As long as she can remember, Sherry St. John has been an advocate for pets in need. She started the KIX96 Pet Patrol Facebook page and has helped to reunite lost pets with their families and shelter animals to be adopted. Sherry also interviews people from the various animal organizations to create public awareness. Her help extends to her own sweet furbaby, Ruty the cat, who recently had an adventure on the rooftop of Sherry’s house and had to be rescued!
