Jessica, Executive Director

I started working for Animal Friends Humane Society in May 2024. I first started as Community Outreach Coordinator, then moved to Executive Director. Helping animals has always been my passion. Before I started with AFHS I have had many different roles in animal welfare, Adoption Coordinator, Wellness Assessment Center Manager, Barn Cat Coordinator, Surgery Assistant, Vet Assistant, along with many years of doing TNR work to help community cats. As Executive Director, I am very passionate about my job and I truly want to find ways to make the shelter better for its employees, volunteers, and all of the furry friends.  One of the things I love most about AFHS is the outstanding team and amazing volunteers that I work with.

My husband, Rusty, and I are originally from Bowling Green, KY.  We have two boys, Austin, and Zander. Before moving to Northern Kentucky, we lived in Tennessee for 14 yrs. In my spare time I care for my cats and 4 dogs along with fostering kittens. I enjoy caring for fosters and helping them find a home.  Some other things I enjoy spending time with my family vacationing, boating or just hanging out watching Netflix!

Cindy, Administrative Support

I’m our Administrative Support. I started as a kennel tech when we were in Trenton in 2008.
Over the last decade and a half I’ve witnessed the evolution of the organization with many added resources for our community.

Sarah, Dog Care Coordinator

I’ve always really enjoyed being around animals and helping them as much as I can. I previously worked as a kennel technician, a veterinary assistant, and with training and handling drug detection dogs. I have two dogs of my own named Major and Layla. I’m very excited to help the dogs here find fosters and their new forever homes!
