Shelley Lieberman has built a life around a simple but powerful idea: when you care deeply about something, that’s where your work should begin. That mindset has guided her journey as a passionate advocate for both animals and the people who love them. As a longtime board member of Ohio Animal Advocates (OAA), Shelley has helped lead efforts that connect the dots between animal welfare, domestic violence, and homelessness.

Jill Herbst, a founding board member of the Ohio Animal Foundation (OAF), has been deeply involved in advancing animal welfare in Ohio since the organization’s early beginnings in 2016. From shaping the foundation’s strategic vision to authoring educational content and coordinating outreach, Herbst has played a central role in OAF’s development.

We are thrilled to share that our Board President, Megan Moon, has been honored as the April 2025 recipient of the ‘Do Good for Dayton’ Award. This prestigious recognition celebrates individuals who make significant positive impacts in the Miami Valley, inspiring others to contribute to the betterment of their communities.
