Rescue Me Tucson has a board of seasoned animal advocates. Board member expertise includes non-profit, small business, shelter, rescue and foster experience; and public policy development.

RMT has worked diligently with community partners to lay the groundwork for success for our center, which will provide a vibrant, welcoming shared space where partnerships thrive and the community can participate in finding solutions to help homeless companion animals.
