Angela is our newest board member who brings a wealth of experience to Pals4Paws. She has worked in the nitty-gritty of rescue for years including transport, home inspections, and fostering. She supports countless rescues and sanctuaries. She was president of Pasado's Safe Haven and currently works with PACK (People of Animal Care and Kindness) in Gig Harbor WA as a fundraiser and advisor. She also volunteers with a number of Maltese rescues. She somehow finds time to run a law practice and care for her family. She was drawn to Pals4Paws when she learned about our unique mission (and some serious begging from Vicki!)

Deborah is an animal-loving retired professor of non-profit development. She goes above and beyond for anything on 4 legs, and has volunteered and fostered for multiple local dog rescue organizations. Her dog intuition is amazing, she "gets" the ones that are scared, broken down, "aggressive", and they get her. Pals4Paws met her at our local "Bark in the Park" event and she was excited about our mission. We are grateful that she has brought her expertise to our board!
SHARON--VOLUNTEER, ULTRA-ORGANIZER
Sharon is a local volunteer and such a go-getter! She jumps right in and helps wherever we need and is as organized as it gets (not to mention being a crazy cat lady)! She is excited to devote her time to her local critter-centric nonprofit. She also "walks the walk" with Dude, pictured above, rescued from our local Humane Society.
Debbie--snowbird volunteer
Dog-lover Debbie (pictured here with Cooper), volunteers at Pals4Paws in the summer and small rescues in CA in the winter. She loves to cook, ballroom dance and work promoting her favorite pawsome organizations at community events. She loves to educate the public about what we and small rescues do!
