Meet the Friends Management Team

Elaine Greene, Executive Director, has been with the Friends since July 1996, when Friends for the Dearborn Animal Shelter took over the operation of the Shelter for the City of Dearborn.  She worked for Michigan Humane Society for 22 years before coming to the Dearborn Shelter.  Elaine is also a Licensed Veterinary Technician, which in layman terms is an animal nurse.  As Executive Director she oversees all shelter operations and activities.  Elaine, along with her husband, Michael, four dogs, two cats,  and the occasional foster pet, enjoy their home in Dearborn.

Heather Mehi, Shelter Manager, started her animal career working as a grooming and  veterinary assistant with an area Veterinary clinic. After a few months, realizing that animals were her passion she took a job with Huron Valley Humane Society, then Michigan Humane Society. Heather came with Elaine to Dearborn Animal Shelter in July 1996 and has been  integral to the organization's growth and success. Heather shares her home with her partner, Anna, her dogs, cats and a parrot.

Kelle Sisung, Development Director, began her career with the shelter as a volunteer in 2001.  Within a few months we discovered her talent for organization and communications, along with her backround in publishing, and recruited her to become our Director of Volunteers(a volunteer position).  We were so impressed with the progress and work she did with the volunteers, that when the Friends decided it was time to hire a Development Director, Kelle was our first choice. The Devlopment Director basically is responsible for overseeing the annual fund, which includes events, grants, and appeals.  Fortunately for the Friends and the animals, Kelle accepted the position in June 2005. Since the moment she began her new position, it has been full steam ahead, since our organization continues to grow and requires more and more resources.
