Personnel File Gina Jenkins is the Orange County Animal Shelter Director. She originally began as a volunteer for the shelter, but quickly came on the staff team owing to her dedication and effort (on a side note she encourages interested folks to consider volunteering, it’s a great way to help the critters in our care). Her favorite part of the role is “helping homeless animals see that there are good people in the world and watching them slowly come out of their shells and learn to trust again.” It can be very rewarding. She recalled working an adoption event early in her tenure. One of the dogs had been passed over for almost two years without adoption interest, but they found him a great fit. “[The family] kept in touch with me and visited the shelter every month until he passed,” Gina said. Unfortunately, the job also requires seeing animals in poor conditions during surrenders or seizures. “It can be hard on the heart,” she said, but in those situations, the shelter staff work hard to give the animals a better future.

When not looking after the cats and dogs in the care of the shelter, Gina says she enjoys baking, cooking and eating! In fact, her dream vacation would be a trip to Italy in order to sample the delicious delicacies the country is known for. Speaking of good taste, Gina said when it comes to music she LOVES listening to eighties hair bands! If she could pick her own theme song, she would choose Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing , which we feel is a fitting tune for someone who puts so much effort into giving Orange County’s cats and dogs another chance at a happy life with a perfect family. Thanks Gina! 30
