About Us
Founders

CAFI was founded by four women with a passion for helping canines and the people that they love.  Through a myriad of experience in the business, military and non-profit world, the founders bring a unique and compelling mixture of expertise to the table.  They have also graciously dedicated several years of volunteer hours to local animal rescues.  Throughout this time they served in key roles, allowing them to form strategic relationships within the community and animal care world.  It is through these relationships that they identified a need greater than what was currently being addressed in rescue. 



CAFI Culture

At CAFI, we aspire to maintain a reputation of excellence.  We believe this is achieved by providing outstanding services that help dogs and people in our community.  Our volunteers are a key resource to the successful attainment of our goals.  We strive to maintain a culture in which each volunteer knows they are valued and respected.  CAFI recruits individuals who positively add to the overall achievement of the group goals - people with high personal integrity, a positive attitude, commitment to the organizations’ goals, and a willingness to work hard individually and as part of a team. 

CAFI policies and procedures are modeled on best practices of successful businesses.  We strongly believe CAFI can achieve significant success in rescuing dogs in need while maintaining a strong financial portfolio.  Our people have a key impact on this success.  A cornerstone CAFI has borrowed from successful businesses is our commitment to the recruitment, training and retention of good people.  By choosing the right people, giving them the tools and information they need to succeed, and recognizing them for a job well done, CAFI sets itself apart from other all-volunteer animal rescues.  Our people perform their duties in a professional manner at all times, thus directly impacting the success of the overall organization.
