In 2013, after volunteering at a small local shelter with her daughter, Christy discovered that they shared a dream: to open an animal sanctuary. To show her daughter that dreams do come true, she put all her efforts into building a nonprofit organization dedicated to making the Las Vegas Valley a kinder place for pets. In typical Christy fashion, she dived into the issue of pet homelessness and has spurred the creation of many owner-support programs. “Keeping pets out of the shelter in the first place must be a primary focus of our work,” says Stevens. Before founding Hearts Alive Village Christy worked with her family for over 26 years leading a large format printing company, Pictographics.
“I’ve never worked harder in my life, but I love it. I’ve found my groove.”
