Meet Our Team

A humane society's success hinges on the commitment and passion of its team. Our many years of experience, coupled with the unique backgrounds and perspectives of our board and staff, provide an exceptional knowledge base to support our mission. Together, we provide high quality care to the thousands of animals we see each year and energize the programs and services we offer to help those in need. As a resource to our community, we are proud to have a strong and dedicated team looking out for pets and the people who love them.
