MARY ANN LA RUSSA, Board Member
Mary Ann joined the board in 2014. She has an Abyssinian rescue guinea pig named Pearl and a thriving marketing business. In addition to wanting to help animals enjoy better lives, she likes steep hikes, blowouts and the Florida Gators—not necessarily in that order.
LISA P., Volunteer
Lisa has been volunteering with Project Minnie for almost a decade. She is hands on every week on the boardwalk and has also fostered more than 100 cats for various organizations. On the boardwalk, she is known as the treat lady because she loves to give chews and other yummy treats to the pups we serve. Lisa has three wonderful dogs and a cat—plus a few fosters.
