How we became Adoption First
Founder Staci Ventura and her husband Eric Crespo began to develop the idea of Adoption First Animal Rescue in 2011 while working for a rescue in the San Diego, CA area. When Eric was stationed in North Carolina the two realized how much help the rural areas needed and decided to pursue the idea of Adoption First! The Rescue officially started on October 1, 2013, and received its 501c3 status as an official nonprofit organization in 2014. Since then, the rescue has developed a great team of volunteers and established a board of directors who run the day-to-day operations. The rescue expanded to Kentucky when one of the fosters moved and decided to open a branch there in 2019.
