Pat serves as a board member on the "Safe Place for Animals" Board of Directors.  She was one of
the original volunteers with June McMahan founder of the first Humane Society in Sumner County. Pat has spent the past 34 years volunteering her time in caring for and rescuing animals. There isn't an animal that she has met that doesn't instantly love her and people too, it is her gift. There isn't a person she's met that she hasn't given a piece of literature to trying to educate them about the overpopulation of pets. She never wanted to see anyone leave the shelter without being informed. As a result of her efforts, there have been several people who have gone on to make great strides and changes in animal welfare.  She is our inspiration at SPA.

Pat currently shares her home with three dogs and two cats, all rescues. In addition, she is also a
grandmother of four precious grandchildren and has another on the way. Needless to say she stays
pretty busy. We are so blessed to have her be part of our non-profit center for orphaned pets.
