Animal Wellness Veterinarian Dr. Karen Becker

Mary Jo Rulffes, president of the Australian Cattle Dog Rescue Association (ACDRA), was nominated for a Game Changer Award by Nancy V. A serendipitous meeting during a 2013 shopping trip in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, brought Mary Jo Rulffes together with ACDRA, after she worked with them to rescue a cattle dog in need. Not only were they able to rescue the dog, but Rulffes ended up adopting her — and soon became president of ACDRA.
