Sandra Lollino
Sandra Lollino founded Four Legged Friends Foundation with her desire to make a difference for people through animals. As she left her event planning business, she researched the best way she could use her experience to fulfill her passion; the positive impact of the human-animal bond. Thus FLFF was created through many conversations with different animal organizations regarding what is in need to further assist them with their programs and services. Sandra received her bachelor's degree of Mechanical Engineering from Loyola Marymount University in 1991, an Executive Management Certificate from the UCLA Anderson School of Management in 2002, and is currently enrolled in the UCLA Dual Certification Program in Public Relations and Fund Raising. She also plans to attend conferences and seminars on the Human-Animal Bond. Sandra is the proud guardian of two rescue dogs and one foster; Zorro, Melissa and Sassy.

Esti Miller
Esti Miller is a corporate and general business attorney in private practice in the San Fernando Valley. She is a graduate of Loyola Law School, admitted to the California Bar in 1996. Esti is a member of the American Bar Association, Animal Law Committee; the Los Angeles County Bar Association, Animal Issues Committee; the San Fernando Valley Bar Association; and the International Alliance of Holistic Lawyers. As a "holistic" lawyer, Esti views her role as helper, healer, and counselor, using the law as a foundation in addressing the whole person, relationships, and all of her clients' complex business as well as personal needs.
As a member of the Animal Issues Committee of the Los Angeles County Bar Association, Esti received an email in early 2005 requesting legal assistance in setting up a non-profit organization. When she met Sandra and heard about her ideas for FLuFF, she was extremely impressed by Sandra's energy and vision, and the alignment of that vision with her own intention of encouraging compassion for animals. Esti was happy to assist with the formation of FLuFF, continues to provide legal guidance, and was invited to sit on the Board of Directors in May of 2007. Esti views all animals as precious beings with so much to give us; and believes that they, in return, need and deserve our protection. You can reach her at esti@estimillerlaw.com.
Shelly Streilein
Shelly Streilein is a freelance graphic designer assisting many small and medium-size businesses and nonprofits with their marketing efforts and branding. She obtained her BA in Journalism from University of Arizona and completed post-college training in graphic design. She has been working in the industry for over 17 years, and in 1998 decided to start her own freelance graphic design business. Since the inception of Four Legged Friends Foundation, and as it continues to grow, Shelly generously offers her services by designing FLuFF's business cards, brochure and newsletters.
She also knows the value of the human-animal bond, as she and her husband, John are guardians of three furry friends - Chili Cat, and dogs, Godfrey and Peggy Sue. A life-long animal lover and guardian, it was a natural for her to work with FLuFF. Known as the "Dog Lady" in her neighborhood, the Streilein home has become a waystation for lost pets -- lost dogs and cats simply find their way to the front door. They have reunited numerous
neighborhood animals with their families and found the homes for many strays.
Shelly has been involved with FLuFF since the initial concept and becoming a board member allows her to further contribute her knowledge and services. She can be reached at smstreilein@earthlink.net.
