Meet the Director!
Shawn.jpg
SHAWN BLITON
Executive Director

"I am a proud U.S. Army Veteran. I served in the Army for nine years. I am a happily married father of four. I became the director of the humane society because I have a deep passion for serving both animals and people. As a veteran and a father, I understand the importance of compassion, responsibility, and leadership.

"This role allows me to make a positive impact in the community by advocating for animal welfare, supporting families in finding their perfect companions, and fostering a culture of kindness and care.

 

"A fun fact about myself is that I know quite a bit of useless facts about many different things. Also, I am a big fan of dad jokes!"
