Christie Brown
Founder of Tranquility Sanctuary
As the founder of this nonprofit animal rescue shelter located in Charlotte, North Carolina, Christie's journey is a testament to a lifelong dedication to the well-being of our furry companions.
Christie's affinity for animals began at a tender age, growing up surrounded by the stunning landscapes of Alaska. From rescuing ducks and rabbits to fearless encounters with snakes, her compassionate spirit has been a driving force since the age of 7. This early passion laid the foundation for what would become Tranquility Sanctuary, a haven for animals in need.
A licensed professional dog groomer renowned for operating one of the top Grooming Spas in Charlotte, NC, Christie's expertise extends far beyond the grooming table. With comprehensive experience in handling and caring for animals of all kinds, she ensures that each resident at Tranquility Sanctuary receives the highest level of attention and care. Her commitment to their well-being goes beyond the physical; Christie is also CPR certified, providing a holistic approach to the care of our beloved animals.
Christie's vision for Tranquility Sanctuary is rooted in providing more than just shelter. It's about creating a sanctuary that mirrors the love, compassion, and second chances that every animal deserves. Join us in celebrating Christie's lifelong commitment to animal welfare and her role as the driving force behind Tranquility Sanctuary.
But our mission extends beyond sheltering animals. We are passionate about finding permanent homes for our beloved companions. Through our innovative adoption programs and extensive outreach efforts, we work tirelessly to match each animal with a loving family that will provide a lifetime of love, companionship, and happiness.
At Tranquility Sanctuary, we believe in the power of education and community engagement. We actively promote responsible pet ownership, humane treatment, and the importance of spaying and neutering. By fostering a culture of empathy and understanding, we aim to create a ripple effect of compassion that reaches far beyond our sanctuary's walls.
Behind our mission stands a team of dedicated and experienced animal lovers. Their unwavering commitment and tireless efforts ensure that every animal in our care receives the highest level of compassion, veterinary care, and emotional support. We believe in giving animals a voice and advocating for their rights, always striving to create a better world for them.
Join us on our journey towards a future where every animal finds their forever home, where their wagging tails and gentle purrs fill homes with joy and warmth. Together, let's create a world where tranquility, love, and respect define our relationship with all living beings.
