“You are the books you read, the films you watch, the music you listen to, the people you meet, the dreams you have, the conversations you engage in. You are what you take from these. [...] You are a collective of every experience you have had in your life. [...] So drown yourself in a sea of knowledge and existence. Let the words run through your veins and let the colours fill your mind.”
-R.M. Drake
Danielle Chancey
Board Secretary, Head of Fundraising & Events, and
Volunteer Appreciation Coordinator
Danielle has been volunteering for Furry Friends since November of 2019 and has since worn quite a few different hats. Starting out as a Foster, she then joined the Board of Directors as our Secretary, took up a shelter shift spot on Thursday mornings, and then became Head of Events & Fundraising. Additionally, and most recently, she’s taken on the new role of Volunteer Appreciation Coordinator.
When she’s not volunteering, she enjoys traveling, playing board games, reading fantasy novels, and camping with her husband, Luke, and their two dogs, Ruby and Buster. …She’d like to take the cats with them, but she has a feeling they wouldn’t like it nearly as much as the dogs do.
If she could tell the community one thing about cat rescue work it would be, “It’s not as easy as it looks, but it certainly is rewarding. Also… please spay and neuter your pets!”
The top three things Danielle wants you to know about her are that…
1. She is, unabashedly, a hardcore Swiftie
2. She and Luke are self-proclaimed Disney Adults
3. “I don’t drink coffee to wake up, I wake up to drink coffee.”
