Treasurer— John Ezell

Hi, I’m John Ezell. I was born and raised here in Marshall, Missouri, and I currently serve as the Treasurer for Saline Animal League. I’m also a small business owner, which has given me a strong understanding of responsibility, budgeting, and staying organized—skills I bring into my role with the organization.

I enjoy volunteering and helping my community whenever I can. Over the years, I’ve volunteered and served on committees for organizations like the American Cancer Society, Children’s Miracle Network, People First of Missouri Disability Advocacy Group, and the Saline County Historical Society. Being part of Saline Animal League is another way for me to stay involved and support efforts to help animals in our community.

At home, I’ve got two cats who definitely think they’re in charge and a little Chihuahua who keeps things interesting.

Secretary— Dr. Remington Siebert

Dr. Siebert originally from Lincoln, NE joined the Saline Animal League's Executive board as the Secretary in 2026. She is a local chiropractor at Marshall Chiropractic that originally joined the Rescues family in 2024 when she and her husband adopted their two dogs Duck and Scout from the Rescue. Dr. Siebert is excited to help the league grow and be more involved with the local community.

We are always in need of volunteers, whether to foster, transport, do walkies, help clean, network, and add to our skills of helping our animals in all ways possible. No assistance is too small, and we urge you to reach out to us to help build our amazing mission.
