Shelter Director 

Amy Rogers leads our team including fundraising, rescue, transport, daily shelter operations and public relations.  Amy works with staff and reports to the Board of Directors to ensure our mission is being achieved, short and long term.  She attends commissioner meetings and board meetings to ensure communication is flowing and to help serve the Washington County Community while working together to decrease euthanasia, save & enrich lives and promote quality care for companion animals in our local area.  Amy has helped many animals go to forever homes as our dog rescue coordinator, frequently driving the transport herself to help ensure all goes smoothly.  Amy also heads up our biggest fundraiser every year, Our Furball.  She has worked hard as a volunteer for many years, helping the shelter immensely.  We feel very fortunate that Amy has agreed to take the position of Director at HSOV.  From dog walking to eagle scout projects, mowing and frequent fundraisers- Amy is "all in" for our animals.
