Zachary joined our team in 2024. Working in warehouse logistics and inventory for years, he decided it was time for a complete change. His love for animals brought him to us. His family is his number one hobby with Lego building a close second!! His fondness for the outdoors and history also keeps him in both the woods and in the libraries.

​Buddy

After working for 50 years in the "human" medical field and not ready to be a lady of leisure, we are thrilled to have Tilhinha join our team in 2024! She has always loved animals and as of her hire date has one cat, Notcho. She is originally from Islands called the Azores in the Atlantic Ocean and came to the states at the age of 2. She married a local boy in 1995. Tilhinha has lived many places, but the bulk of her time has been in California. She has lived in Rogersville during several different time frames and has decided to make it her last stop before retirement. The most exotic animal that she has had the privilege to care for was a fawn whose mother was killed on the highway. She cared briefly for "Bucky" before taking her to a wildlife rescue to be released into protected land to live out her days.
