Patricia moved to Burlington in 1989 after a career in Europe and the USA. She has volunteered at Burlington Humane since 1993, first with the Pet Therapy program (team leader), as well as on reception and has also fostered animals from time to time. She joined the Board in 2001 as Fundraising Director and was instrumental in assisting with the Pooch Promenade for many years, as well as with many other fundraising events. In 2002 she became Secretary to the Board.
Patricia now lives in Grimsby with her husband. They have two Golden Doodles, Sam and Tuppence, and two cats, Mallow and Little Mog, all of whom were adopted from BHS.
“Animal welfare has always been an important issue to me, and I feel privileged to be a part of such a dedicated organization. Burlington Humane has made great progress within our community in so many ways with its various outreach programs such as pet therapy visits to nursing homes and retirement residences, as well as in providing education about responsible pet care. It continues to be a strong force to help animals in need, and I am honoured to be a part of the team.”

"I was very fortunate to get Bella just yesterday and she seems to have settled in very nicely. She is eating well, playing and purring a lot. Bella is a calm, affectionate cat and we are already best friends."
I am the lucky person who got to bring Princess Holly (Mika) into our family. She's an incredibly loving and gentle little thing. It feels like she's always been here.

I adopted one of my kittens from the Burlington Humane Society back in Oct of 2014 (he Is the smaller one) His name originally was Pugsly but I changed it to Memphis. He has brought so much joy to my household and wanted to thank the human society for what they do and the caring staff that take care of these beautiful fur babies
We adopted Zoey November 28th, 2014 from BHS! Clawing through stress and a shy personality she has really come to amaze us! 2 months later, she now prefers to be the centre of attention and most vocal family member.. She also loves to play fetch to stay in shape!
Nathen is a big boy now, twice of the weight of the time he came to our house.
