Janet Foster is stepping down after six years as Executive Director of the Saint John Animal Rescue League.
Foster tells CHSJ news she has done everything she set out to do now that things at the shelter have turned around.
She says they bought the old Peacock's garden centre site for a new shelter and they have money in the bank so things look really solid.
Foster says she stayed two years past her retirement and planned to stick around until the new shelter was built but, says she would be 70 years old by then so, right now feels the right time to go.
