Board of Directors

---

   A retired Riverbank middle school teacher, Debi's lifelong love of animals led her to animal shelter volunteer work in 2008.  

   She became a member of Oakdale Shelter Pet Alliance in 2011, serving as vice president for four years and continues to serve in several capacities.  

   When not playing with her own rescued dog, Bella, Debi loves to garden, read and travel with her husband, Al.

   Lisa and her family have been in the Knights Ferry area since 1900. She lives there with her husband Fred, and animal menagerie. 

   Lisa feels very fortunate to work and live in such a great community. Her lifelong love and concern for all animals has led her to help not only the homeless animals at the Oakdale Animal Shelter but any animals in need.

Regina grew up in this area on a dairy and loved and cared for all types of animals. While married she lived in Oakdale and raised horses and cattle while working as a registered nurse. There were always cats and at least one dog in the mix.

She has been a member of OSPA since 2016 and continues to be a member who helps with getting animals adopted from the Oakdale Animal Shelter and with all the other many projects that OSPA has been involved in over the years. She also works with ASTRO and fostering animals that have been taken from the local shelter. She believes that all animals have the right to be treated humanely and to have a home if at all possible.

I am proud to be a board member of The Oakdale Shelter Pet Alliance, because I love animals. I want to help make a positive difference in my community. I believe every animal deserves to be loved, cared for and treated with compassion. I started volunteering at the Oakdale Animal Shelter in 2018. I wanted to help make the animals stay a little less stressful during their stay at the shelter. It's very rewarding being part of an organization that puts the needs and well-being of animals first and to help give them happy and safe lives they deserve.

I enjoy spending time at home with my own rescue animals, being outdoors, RV'ing with my husband, spending time with our daughters, and eleven grandchildren.

Lorie recently retired from a lifelong career working with animals in different professions. One was working as an animal technician both in emergency work and then at our own Oakdale Vet Group back in the days with Robin and Cal Cadmus. She worked as their surgery and nursing technician.

Also, Lorie worked as an Animal Service Officer for many years and after her retirement she realized she still wanted to speak for those who have no voice and became a member of OSPA as well as a volunteer at the Oakdale Animal Shelter.
