Lisa Waugh is the co-founder of Rusk County Pets Alive!. She is a life-long resident of Henderson Texas with an all-consuming love for animals that led to helping with transports for years. In 2018 Lisa connected with Kelli Ballenger after the situation at the local shelter continued to become more dire. Together they chose to develop an organization based on the lifesaving practices of American Pets Alive & Maddie’s Lifesaving Academy to target the animals on the euthanasia list at the shelter.
Lisa focuses on the Rusk County Pets Alive cat programs including a Barn Cat program, TNR, and a Ringworm medical ward. She also oversees social media for the organization.
