About Joni
Joni Spangler has been an animal lover all her life so fostering and rehabbing comes naturally. Raised on a farm in Minnesota, she had all types of pets including cats, dogs, piglets, a pigeon and a baby bull.
She has experience as a veterinarian assistant and had a pet sitting business. For the past 15 years she has been licensed as a rehabber through the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.
Joni has fostered dogs for Mid Atlantic Great Dane Rescue and Homes Fur Hounds, Inc. and fosters cats and kittens for Heritage Humane Society in Williamsburg, Virginia. Joni also traps stray and feral cats for a local Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) group.
Although Joni created and runs The Wild Ones, she relies on donations, friends and several amazing veterinarians to help with the animals.
