Pam
Thomas, President:
Pam, accompanied by her
husband Bob and two dogs,
Gizmo
and Brandy, arrived in
Belize in March of 2008. She brought with her a
wealth of knowledge from the Health Food industry, as
well as a strong desire to make a difference. From day
one she expressed a desire to work with the Placencia
Humane Society and became a participating member
in April. Pam quickly showed her aptitude as the
veterinary assistant and has held that position since
her first clinic. Pam was elected to the Board of
Directors in October.
Although a
"dog lover", Pam has readily found room in her heart
for
two new members to the family. Bert, a yellow crested
Amazon parrot, came to her in May of this year
when his owners were called back to the states. In
October Ernie the cat, a rescue from Seine Bight, also
joined the fold. Pam and her family are currently
building their home in
Maya Beach.
