Meet our Team

My name is Jo’El Lapp. For many years I owned a livestock farm and rode horses. My journey with fostering and rescue started in January 2022, when I saw Luna on the Bartow County urgent page. 

Since then we have added Jazzy and Sam to our family. My experience with fostering has led me on this path to start Bogey’s Buddies here in Bartow County. I’m so proud of what we have created!

I’m Samantha (Sam) Able and my love for rescue came from our first rescue, Bogey!

Bogey was on the euthanasia list, he was emaciated, heartworm-positive, and scared. The only reason we were able to adopt him was because of a wonderful woman who chose to foster him!

Hey there! My name is Rebecca (Becca) Gosnell. I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Over the last fifteen years, I have become more involved in animal advocacy, transporting, fostering, TNR, and learning as much as possible! 

In 2022, I fostered my first dog, Sansa, urgent listed at BAC, followed by two puppies named  Daisy and Duke, and a bunch of kitties, too! 

I am so happy to be a part of Bogey’s Buddies
