April is National Volunteer month, and the board of Michigan Pet Fund Alliance extends a heartfelt THANK YOU to the following volunteers who have helped our organization this year:
We would also like to recognize, posthumously, the work and dedication of Ellen Stuban, a founding member of the Rescue Certification Committee.
L-R: Ellen Stuban with Sammy, Cesar Millan, Cheryl Atkins (November 2012, Windsor, ON)
Her compassion and commitment helped create a national model program and has resulted in many cats and dogs saved from Michigan shelters. The Papillon rescue group which she co-founded, PapAdopters & Placement Service, continues as one the Michigan Certified Rescue organizations. Ellen is truly missed, but her spirit lives on within the animal welfare community.
