Leadership

Cindy Quenneville, MBA, has over 25 years’ experience serving as a nonprofit leader in the greater Phoenix area. During her years in leadership roles, Cindy has developed a distinct passion for serving the vulnerable. She spent 16 years as the Vice President/Executive Director of John C. Lincoln Health Network, overseeing all of the Desert Mission community service programs, serving 32,000 individuals each year. More recently Cindy spent two years as the CEO of Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS, the CEO for The New Foundation, Chief Program Officer for a New Leaf for two years and most recently as Executive Director for Sojourner Center.

Cindy is no stranger to the human-pet bond, having been a long-time foster parent for Arizona Border Collies and being a parent to four rescue dogs. This opportunity is a dream-come-true for Cindy. To be able to provide vital assistance to pets and to foster a community where all animals are treated with respect, dignity, and compassion is a win-win scenario for everyone in Cindy’s eyes.

A Phoenix native, Sheridan has always been  passionate about helping the animals in her community. She spent most of her career working in various roles at the 2nd largest open intake shelter in the US, which is where she gained her extensive knowledge and skillset in shelter, rescue, and behavior management. While Sheridan shares a home with multiple dogs, the love of her life is her “little old lady baby”, Jedi.
