The Briggs Animal Adoption Center (BAAC) and its sister program, Spay Today, recently established The Spay Today & Briggs Animal Adoption Center Community Development Board and are proud to announce the appointment of Anne Small as Chairman of the Board, and Christine Parfitt as Vice Chairman.

(From Left to Right) Mrs. Anna C. Briggs (NHES Founder), Christine Parfitt (Board Vice Chairman), Anne Small (Board Chairman) and canine Jimmy (ATF Accelerant Detection Dog).

Anne and Christine have been long-term supporters of The National Humane Education Society(NHES)—the parent organization of the BAAC and Spay Today—for which they have taken on time-consuming, volunteer positions for the past two Bow Wow Boogie, “Meow Too!” fundraising events, which were resounding successes.  (Anne also founded Spay Today, and in 2001, requested that Spay Today become a program of NHES.)  Anne and Christine’s volunteer service has been, and continues to be, invaluable to the development of the BAAC and Spay Today in the tri-state area.

As Community Development Board members, Anne and Christine are committed to bringing awareness of the BAAC and Spay Today’s program services on behalf of animals into the public consciousness and thereby do their part to help end animal suffering and, ultimately, create a more humane world.
