Local rescuer receives certification from Humane Society of the United States
Savannah, GA November 20, 2006
Every dog should learn a new trick, and that goes for their rescuers, too.
This past January, Coastal Pet Rescue president and founder Lisa Scarbrough enrolled in the Humane Society of the United States’ Executive Leadership Certificate program. The program requires successful completion of four courses dealing with building boards, strategic planning, measuring effectiveness, and implementing statistics, surveys, and scorecards.
“It was a bit of a juggle between work, my main school studies and running the rescue,” says Scarbrough, “but I believe these courses have given me valuable resources to strengthen Coastal Pet Rescue.”
Scarbrough completed the courses in August and received her certification this week. Additionally, she is in her second year of study for a Bachelor of Science degree in Humane Leadership through Duquesne University.
Founded in February 2003, Coastal Pet Rescue is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization based in Savannah, Georgia dedicated to saving the lives of homeless, abused and neglected dogs and cats in the Creative Coast Savannah and Lowcountry South Carolina areas.
