Our Team

Executive Director 

Intake Coordinator

My name is Jess and I have always had a strong love for animals and work in the veterinary field. My partner and I have 3 rescue dogs- a pit bull, lab, and pit mix. Over the last few years, I’ve fostered a variety of furry friends and realized this is what I was made to do- love and care for animals. I believe that every pet deserves a second chance at life.
Jack’s Playground is named in memory of my sweet boy Jack. He was a rescue kitten I adopted and ended up not only being my best friend, but also the best foster brother to every kitten (and pup) that came into our lives. 

Assistant Director

Hi, I’m Diane. Hubby and I grew up with dogs and can't imagine life without them. We have two rescue wheaten terriers, Dusty and Finny. Of course, our lives (happily) revolve around those boys.

 Foster Coordinator

Cat Wrangler

 Hi, I’m Chloe! 

I fell in love with fostering, and now the goal is to help others discover that same passion! I’m a cat mom to two rescue kitties—the best foster siblings ever—and also volenteer on a horse farm with rescue horsies. I hold rescue work extremely close to my heart, and I’m beyond happy to be a part of such an amazing rescue and team!!

Treasurer

Taxes and boring stuff

Hi all! My name is Colin! By day, I am a senior capital sales consultant in the long-term care market. When not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two kids, and our two cats Stella and Jillie. My role on the board is to provide our team with the necessary financial resources and funding streams to support our mission.

Adoption Coordinator

Hi! My name is Kelsey and I'm a dog mom to two amazing rescues- Marzi, a full of life (and energy) Australian Cattle/Pit bull mix, and Holly, a scared-of-everything cuddle bug American Bully/Pit bull mix. My husband and I gave them a loving home and they changed our world for the better bringing us so much joy and laugher, and I want to be able to be a part of creating that experience for other animals who deserve to find their humans.
