Marissa Bentley
Animal Care Technician
Marissa has an associate's degree in Animal Science, and has worked in the animal care field most of her life. She does training, grooming, runs our fecals using the microscope, draws blood for tests on even the tiniest of kittens, and fosters special kitties for us too! Marissa has also taken many professional classes after getting her degree. Marissa is truly a jack of all trades!

Becca Riley
Animal Care Technician
Becca can almost always be found in the kennels working with our dogs! A true dog lover, she makes sure that their mental and physical health is top-notch. She does some training, some nose work, some agility, and on top of all that, she helps out everywhere in the shelter! Becca has taken numerous professional level classes.

Shelly Sweeney
Animal Care Technician
Shelley started many years ago at SHS when she did some volunteer work for her job. That was it, she was hooked! She took an open shift of cleaning cat cages every Sunday morning for up to four hours. NOT a job most people would want, but Shelley shows up every Sunday with a big smile! As she says, not only does she love the kitties, but she thinks the staff is great and really works as a team! We're so grateful to know we can rely on Shelley to do a great job, every Sunday morning - when most people would rather stay in bed!
