Meet Our Board
Española Humane’s board of directors are volunteers and donors who guide our strategy, efficiency, and mission. But if you ask them, it all boils down to a simple love for animals and the people who care for them.

Want to help? Consider volunteering.
Volunteers help every facet of our work, from support at the shelter to helping with adoption events to assistance with animal transport. We provide the training and the welcoming environment. Meet new people, learn new skills, and feel good about helping animals.
Join the team at Española Humane.
Española Humane is always looking for passionate professionals to help us improve the lives of animals in underserved communities. While we are a nonprofit, we’re fortunate to be well funded and endowed by our generous donors. As a result, we offer attractive salary and benefit packages.
