WASHINGTON C.H. – The Fayette Regional Humane Society (FRHS) recently hired Nick Marando as a humane agent, adding him to their animal cruelty investigation department.

Marando, who is currently a volunteer humane agent at the Highland County Humane Society, has submitted a letter of resignation with his tenure ending on June 30.

“I first became acquainted with Nick a little over a year ago while training him as a humane agent for Highland County,” said Brad Adams, Fayette Regional Humane Society Humane Agent and Outreach Director. “He always displays high professionalism during the performance of his duties as humane agent and he is exactly the type of person who we want a part of our team.”

The Highland County Humane Society Board President was unable to be reached for comment at the time of this news release by Adams at FRHS.

“I felt it was best to resign as humane agent in Highland county since humane agent services are expanding in Fayette County,” said Marando. “I wouldn’t want the Highland County Humane Society to suffer by the need for me to reduce my volunteer hours.”

Over 330 documented volunteer hours were given to the Highland County Humane Society according to Marando’s records.

“I think that is an astounding number and it speaks volumes of his character and dedication to their organization,” said Adams.

Marando will join three other humane agents at the Fayette Regional Humane Society (FRHS), which is located in downtown Washington C.H. An additional humane agent position was added due to their animal cruelty investigation and enforcement services expanding.

“I’ve visited the Fayette Regional Humane Society many times and was very impressed with the professional environment and the staff,” said Marando. “I also observed a lot of support from the citizens in Fayette County to the humane society in such a way that enables humane agents to help more.”

“There are many programs they offer that benefit both animals and people. Humane Agents also receive a lot of support from the board of directors. The other law enforcement agencies in Fayette County also work really well with the humane agents regarding animal welfare. Everyone there works and communicates with each other efficiently."

The Fayette Regional Humane Society is a non-profit (501(c)(3), volunteer organization. They receive less than 2% of their support from governmental organizations and therefore must rely on donations, grants and fundraising to carry out their mission. The Humane Society is the only organization in Fayette County able to respond to calls about abused, neglected and injured domestic animals, 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
