Andrea Rutsky

Andrea joined us in 2017 as now serves as the Board Secretary and Front Desk Administrator.

She relocated from Connecticut in 2016 with her family and immediately joined the HSLWR as a volunteer. She has served on other local Boards of Directors, including former President of the LWR Running Club and former Board Member of the Jingle Jog 5k and currently co-owns Project 24 Climbing in Sarasota.

Andrea has always been passionate about community involvement and cares deeply for animal welfare, rescuing and caring for dogs, guinea pigs, hampsters, bunnies, fish and frogs.

When not at the shelter, you can find her trail running, rock climbing or swimming somewhere around the globe!
