A Passion for Animal Welfare: My Journey to Save Toto
My Story
My name is Dena Guyette and I am the Founder and CEO of Save Toto Group, an organization focused on assisting animal shelters and rescues with a variety of grant services so your organization can focus on doing what you do best: save animal lives.
More about Dena
I grew up in Derby, Kansas, and hold a BS in Business Administration from Kansas State University and an MBA from the University of Missouri, Kansas City. With over 30 years in telecommunications sales leadership, I am known for building long-term partnerships and securing contracts by aligning client needs with effective solutions. My network spans over ten major corporations (annual revenue > $1B), with relationships that endure beyond individual companies.
As I've matured, my passion for helping voiceless animals has become my guiding light. Growing up in Kansas, I’ve always felt a deep connection to animals, a bond forged even stronger by a harrowing car accident during my teenage years. Surviving that ordeal, I knew there was a purpose for my life, a mission to make a difference.
The heartbreaking reality of animal shelters in Texas, with over 83,000 animals euthanized annually and a dismal state-wide save rate of 76.2%, has fueled my determination.
That's why I founded Save Toto Group, a consulting organization dedicated to assisting animal welfare organizations with securing needed funding through grant research, writing and review. Check out our Services page to learn more!
