Lily Wade
INTERN
Lily Wade is an aspiring animal hoarder. Her love for animals and lots of them came naturally, growing up in a home full of dogs and one Boss Cat that lived to be 19 years old. If she didn’t live under the domineering regime of her unreasonable mother, Lily would have far more animals at her home than the mere 5 dogs and 5 chickens that she currently has. In fact, she only has the chickens because of an elaborate ruse where she convinced her parents that she needed to build a chicken coop as a school project. Lily has volunteered at the AAC since 2014. She began by walking dogs and cleaning cages during her family vacations to Jackson, and, once they moved to Jackson full-time, Lily quickly became a regular at the shelter during the summer and on Saturdays. When Lily is not cleaning cat boxes (or otherwise saving animal lives), she attends high school at the Mountain Academy.
