Sometimes, unforeseen circumstances for pet owners make animal shelters a necessity, and since 2017, D.J. Hensley has been sheltering animals in Brewster County. Her journey to those humble beginnings officially began in 1996, when she moved to Brewster County and just started taking in stray animals that needed a home. To date, she says she’s taken in over 1500 animals in total. “When I started this, I was just taking in animals from Marathon, but that grew to taking in animals from all over Brewster County and even some from Fort Davis,” Hensley said.
