Board members serve without compensation and are committed to ethical, transparent, and compassionate rescue practices.
Our Board of Directors brings together decades of experience in healthcare operations, veterinary care, animal rescue, fostering, nonprofit leadership, communications, and community engagement. Each member contributes unique expertise to guide Fresh Start Rescue with integrity, transparency, and compassion. Together, they ensure our mission, values, and long‑term vision remain at the heart of every decision we make.
