Michelle Underwood
Director / CEO
Michelle Underwood has been actively involved in animal rescue since 2014. She jumped in with both feet fostering a momma dog and her 8 puppies and has been hooked ever since. Before founding Furget Me Not, her experience in rescue included being the foster home coordinator, developing procedures for puppy fosters and medical protocol for Parvo puppies. Along with her daughter, Anna Grace, they have treated more than 300 Parvo puppies.
Animal rescue is a family affair with her husband, Brett and son, Ian, helping wherever needed. Her son, Whitt Proctor, helps with event setup and transportation and daughter, Anna Grace, helps with the daily care while working at a vet clinic and going to college to become a veterinarian. She has foster failed more times than she will admit and has a soft spot for seniors, allowing them to live out the rest of their lives in her home.

In addition to animal rescue, Sara’s passions include talking (a lot!) and anything and everything sparkly.
