Bobbi Cerra Volk is the winner of the Ruthe Ashcraft Advocate for Animals Award 2007

The Foster Pet Outreach Board is pleased to announce the winner of this year’s Ruthe Ashcraft Award is

Bobbi Cerra Volk.

Ruthe was an incredible advocate for all animals. Those who knew her often wondered how she had so much strength when it came to protecting her beloved animals. She worked tirelessly to see that every animal was recognized for it’s intrinsic value, and was being treated properly.

In a tradition that would make Ruthe proud, Bobbi displays the same characteristics. Bobbi isn’t afraid to do anything for the animals, whether it’s rescuing them from the roadside, driving them to new homes or vet appointments or stopping strangers to challenge their treatment of their pets. During the awful days following Hurricane Katrina, of course, Bobbi was on the road to Mississippi to help the Humane Society of the United States. She purchased generators for the shelters as well as helping round up stranded pets. If there isn’t a dog at the end of the leash in her hand, then Bobbi has been busy answering voice mail calls, or making fudge, or handling deliveries. Bobbi helps organize the labeling and bulk mailing of our newsletter, and has fostered several puppies, dogs and cats for Foster Pet Outreach.

We are proud, and thankful, to have Bobbi as a member of our group. Congratulations Bobbi!

Also nominated for their outstanding commitment to animals were Michelle Hasty, Michelle Kosner, Kali McDowell, and Robyn Smith.
