REDMOND, OR -- Brightside Animal Center lost its Executive Director last week, when Chris Bauersfeld stepped down as leader of the Redmond shelter. Lindsey Bivens with Brightside says the shelter is currently accepting applications to fill the Executive Director vacancy. "It’s been a big change. Chris was an amazing part of our shelter, not only for the employees but really for the animals. She was the one that brought in our High-Save mission. And, really made what we are very proud of today." Brightside’s “high save” mission is based on a belief that every animal at the shelter deserves a secure future.
