Ed Sayres, Senior Advisor
Ed Sayres has dedicated his life to championing animal welfare. Beginning as a manager of a small regional animal shelter in New Jersey, his career in the humane movement has spanned four decades—helping to save the lives of countless cats and dogs. In perhaps his most notable role, Mr. Sayres previously served as the President and CEO of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), the oldest animal welfare organization in North America.
Now, as a senior advisor to the Center for the Environment and Welfare, Mr. Sayres is once again helping to advocate for animals in need. He is ringing the alarm bell about the local pet shelter crisis in America—and specifically how large, national animal groups are leaving local shelters behind. To that end, Mr. Sayres urges animal lovers to give locally.
