Gabriella Gallelo was able to care for dogs, cats, and rats while growing up in the bay area. She started volunteering at PHS in 2016 and continued volunteering at the Yolo County SPCA while getting her bachelor’s degree in animal biology from UC Davis. Through their dog behavior internship, she discovered her passion was in strengthening interspecies communication. While in Davis, she researched to understand what factors influenced the bonds between humans and animals in multi-cat households. She applied this work in her own household by training her cats tricks and to be respectful of one another. At PHS, Gabriella works to help humans and dogs understand each other better.
