Cheryl Noori
Co-Team Lead and Founder/CEO of Street Dogz Las Vegas. I first recognized a need for assisting pets of homeless humans while working at the Community Assistance Center in Downtown Las Vegas. During my volunteering I fell witness to numerous pets living on the streets with their homeless humans. I also noticed homeless owners sharing their own food with their pets and was compelled to help. Watching that companionship shared by these pets and their owners made me recall a simple phrase, “Home is where your dog is.” Such a simple phrase became the mission of Street Dogz, the non-profit I established in 2014, which works in unbridled collaboration with The Street Dog Coalition’s Las Vegas Team.
