"Jeanine Lorusso has been a valued member of the Baypath team for years. Her love of animals, education background, professional experience and love of teaching combine to make her the consummate professional to both engage people and to help animals. She doesn’t ‘fix’ problems, but rather empowers people – from shelter staff, to volunteers, to fosters, to adopters and even those considering surrender – to truly affect change for the better with their animals. She is a sponge for knowledge and is constantly learning by hands on experience and gleaning information from the latest research and conferences. Furthermore, she does an excellent job sharing this information with all stakeholders in an engaging way. She is also adept at networking in order to forge relationships and broaden opportunities for our animals. From establishing an evaluation process, to creating and recruiting a volunteer dog behavior team to facilitating and cultivating a robust foster network, Jeanine has had a tremendous impact on our organization, ultimately benefitting so many animals and people alike."
