Pet Companion & Playgroup Supervisor

Certified Pet Care Professional

Pet First Aid & CPR Certified 

Since Alyssa was a young girl, her curious mind has always had a knack for challenging the status quo. She constantly tested the "norms" and questioned how things were supposed to be done, which fueled her resourcefulness and sparked an unspoken connection with the natural world. Even before fully realizing it, she was a planet and animal advocate at heart, always drawn to the quiet wisdom of the earth and its creatures.

For the past eight years, Alyssa has immersed herself in the pet industry, gathering a wealth of experience across various sectors. Her insatiable curiosity has led her to continually expand her knowledge in the ever-evolving world of animal care. This dedication is evident as she works toward finishing her Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science & Conservation Biology—a perfect blend of passion and purpose. 

One of her favorite quotes speaks to her gentle, yet profound philosophy:

"She asks me to kill the spider? Instead I get the most peaceful weapons I can find. I take a cup and a napkin. I catch the spider, put it outside, and allow it to walk away. If I am ever caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, just being alive and not bothering anyone, I hope I am greeted with the same kind of mercy." — Rudy Francisco

Outside of her professional world, Alyssa shares her life with four beloved furry companions: two golden retrievers, Gunner and Gracie, and two cats, Sasha and Cleveland. When she's not caring for her four-legged family, Alyssa enjoys reading, journaling, playing adult recreational softball, tending to her garden, and experimenting in the kitchen.

Her mission is clear: to bring transparency and safety into every aspect of her work, always advocating for the well-being of the animals while ensuring they receive the best care possible. In her world, the welfare of her furry friends is not just a priority—it's a way of life.

Meet Ashley B - the extraordinary animal lover who's changing the game! Her journey in animal welfare is nothing short of awe-inspiring. It all began when Ashley joined a shelter as a high school volunteer, and her love for animals blossomed into a dedication that's touched countless lives. Today, she's the Adoption & Behavior Supervisor at HSSC, and her passion for four-legged friends has earned her prestigious certifications like the CPDT-KA® and an unwavering commitment to self-improvement. 

But Ashley's heart isn't limited to the shelter - she's also a devoted partner to her husband Zach and an adventurer at heart. They love exploring the great outdoors with bonfires, camping, and dirt biking, all while listening to a diverse range of music from metal to rap and country. 

At home, Ashley's furry family is a testament to her big heart, with multiple pit bull mixes and two senior kitties, including China, a long-term shelter resident, and Letty, a young pittie with mange. Ashley's dedication to preserving the bond between pets and their families is truly remarkable - this is one animal enthusiast that's changing the world, one paw at a time!
