About the League: Myra Copeland, Our Co-Founder

Saline Animal League has been overseeing animal welfare in Marshall, MO for almost 30 years, since our founding in 1997, with gratitude to our co-founder, Ms. Myra Copeland, Rest in Paws. We are run solely on donations and by the grace of volunteers, in our location at our Red House Rescue. Our primary goal is to keep our Red House Rescue running smoothly, so we can continue to care for, and find loving homes for all animals that come through our door.

To maintain our status as a no-kill shelter, it takes dedication; dedication from our Red House Rescue Staff, Volunteers, and Community who help us network our animals so they find their fur-ever homes, and raise funds so we can continue to keep our animals healthy. We are especially grateful to our neighbors in our Clay St. neighborhood for their profound patience and support as we set up our new look to the future at Red House Rescue!

Red House Rescue Managers Lead our Pack

Saline Animal League is privileged to have a dedicated network of volunteers (there’s room for many more) to assist with the intricate needs of running our Red House Rescue, but it takes leadership, daily commitment, and consistency to see to the welfare of the animals in our care. We are grateful to have Macy Belcher and Victoria Morgan, Red House Rescue Co-Coordinators, to oversee those needs and continue to find ways to make our Red House Rescue a vibrant, welcoming, and proactive place in our community. Thank you, Leaders!

Our Pack Consists of 100% Volunteers

We NEED YOU! Yes, you! No volunteer assistance is too small, as we need them all. With our transition to our Red House Rescue, our volunteer needs are even greater. Here is just the short list: dog walkers, cat box changers, CLEANERS (dog, cat, general) of every kind for our facility, laundry helpers, organizers, runners. You can’t go wrong if you’d like to volunteer with us, and we are so grateful.

Macy Belcher, SAL Red House Rescue Co-Coordinator

I moved to Marshall from DeQueen, Arkansas to attend Missouri Valley in 2018. I got the opportunity to be the groomer at the Dog Den. I built a connection with SAL, volunteering and fostering when I could. Building this connection with SAL and the community has really helped me step into this new role to further serve SAL and the animals we love.

 

Victoria Morgan, SAL Red House Rescue Co-Coordinator

Hi! I’m Victoria Morgan (formerly Phillips). Animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve loved every minute of being involved in the animal world. I plan to go back to school soon to earn my CVT and keep growing in the field I’m so passionate about.

I share my life with two little dogs who mean the world to me — Jarry, a 14-year-old Yorkipoo who was born at the local shelter while I was helping my mom who worked there at the time, and Aethelwulf, a sweet Shih Poo who came from the Saline Animal League in late 2023. After spending some time in Colorado, I’m excited to be back home and continuing to do what I love most — caring for animals and helping others do the same!
