Sam Cheirif is a professional copywriter, and has been an animal rescue volunteer for eight years. She started fostering almost seven years ago, and has since been a foster mom to over 100 dogs, with only four becoming permanent residents. She lives in LIC with her husband, son, two rescue pit bulls, and a cranky old hospice foster. You can follow their adventures on IG @pigpenthepittie.
