Comments:  On Lance’s experience with animals: In 2009 Lance fostered Buddy, Cooper and adopted both of them. He also fostered Ricky and Lucy and worked to place them in their forever homes through our adoption events.  He is a “dad” to several of dogs of his own in addition to the additions that have been added by his involvement with the HSFC.  He works continually with transport of animals in other “kill” scenarios as part of an ongoing effort to prevent unnecessary euthanasia.

On Lance’s experience with nonprofit work and The Humane Society of Forsyth County:  Early in 2009 Lance worked with the Wags & Whiskers committee by conducting a raffle ticket sale for a $3k ring (that he donated) which was drawn as the “grand prize” of the event.  At the same time of the year he implemented the Ruff & Purr Ride for Life to benefit the animals cared for by both the HSFC and the Feral Cat Program.  He later committed to working on behalf of the Bark & Boogie Ball and served as BBB Co-Chair until the event, held on 9/12/09.   As a result of his fostering Lance also became involved in our off site adoption efforts, introducing new fundraising methods at the adoptions in which he participated.  The totality of Lance’s contribution to the HSFC makes him a very worthy consideration.
