Tricia Corder
Since 2018, Tricia has been generously sharing her time and talents with P.A.W.S. Hancock, using her photography to bring the unique personalities of countless animals to life. Through her lens, she has captured engaging photos of adoptable animals for the website, social media, and special events like Photos with the Easter Bunny and Photos with Santa. Her work not only highlights each animal’s charm but also plays an important role in helping them find loving homes and raising funds to keep P.A.W.S. running smoothly. Creative and compassionate, Tricia volunteers not for recognition, but to make a difference in the lives of animals—one photo at a time.
