Nancy's Legacy

​

P.A.W.S Hancock County's beloved executive director Nancy Rubino passed away January 11, 2019. Nancy’s life was all about animals. She was involved with various humane societies for many years.  Nancy’s love for animals began at an early age and continued throughout her adulthood. She nurtured, rescued, and rehabilitated a variety of wildlife, including their own menagerie.

We are committed to continuing that legacy. If you would like to read more about that legacy and who Nancy was, click here.
