DeeAnn Schaefer has been in animal welfare for 22 years and started with the CNY SPCA about 5 years ago as a volunteer. However, today, her primary role at CNY SPCA is to teach Humane Education. The Humane Education Program at the CNY SPCA is geared for ages Pre-K through College and talks about animal safety and care, what an animal shelter does and animal abuse.
DeeAnn shares with us that despite getting a degree in Business Management with a minor in Accounting, her passion has always been animals. In her interview below learn more about the CNY SPCA and what led DeeAnn to follow her passion.
