Judy O’Brien is a Belleville girl who’s love of animals became apparent at a very young age – her mother has jokingly told people that Judy’s first words were not “mama or papa” it was “DOG.”
One of my favorite sayings is “speaking for those who can’t speak for themselves,” this has really impacted me throughout my life. My passion to help others has inspired me to learn, work hard, and treat oth
ers the way I would want to be treated. Through hard work, reliability, passion, knowledge and skills I have worked my way up in Animal Welfare Organizations and Social Service Agencies:
-Executive Director of the Kingston Humane Society
-Acting Centre Manager of the Ontario SPCA Lennox & Addington Animal Centre
-Centre Manager of the Ontario SPCA Lennox & Addington Animal Centre
-Regional Manager Ontario SPCA
-Special Project Manager Ontario SPCA
-Peterborough Humane Society Executive Director – the Ontario SPCA loaned Judy to the Peterborough Humane Society for 2 years to run their day to day operations and to Oversee their 9.5 million dollar new shelter build that is in partnership with the Ontario SPCA.
-Executive Director of Quinte Destinations For Youth.
-Area Manager for the Ontario Lung Association in Kingston and Belleville Ontario. Judy’s innovative ideas, energy and willingness to help other animal welfare agencies has inspired her to develop and implement a Group called TEAMWORK –“TEAMWORK” is made up of Animal Welfare Individuals from across Ontario! These people volunteer their time and unconditionally come together to do wonderful things for other Humane Societies that need a helping hand. TEAMWORK’s first project was working on renovation projects in order to improve the environment for the Quinte Humane Society and the animals in their care. My talents for business, management, innovative ideas, ability to develop continued professional relationships with people made me uniquely qualified to develop and implement my own business “Peace of Mind Pet Sitting and Home Care Services.
