2018 ANIMAL ADVOCATE OF THE YEAR 
Cathy Roberts – LPCHS Volunteer
Cathy is an outstanding volunteer and advocate for all homeless animals. Her passion, energy and love for the homeless pets is contagious to those of us that have the pleasure to work with her. She created the La Plata County Lost and Found Pet page on Facebook and works tirelessly updating the page to safely reunite pets with their families. Along with managing the lost and found page, Cathy co-manages the LPCHS Facebook page and actively takes dogs downtown on Adopt Patrol. When she is not advocating for the homeless pets, you can find her walking up and down Main Street as a Downtown Ambassador. Cathy does anything we ask of her in an effort to help the staff and theanimals in our care, and is an invaluable member of our community!
Thank you to this year’s sponsors!
