Let us tell you about Haleigh. Her passion for animal rescue began in childhood, growing up in the countryside where she often encountered abandoned pets. Her first dog, left in the middle of the road, became her best friend and sparked a lifelong dedication to saving animals in need. When she moved to the area 3.5 years ago, she sought out a no-kill shelter to pursue her dream of working in rescue, which led her to Animal Care Society. Starting as an adoption counselor, she quickly became a vital part of the team, advocating for overlooked and harder-to-adopt pets, ensuring they find the loving homes they deserve.
Motivated by her late mother’s advice to follow her passion, Haleigh continues to dedicate herself to animal welfare, knowing that every adoption is a life changed. She finds the greatest fulfillment in seeing animals placed in their forever homes and is especially inspired by ACS adoption events. Looking ahead, she envisions ACS expanding its impact by offering more affordable veterinary care and encouraging more people to open their hearts and homes—even if just to foster. For Haleigh, the mission is clear: never give up on an animal, no matter the circumstances.
