interview with Brix Nobody


1) You're known for your modeling / tattoos. Please give me some more background information for readers, especially as it pertains to your work with animals:

I grew up in Orlando, FL., so modeling is something that i have always done on some level. I started young doing print work for Disney and Universal Studios, then went on to fashion and runway then it evolved into tattoo modeling, for obvious reasons! I started getting tattooed at the age of 16 and started collecting them from there. Through traveling the tattoo convention circuit etc, I started ending up in tattoo magazines. Animal rescuing started for me at an early age, taking in any and everything I could. All of my animals over the years have been rescued/adopted. Through my modeling, I have found that I can give back (as much as I can), by promoting different rescues on all of my social media and through making appearances.

2) I met you when Operation Education had puppy mill dogs at the vet a few months ago.  How did you come across them & start working with them?  What are some of the other animal welfare projects you're involved in?  How did you get in to the rescue world?

I became involved with Operation Education Animal Rescue out of middle TN when we had moved here and I was looking to adopt a dog. It kind of snowballed from there. I am very lucky that I work a lot from home. When I am not traveling, I do my best to bring in puppies that need to be bottle fed as I am at home with my 3 (human) children. I understand that most people have 9-5 hours and when I'm in town I'm able to take on a litter of 6 puppies that have no mom and need to be bottle fed every few hours. Every city that we move to, I scope out the different organizations and try to give all the time I can. Doesn't matter what it is, cats, dogs, birds, rabbits anything! If it needs me, I'm on it!
