Meet our Management Team:

Chief Human Resources Officer -- Peter

Pete started at Bay Animal in January of 2020, after previously working at Animal Services & Adoption Center (formerly Animal Control) for a couple years. When a wellness visit to the shelter turned into an unintentional scouting trip for the most purrfect feline, Pete was ours. 

When he's not sleeping on the job, he's usually sitting somewhere he's not supposed to be; you can usually find him on the fax machine or on a stack of client files.  

Though strict at times, Peter has made a wonderful addition to the Bay Animal family  & he knows he's found his furever home with us.
