Carol

Carol is a native of Auburn. She left many years ago and has lived in many places - among them North Carolina, Washington, D.C. and she spent many years with the US Department of State in Africa and Asia as Executive Officer/Administrative Officer with the United States Agency for International Development and a number of Embassies. She returned to central New York 10 years ago. Her passion is finding new and loving homes for animals that have been abandoned, abused and neglected and seeking justice for those animals that have been the victims of cruelty. She lives with her husband Donovan and her dogs Sasha and Lacey and cats Yuri and Misha.

Brenda

Meet Brenda, our newest Adoption Counselor, who started with the SPCA as a volunteer in 2006. After working in the corporate world for the last 26 years, she decided to do something different with her life. Working around animals at the shelter made her realize what a difference she could make in these homeless animal's lives by helping them overcome their behavior problems. Brenda attended the Animal Behavioral College's Dog Obedience Instructor Training Program and is currently putting her skills to work helping our homeless dogs and yours. She offers Puppy Kindergarten classes every Saturday. Need help... ask Brenda!

Ed began working for the shelter in 1997. Prior to his SPCA career, he served in the Army for 15 years as a Veterinary Technician, working with military personnel pets and military working dogs while in Korea. During his two years working with the SPCA, he noticed the shelter was receiving several calls regarding nuisance/wildlife issues and in 1999 he started his own business, Knight's Critter Capture. Ed still assists the shelter and takes care of your nuisance needs. Got a critter? Give him a call.
