DPA!’s Pawsome People: February 2019 Leadership Spotlight

“Stacey has been volunteering with DPA! for almost 5 years now and I cannot stress enough the impact she has been able to make for our animals and our adopters. She has dedicated her spare time to ensuring our adoption policies and processes are in line with industry standards while providing excellent customer service to our adopters and placing animals in their best-fitting FURever homes. She’s helped us grow as an organization from adopting out under 100 dogs a year to now adopting out hundreds of animals, including cats, pigs, chickens, and even a couple of horses. We’re so lucky to have such a compassionate and driven leader!”Jessica Weinstein, DPA!’s Vice President of Animal Operations
