Deborah Miller
Founder & Executive Director
GivePetsAChance
Debbie has loved animals since she was a child growing-up in Florida. While raising her son,
she had a 35 year career as a licensed nurse working in hospitals, medical offices and as
Director of Medical Services at a mental health center. Upon retiring from nursing, she went
to work for a Wooster-area veterinary hospital. It was from her experiences working there
that she recognized a need for an organization that could help pet owners pay for medical
care in times of financial stress. After researching the availability of such organizations and
deciding there was a need she founded GivePetsAChance, Inc. She lives in Wooster with
her husband Ray, her dog Pebbles and her cats Dusty, Foster, Mini, BC, Cowboy, Charlie
and various strays that will show up for a free meal now and then.
