Our Name
Meet our Board of Directors
Founder/ President
Melanie founded TiPPR in 2023 while she was working as a Kennel Tech for a city shelter and she has been working full-time for the nonprofit ever since. When she's not tending to the pets, at an event, or doing admin you can find her at home hanging out with her daughter Nia and her 10 year old dog Bambi.
Vice President
Clint is an experienced dog trainer out of Beaumont TX who volunteers his time, knowledge, and boarding space for TiPPR and a few other organizations. When he's not with the training or rescue dogs he dedicates his time to his daughter Madi and his personal dogs Martha and Sofia.
Advisor
Melanie is a Veterinary Technician at an animal hospital but despite her busy work life she still volunteers her time and knowledge to TiPPR and the dogs in our program! When she's not working Melanie prioritizes time with her family and their pack of 5 rescue dogs.
Volunteer CoordinatorÂ
Kristie reached out to TiPPR for help with a dog that was dumped near her home and the rest is history! Kristie quickly became a vital component of our events and a fierce advocate for the rescue. When she isn't helping us and the dogs she is out helping members of the community or spending time with her husband Glen (who also volunteers when he's not working).
