Seymour & McIntosh<\/a>, we can show people the faces of the pets and people benefiting from our programs and services<\/strong>, helping us connect with our friends and supporters in a whole new way.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s hard to think of an area where Sally\u2019s gorgeous work hasn\u2019t catapulted (so to speak) Napa Humane forward. <\/strong>Sally has been volunteering with us for eight years, and has seen and photographed every aspect of our work \u2013 donating many hundreds of hours of her time and professional expertise. Thanks to her incredible photos of wellness clinics, surgeries, Humane Education classes, fundraisers, we were able to relaunch our fresh, gorgeous website in 2017 with pictures of our real-life operations on nearly every page.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/napahumane.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/41493229_10155898106724422_4867394885033918464_o.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Sally also serves as an amazing storyteller, ambassador, volunteer recruiter, and all-around advocate for animals. But Sally\u2019s loyalty isn\u2019t just to Napa Humane; it is to all companion animals in need. <\/strong>Her skills and dedication have benefitted thousands of local animals served by other local animal welfare organizations, as well. Essentially all marketing materials featuring local adoptable animals feature photography by Sally Seymour.<\/strong><\/p>\nFor example, Sally visits the Napa County Animal Shelter at least one day each week to take photographs of every adoptable dog, cat, rabbit, bird, horse, pig or goat that is there. During \u201ckitten season,\u201d when hundreds of kittens are born and enter animal shelters, Sally goes even more frequently to make sure she captures the beautiful fuzzy faces of those innocent littles needing a home. And then <\/em>she goes home and spends more <\/em>time optimizing every photograph and loading it into the Shelter database. She only misses a week when she\u2019s on vacation \u2013 and even then, she ensures someone else is there to photograph in her place.<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/napahumane.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Picture-collage.jpg\")

Sally says:<\/p>\n
It\u2019s true, I am a crazy cat lady. <\/em><\/strong>And I have seen and read about the profound positive effects that companion animals have on their humans. So, volunteering for an animal welfare group is a logical fit. And with Napa Humane, the ingredients are all in place: a very worthy mission, an excellent team, strong leadership, the opportunity to use my skills, and the chance to learn. And, with luck, to be part of making a lasting positive difference. Because what Napa Humane does is essential and hard to publicize \u2014 they prevent problems. Like disease, or overpopulation, or pet-related injuries. Through low cost basic health care, through education, through counseling. What\u2019s not to like about helping to tell that story?<\/p>\nIn short, Sally is simply amazing\u2026and Napa\u2019s pets and the people who love them are better off because of her! <\/strong><\/p>\nThank you, Sally!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
