Heather Tobin, host of Paw Prints On Our Hearts

Born in the seaside town of Marblehead, Massachusetts, Heather Tobin has always been drawn to nature and animals, from watching seagulls at sunset, to making toad houses in her family yard to encourage their nightly visits. Growing up in a house with dogs, cats, iguanas, guinea pigs, bunnies and ferrets, Heather formed a deep bond with all of her animal companions great and small. Her gifts as an animal intuitive grew from her great love of each and every pet that came into her life. At the tender age of ten, Heather became a volunteer and advocate for animal welfare rights, enlisting friends to sign petitions. Heather has worked at various animal shelters her whole life, from cleaning enclosures to organizing successful fundraising campaigns. she now serves on the Board of Directors for the Friends of Manchester Animal Shelter in New Hampshire. She received her Bachelor of Anthropology from the University of Massachusetts and her Master of Communication from Emerson College.

As a producer and host of television and radio programs featuring both animal and spiritual stories, she has entertained and educated audiences for over 15 years,  She often connects with pets in spirit, which has been incredibly rewarding and confirming.
