Palm Springs Animal Shelter is excited to share with you the arrival of the shelter’s new Executive Director, Dan Rossi!
Dan comes to us from Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh, where he led the very successful Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh over 12 years. Dan is a Pittsburgh native and holds a Bachelor’s Degree from Carnegie-Mellon University, as well as a Master’s Degree from Robert Morris University. His extensive nonprofit experience spans not only animal welfare but also human health, having served as CEO of United Cerebral Palsy of Central Arizona, part of the United Cerebral Palsy network which is one of the largest health nonprofits in the United States.
Dan’s animal welfare journey really took off in 2010 when he accepted the role of Executive Director at the Animal Rescue League. Under his leadership the ARL experienced unprecedented growth and became the largest animal shelter in the Pittsburgh region, touching the lives of more than 25,000 animals and 30,000 households annually. In 2017, Dan was named CEO of Humane Animal Rescue – the legacy organization of the merged Animal Rescue League and Western PA Humane Society.
We are very excited to have Dan leading our shelter and are confident that he, with the support of our dedicated team of staff and volunteers, will take our organization to the next level in our mission to provide life-saving services to pets and their people in the Coachella Valley and beyond. We truly appreciate your support of our work and look forward to serving you in new ways in the coming days, months and years ahead.
