Kate McCarthy

Behavior and Enrichment Manager, Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter Presenter

Kate has been working in sheltering for 4 years now. Starting as an Animal Care Tech she worked her way up to being in the behavior department, which became a fast and strong passion of hers. Kate loves working with the shy/fearful animals and has a huge soft spot for the shut-downs, (Her own dog, Daffodil having been one of them)! Kate loves her career as it has shaped her as a human being in and outside of work. Everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the joy of having a pet, and Kate loves being a conduit for just that in her community and beyond!
