Beth McPhee is known throughout our community for her dedicated service to helping the animals of our Charlottesville-Albemarle community. With close to 25 years of service, Beth has been an incredible asset to the animals of our community. Over the year's her responsibilities have increased substantially from the days when she sold feed and did adoptions at the SPCA. Beth recalls one of her first experiences, when SPCA founder Sally Mead asked Beth to clean the squirrel monkey cage. "I think it may have been some sort of initiation. I went to clean up after the monkey, and when I stuck my head into the enclosure the little monkey latched on to my face and bit my nose. Sally had to remove him from me." Beth explained that her and the monkey did become friends after this first meeting.
As an SPCA employee, Beth has certainly seen a lot over the years, and throughout this week, we will share some stories about Beth's time helping the animals in our community.
We hope you will join us this week in wishing Beth the happiest of birthdays. One awesome way to do that is by visiting the SPCA and taking advantage of Beth's Birthday Special by adopting a new friend this week. If you can't adopt consider making a donation in Beth's honor to help us care for all of the animals at the SPCA.
