The Board & volunteers
2024/2025 Board of directors
Blake Barber
CEO/Chairman
“The opportunity to work with my family and this wonderful board of directors to tackle such a prevalent problem in our community means the world to me. I look forward to growing our organization to help save dogs that otherwise wouldn’t have a chance, and provide sanctuary to dogs that have endured the worst. Saving one dog won’t change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever. ”
-Blake Barber
Kris Barber
COO/Founder
“Setting up a rescue & sanctuary has been my dream for many years. I am so thankful to my family and for each of the board members as well as the amazing community that has supported me long before the rescue/sanctuary was officially established. I greatly appreciate everyone that has helped my dream become a reality!”
-Kris Barber
Huntington Prater
Treasurer
“Coming from recent involvement with another nonprofit, I felt like what I learned could be easily translated into helping RTTRS grow into what we believe it can be. Using my background in finance and investments, I hope to be able to help manage that side of the operation and be a crucial part of helping out as many dogs as possible. The rescue and sanctuary really speaks to me, having two dogs myself. I can’t wait to see all of the good we can do through RTTRS!”
– Huntington Prater
Donovan Einkauf
Director
“I’ve been around dogs my entire life, from family pets to our family business. Being part of this rescue and sanctuary allows me to contribute directly to helping dogs in need, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact!”
– Donovan Einkauf
Shelley Howell
Director of Events
“When Kris asked me if I would be interested in joining the board, I was very excited. I believe every animal deserves a loving home. In the past, I have helped rescues with transporting dogs and a few cats, fostered a few sweet pooches, and proud to say I am a foster fail to one very spoiled pooch!”
