During their recent, “Wags to Riches” event, The Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor announced Jan Gray is the animal shelter’s “Volunteer of the Year”.
Jan has been a volunteer for the animal shelter for over two years. She has donated countless hours of her time walking dogs, doing administrative tasks, working in the Treasure Hounds retail store and transporting pets to and from vet appointments. Over the last 12 months, Jan has been responsible for transporting over 47 dogs from an over-crowded shelter in Chapala, Mexico to APS-FH, where they have been adopted into loving, responsible homes here on the island and throughout the greater northwest region.
Jan was awarded a beautiful, custom-designed bowl by Paula West for her efforts on behalf of the homeless animals of Friday Harbor.

What a most-deserved honor! Jan Gray transported our dog, Hector, the first rescue dog to arrive from Chapala, Mexico. She knew my husband and I were heartbroken with the death of our 16 year old beagle. Jan met us at the shelter to make the introduction and she continued to follow-up on all of us. We will be forever grateful for her devotion, compassion, and care. Thank you, Jan. You made such an enormous difference in our lives.
Tara, Paul, and Hector (aka “Heck”) MacMahon
