Who We Are
 
  OUR WONDERFUL STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS

The majority of the day-to-day care of the animals at Rikki's is provided by our dedicated staff. Their days start at 8:00 am and end around 5:00 pm with the bulk of their work done outdoors. Volunteers provide both on- and off-site help.

Joe Callahan is the resident Director of Wildlife and Dogs. (Shown here with his dog, Fran). What Joe thinks.
