing dogs, she spends all her time with her dogs Canon, Kai, Calamity, and Keller. They enjoy playing, hiking, and competing in agility, rally obedience, and other various events.
