Jan Mitchell

Jan Mitchell resides in Boulder, CO and has been fostering animals for her local humane societies and rescues since 1991. She met Chris in New Orleans while doing post-Katrina animal rescue work and she has worked with rural farmers in a small village in Ghana since 2001 teaching gentle handling of their working animals. Eventually, and because of her continued work there, the government built schools in the village.

The villagers have grown to understand that their animals live longer and work harder when they are treated well. She is dedicated to helping ARF continue finding homes and rescuing animals.
