CSR Leadership Changes
************************
First things first: The Canine Soulmates team sends its best to all its wonderful volunteers and fosters. In these trying times, we're here if you need help. Stay safe, stay well, and stay in touch.
****************************
Canine Soulmates Rescue would like to announce recent changes in our Board Member and Officer roles.
Melinda Rhodes, co-founder of Canine Soulmates Rescue, has resigned as President and Board Member as of January 2020. Taking her place on the Board and accepting the role as CSR's President is Lora Hall, CSR volunteer since 2017.
Melinda will stay active with CSR as a foster, attending events, providing a storage unit, and in other ways as needed.
“Right now, it is important that I focus on work, college, and family, in addition to the 4 fur kids around the house. I am super excited about the direction CSR is headed, and look forward to continuing to foster and attend events,”
Melinda wrote about the changes.
During Melinda's tenure as president and/or Board Member since the rescue's founding in 2009, CSR has rescued and adopted out almost 1,100 dogs. CSR's volunteers -- and all those dogs -- are forever grateful.

Enthusiasm is high as Lora's leadership role begins.
