Debra said, "Even though I've been a part of this organization for a short time, working with our staff and volunteer puppy raisers, graduate teams and volunteers has been an amazing experience. Now that we're in the new facility, I am looking forward to working with the team to raise the visibility and awareness of our programs and increasing the number of placements of exceptional dogs with exceptional people."
