Meet Shanna

About ShannaHi Guys! I’m Shanna, The Blonde Animal Ambassador living in sunny San Diego, California.

I love life… animals in particular and I want you to, TOO!

A little background so you understand where my nuttiness comes from LOL. From the age of several days old, my parents would let our big fluffy Samoyed cuddle with me in bed and protect me in the car when my Mom ran inside a store.  I guess it all started there… to me he was my big brother, only he had more hair than most humans haha.

Growing up I was obsessed with all of our animals… horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish. You name it, I wanted to be BFF’s with all of them!

Eventually, I grew up to graduate from the University of San Diego with a degree in Latin American Studies and History- hence my love of languages and travel. I am a World Quarterfinalist professional ballroom dancer and fitness expert. I teach everything from pilates and yoga to cardio, ballroom dance and barre.

Helping and saving animals is my passion. Riding horses keeps me sane. Travel inspires me. Working out makes me happy. And yes, I absolutely thrive on a 50-plus-hour workweek.

How can we make choices each day that are animal and eco-friendly? How do we stay fit, eat vegan and still enjoy ourselves on vacation? How do we afford designer items on a budget sans animal products whenever possible? How can we find ways to help clean up our environment and get our friends involved?

In creating The Blonde Animal Ambassador, I am doing my best to discover simple solutions we can all use and learn from each and every day.

Do I have all the answers? NO.

Is there more I can do each and every day to meet my own animal-friendly goals? ABSOLUTELY.

I am trying!…

Not to sound cheesy BUT…

All of us are on an incredible journey called life… why not live it compassionately with respect for all creatures and this beautiful home we call planet earth?
