Another of Baylor’s own honored with public service award

We wrote earlier this month about Baylor sophomore Kristin Elliot being honored with a Jefferson Award for public service; now this week comes news of yet another member of the Baylor family receiving the award.

Alumna Betsy Robinson founded Fuzzy Friends Rescue animal shelter in 1996, and she has been the driving force behind one of the finest no-kill shelters in the country ever since. Robinson is a full-time volunteer, raising funds to maintain the Waco shelter that now numbers 100 volunteers, 15 employees and numerous outreach programs involving community, church and school groups. She is credited with saving the lives of more than 6,000 dogs and cats.

Waco’s KWTX Channel 10 recently honored Robinson with a Jefferson Awards for her extraordinary public service. (Click here for an interview with Betsy.) Robinson was also honored at the national ceremony in Washingon, D.C.

Sic ’em, Betsy!
