Our Companions is proud to announce the creation of
The Director’s Circle.

The Director’s Circle* is comprised of former members of Our Companions Domestic Animal Sanctuary’s Board of Directors. Our Companions is grateful for, and indebted to, the selflessness, generosity, vision and leadership of its Board members. We are proud to honor and celebrate their contributions both to Our Companions and the animal welfare movement through this new entity.

Leadership

It is our pleasure to welcome our Board of Directors. While this diverse group of individuals offers a myriad of skills and expertise, they share a common bond: a deep commitment to the mission of Our Companions Domestic Animal Sanctuary. We look forward to many accomplishments through the dedication of our new leadership.
