From a young age, Dr. Roxanna Bree has been a devoted advocate for animals. At just seven years old, she began rescuing bunnies from dangerous situations, showcasing her deep compassion for animal welfare. By 38, she had founded a small at-home sanctuary dedicated to sheltering and caring for vulnerable creatures, achieving remarkable progress in the realm of animal protection. Her lifelong mission emphasizes the critical necessity of animal rescue and the preservation of wildlife and their habitats, reflecting her steadfast commitment to making a meaningful difference.

Dr. Bree’s journey has beautifully unfolded, enriched by diverse experiences that have shaped her path. Initially, she aspired to carve out a successful career in scientific research, focusing on animal medical studies — her true passion. However, her trajectory took a transformative turn when she decided to pursue a degree in naturopathic medicine, envisioning a medical retreat within a dog sanctuary. She firmly believed that incorporating rescue animals into healing practices could yield profound benefits for both humans and animals.
During her final year of medical training, the COVID-19 pandemic led Dr. Bree to reassess her plans. In a courageous pivot, she shifted her focus toward animal medicine, aligning her career with her deepest passions.

In addition to her rigorous academic pursuits, Dr. Bree holds a PhD in animal science and currently serves as a dedicated exotic animal caretaker. She constantly devises innovative initiatives for animal rescue, firmly believing that no dream is too ambitious. At one point, she even considered a career as a wolf biologist, reflecting her profound admiration for wildlife.

Inspired deeply by the Irwin family, Dr. Bree aspires to leave a lasting legacy through her contributions to vital animal protection and conservation efforts, mirroring their remarkable achievements in the field. She hopes her work will inspire future generations to champion animal rights.
