New Pack Members...

Welcome to the pack….

HugABull is pleased to introduce three new steering committee members. While they have all been working with HugABull for quite a few months now, we thought it was high time we provided an official introduction and welcome.

Lauren steps into HugABull as our NEW Foster Care Coordinator – a position we know we’ve needed for some time. Lauren’s involvement with HugABull started two years ago when she adopted her first pit bull, the late but lovely Rex. Right away Lauren got involved conducting home checks, meet and greets and raising funds for Loki’s Christmas Wish Fund and the Lovely Fund. Today Lauren is the proud mom to Rex’s beloved foster brother and HugABull favourite, Bronte!

As Foster Care coordinator, Lauren will help organize our fostering process and be a point of contact for information and advice. Please contact her with any fostering-related inquiries at
Lauren@hugabull.com

Danielle K recently joined HugABull as our NEW Volunteer Coordinator. A proud pit bull owner to her wonderful dog Casey, Danielle wanted to get involved and help the breed she loved so much – but as a nurse with a variable schedule it was difficult to commit to a role. As a volunteer coordinator she can work from home keeping our volunteer list up-to-date and making sure our events and programs have the people resources they need to be successful.

To be added to our list, or for any other volunteer inquiries, contact Danielle at Daniellek@hugabull.com

April stumbled across HugABull when she contacted Shelagh for training advice when a shelter adoption went wrong. HugABull supported her through a difficult process, and today she is devoted to the group and ensuring others have a much better experience with rescued dogs. She is also a “failed” but proud foster mom to Chica, a HugABull alumni. April will be spearheading our media relations efforts, editing our newsletter, and lending her writing, marketing, and communications skills wherever she can.

For any media or marketing hints, tricks, or ideas, contact April at April@hugabull.com

We are always looking for people with the time and dedicated skill set to join our steering committee, so if you are looking at taking on a more active role, please let us know! Some areas we’d like to develop are training support, fundraising, BSL…just to mention a few.

In the meantime, we’re thrilled to add three talented women to our team, so please join me in welcoming Lauren, April and Danielle K!
