Annie Wilson

Writer/Star

Annie currently volunteers for multiple rescues: Muttville, Alameda Animal Shelter, Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue and RabbitEARS. She has her bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and is currently pursuing her Masters in Advanced Counter Terrorism and Homeland Security. It's her dream to solve crimes, prosecute animal abusers, and start a rescue that saves dogs from being euthanized to make space in our shelters.
