I had the pleasure of working with Peggy Langle when I was a clinic veterinarian at the Santa Barbara Humane Society (SBHS) in 2005 and then the Director of Medicine for the shelter from 2006 through 2012.
I have the utmost respect and admiration for Peggy, as an individual and as the executive director of SBHS. Her professionalism, communication skills, knowledge of animal welfare, and most of all her deep compassion for every single animal in the shelter made me proud to be a part of the SBHS team.
Peggy was tireless in her commitment to the shelter on a day-to-day basis as well as during the crisis situations she managed during our many fires in Santa Barbara, when shelter personnel were working round the clock and our shelter population sky rocketed with displaced pets.
