 As we get ready to celebrate 15 years of saving lives during the upcoming reunion and dog walk, we would also like to celebrate a very special birthday - the person who started it all, our volunteer president Sheila Lewis!
Sheila’s love of the beagle breed has become her passion. Promoting the beagle as a family pet and helping unwanted beagles get a second chance at life has been her mission since founding Beagle Paws in 2003.
When asked what is the best thing to happen to you since starting at BP, Sheila shared, “Seeing the wonderful transition of the outdoor hunting beagle into an indoor family pet; to see the stigma and myths surrounding hunting beagles change from negatives to positives; to experience the work of a team of dedicated volunteers right across Canada work towards the goal of changing the lives for abandoned and neglected beagles.”
When Sheila is not spending her extra time volunteering at Beagle Paws, she enjoys spending time with her own beagle rescues and family.
It is an honor to volunteer next to such a strong, fearless and determined leader and we are grateful for everything that you do each day for the organization and for all the homeless beagles over the years.
From your volunteer executive team, all the dedicated volunteers and the thousands of families for which you have facilitated so many successful adoptions - we want to wish you a very special Happy Birthday Sheila!
