JENNA, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Jenna serves as Executive Director where she manages operations and the organization’s ongoing strategic development. She is less known as the “voice behind SOS” as the Social Media Manager.
She has dedicated the last 4 years to develop an understanding of the needs of dogs through international humanity adventures as well as through helping organize/plan, implement and monitor the action based efforts of SOS locally in the GTA.
Her background in school where she built interest in Rights Based Approach and Critical Thinking has helped her find value in the deserving Rights of dogs everywhere from a Holistic framework. That, paired with her array of volunteer experience in many community contexts, has helped build her awareness on how to work with humans in a dog industry. Her leading areas of interest are Education, Advocacy, and Action.
Don’t get it twisted, Jenna prides her work with SOS as being very casual and trans-disciplinary focused. Staying on the path of kindness, spirituality and happiness is what drives Jenna to help dogs everywhere, as well as support her team in doing so.
Jenna’s most inspiring work with SOS has been building her Action Plan to help those in her community learn how to take action, as well as her trips overseas to help provide hands-on dog overpopulation prevention through her work at Spay and Neuter Campaigns with SOS. If you want to see her get at all sentimental have her tell you how small her now “big dog dreams” are, and how being a factor in seeing 1000+ dogs get a second change has changed her understanding of life forever.
Jenna enjoys a balanced lifestyle outside of rescue where she can often be found exploring nature with SOS Mascot Micke or enjoying guacamole in a hammock anywhere.
Jenna is accessible to the public after first cross-examining the Managers roles and ensuring they aren’t a good first step. Although Jenna loves making new connections and hearing from the community, she does feel her SOSector Managers are generally more qualified to answer inquiries based on their specific needs. Feel free to reach out and we will get you in touch with the right person!
