The founder of Grafton’s Happy Paws Haven, Sally Rogers, has been named as one of 34 finalists in the 2023 NSW Women of the Year Awards.

Happy Paws Haven is a not-for-profit rehoming sanctuary for companion animals which also provides opportunities for the community to gain work experience and volunteer. 

Through her work, Sally, of Eatonsville, continues to build a pathway for the future based on the needs of animals and the community, continuously upgrading skills and resources so new programs can be put in place.

Mr Rogers was a finalist in three categories in the 2023 Clarence Valley Citizen of the Year awards.

Winners of the seven categories in the 2023 NSW Women of the Year Awards will be announced during NSW Women’s Week on Thursday, March 9.
