About Jen
Hi, I’m Jennifer Nelson (Jen), the founder and voice behind Embora Pets. I am a pet lover and have been active in animal rescue for over 20 years. I’ve helped rescue dogs, cats, birds, and even exotic pets like snakes, and axolotls (what is an axolotl – beginners guide).

Embora Pets Mission
The unconditional love and attention you get from having a pet in your house is an experience I believe everyone should have. As a child growing up, if I had a bad day at school or something was bothering me, I always knew when I got home our dog Ginger would be there to cuddle with me and make me feel better.
Our mission at Embora Pets is the educate new and current pet owners with helpful information to make pet ownership a rewarding and emotionally positive experience. Yes, we all face challenges with our pets, but Embora Pets wants to be your go-to resource for raising a happy and healthy pet.
