About us

My name is Kelsey Sotiracopoulos and I am the president and co-founder of Pellegrino & Friends. I have been passionate about animal rescue my whole life and am happiest when surrounded by animals.

Together with my husband, we have rescued and rehabilitated many animals over the years. We love to support animal rescue organizations and wanted to create our own organization to bring awareness and funding to our partner rescues abroad. Without these rescues, many animals would be suffering and left uncared for. We founded Pellegrino & Friends because many of our friends would ask us how they can get involved and help aid animal rescue efforts. By donating to Pellegrino & Friends, your donation will go towards our partner rescue organizations and assist with medicine, surgeries, care, housing, and all other rescue efforts!
