Washington Humane Society - Happy Fourth Year Anniversary to Stephanie Shain and Beau Archer


 From: Lisa LaFontaine, President and CEO, Washington Humane Society

I'm not sure whether to say Happy Anniversary to you two, to WHS, to the animals, or to me. Either way, it has been four wonderful years since this dynamic duo came to WHS and rocked our world. Lucky WHS, lucky animals and people of DC.




Stephanie Shain, Chief Operating Officer

Stephanie Shain joined the Washington Humane Society in September of 2010 as Chief Operating Officer. Prior to joining the WHS team, Stephanie was a Senior Director at The Humane Society of the United States where she led efforts including investigations, legislative actions, public education and coordination with law enforcement to rescue animals from puppy mills. Prior to that, Stephanie worked within the shelter, veterinary and education arenas to help and work with companion, wild and farm animals. She has a special place in her heart for WHS; she adopted her two dogs from our New York Avenue adoption center. She lives in Washington with her husband and two daughters, their two dogs, four cats, four gerbils, and two guinea pigs.



Beau Archer, New York Avenue Shelter Director with Piper

Prior to joining WHS, Beau worked at The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) where he managed advocacy programs and maintained a network of advocates across the country working to combat cruelty in the puppy mill industry. Prior to that, he served on The HSUS shelter evaluation program where he conducted shelter evaluations for both small, private humane societies and large, municipal animal care and control facilities. Beau also served four years as the Director of Operations at Animal Haven, an animal shelter in New York City.
