Cheryl and her husband, Roger, own a luxury boarding facility, Second Home Pet Resort, which opened in Phoenix 2008. She is a member of the National Animal Control Association, member and past board member of the Association for Animal Welfare Advancement, and was a founding member of the Arizona State Council of the Humane Society of the United States. Cheryl formerly served as President and CEO of the Arizona Humane Society, leader of the Maricopa County Animal Care and Control Animal Care Task Force, Chairman of the Board of Friends of Animal Care and Control (now the Arizona Pet Project), and Chair of the Arizona Companion Animal Spay/Neuter Committee.

“By day”, Cheryl serves as a human resources executive for a billion-dollar national corporation based in Phoenix, Arizona; she has been married to her husband Roger for 26 years, and she has two grown stepchildren. Their animal family includes 5 dogs and a cat. When she’s not rescuing animals, Cheryl enjoys hiking, travel and volunteering at her church.

Cheryl’s passion and specialty within HARTT is creating strategies for the most difficult-to-rescue dogs, teaching HARTT’s humane trapping workshops, and utilizing complex specialty traps and electronics to bring animals to safety.
