Jean Alfieri
Jean Alfieri is a “Mom’s Choice” and “Reader’s Choice” award winning author. She finds hope and joy in both her work at the local animal shelter and in the lives of her adopted dogs. When her eyes locked with those of a smooshy-faced little pup who sat inside one of the kennels, it was love. He captured her heart, and she captures their many adventures in short stories starring Zuggy (www.ZuggythePug.com). Her newest book, for young and adult dog-lovers, “Twisty and True Tails of a Shelter Dog Matchmaker” weaves fun quotes and ‘paw-some’ thoughts into a collection of twelve short stories about displaced dogs who took the winding road instead of the straight path to happiness. A writer, speaker, and dog-fan, Jean promotes the value of reading in her school visits and encourages adults to capture their amazing stories in her guided journals. She is an avid proponent of adoption for all dogs, young or “vintage” (her preference) who need a forever home. Her favorite breed is ‘Rescued.’
