我们的团队

FOUNDERS:

创始人：

Amy: Amy has the passion, persistence, and fight to bring the topic of canid conservation into mainstream.  Through the JABCECC, she will develop relationships with diverse organizations, academics, experts, industries, companies and people to find targeted ways to work together to better understand the key issues affecting canids, realistic solutions, and barriers to the implementation of those solutions.  Amy has worked closely in the scientific space with not only the ICG, but with other key opinion leaders and those driving efforts in research and conservation.  She is an expert in clinical trials and the execution of clinical protocols for publication and regulatory review.  Using this expertise and her love for animals, she will direct the research efforts at the JABCECC.   Above all, it is her unyielding motivation to fight for those animals that have no voice, no audience, and no solutions.  Whether it is the horrific use of animals in the fur industry, culling wolves, coyotes and wild dogs,  destroying the precious genetic integrity of primitive dog breeds, or rescuing shelter dogs, she will put her entire soul and heart into making a difference.  Using the Ambassador foxes and other canids, she will strive to demonstrate the value of each species and each individual within the species and provide evidence based solutions and strategies for conservation.

　　Amy：Amy有激情，有毅力，她为将保护犬科动物引入主流话题而奋斗。通过JABCECC，她将与不同的组织、学者、专家、行业、公司和个人建立联系，找到有针对性的合作方式，更好地了解影响犬科动物的关键问题、现实的解决方案以及实施这些方案会遇到的阻碍。Amy在科学领域不仅与ICG密切合作，而且与其他关键主张的领导者以及开展研究和保护工作的人密切合作。她是临床试验和临床方案出版及监管审查执行方面的专家。利用她的专业知识和对动物的热爱，她将指导JABCECC的研究工作。最重要的是，为那些沉默的、没有人了解的、没有受到保护的动物而战，是她不屈不挠的动力。无论是抵制在毛皮工业中对动物的可怕加工，捕杀狼、郊狼和野狗，破坏原始犬种珍贵的基因完整性，还是拯救收容所的狗，她都会全身心地投入到改变这些中去。利用大使狐狸和其他犬科动物，她将努力展示每个物种和物种内每个个体的价值，并为保护它们提供有效的解决方案和策略。

Dave:  Dave is not only our animal behaviorist, he is the creative intelligence of the JABCECC. Dave has over 40+ years in K9 breeding and training, specializing in obedience and utility work.  He has also spent his life as an entrepreneur as a biomechanical engineer developing prosthetics.  Dave is truly an out of the box thinker who is able to bring technology and concepts from various professions and combine them together to create novel solutions to a new area.  If it doesn't defy the laws of physics, Dave will find a way to make it happen. It is fairly evident he is Judi's son, and has taken the "watch me" philosophy to how he lives his life.  This skill-set combined with his intelligence and ability to connect with and understand animals will be instrumental in developing the foundation for the direction of the JABCECC.   Dave's passion for animals, canines in particular, and his confidence,  with the support of Amy,  can truly change the landscape for Conservation groups. This has inspired him to create the JAB Canid Education and Conservation Center with Amy.  Through interactive education, research programs, and animal assisted therapy programs with our Ambassador canids, the JABCECC can truly make an impact on the lives of their wild and captive bred counterparts.

　　Dave：Dave不仅是我们的动物行为学家，他还是JABCECC的创意天才。Dave在K9[谐音同canine，指犬科]育种和训练方面有40多年的经验，专门从事服从性和功能性训练工作。他一生都是一名企业家，也是一名致力于开发假肢的生物力学工程师。Dave非常具有创造性思维，他能够将不同专业的技术和概念结合起来，为一个新领域的问题提出新颖的解决方案。如果不违背物理定律，Dave会想办法实现的。他是Judith的儿子，他把“watch me[看着我做]”的哲学带到了生活中。这种观念与他的智慧以及与动物沟通和理解动物的能力相结合，将有助于为JABCECC的发展方向奠定基础。Dave对动物，尤其是犬科动物的热情，以及他的自信，在Amy的支持下，可以真正改变保护组织的面貌，这激发了他和Amy一起创建JAB犬科动物教育和保护中心。通过互动式教育、研究项目和我们大使犬参与的动物辅助治疗项目，JABCECC可以真正改变它们的生活。

TEAM:

团队：

Behavior Specialist/Trainer: Melissa Beeson Dixon

行为专家/培训师：Melissa Beeson Dixon

Melissa reached us to us with a love of working with mammals. She has been a trainer at a local Zoo for about 12 years and prior to that worked a local animal non-profit. She also has a business as a dog trainer in San Diego County. Melissa brings the perfect blend of understanding how to work with exotic animals while also applying training techniques used with domesticated dogs. Since our animals fit somewhere in between the two, it makes her uniquely qualified to help train the animals. Currently, we are working on training them in nose work/scent work. This would be similar training to what bomb/drug sniffing dogs undergo. We find this training to provide a lot of enrichment for the foxes and singers while also allowing us to explore their capabilities in utility work.

Melissa also lives on the property with her husband is help manage the center and all the animals.

　　Melissa带着对哺乳动物研究的热爱联系了我们。她在当地一家动物园当了12年的驯兽师，在此之前，她在当地一家非营利动物组织工作。她还在圣地亚哥从事训狗师的工作。Melissa让我们懂得如何与外来动物相处，以及如何将驯养狗的方法应用到这些动物身上。由于我们的动物介于两者之间，这使得她有资格帮助训练动物。目前，我们正在对它们进行嗅探训练，这类似于炸弹/毒品嗅探犬接受的训练。我们发现这次训练为狐狸和歌唱犬提供了很丰富的内容，同时也让我们开始探索他们在公用事业工作中可以发挥的作用。

　　Melissa和她的丈夫一起住在这里，帮助管理中心和所有的动物。

Board Member/CPA: Roxanne Greene

董事会成员/会计师:Roxanne Greene

Roxanne started out as a visitor to the center. She booked a private encounter for herself and her husband John and also gifted three encounters to her employees. Once she came to the center, she knew this was a place she wanted to be a part of because she saw how special these animals were. Roxanne started volunteering shortly after and it was long before she was added to the Board of Directors for the nonprofit and became the CPA. Her amazing ability with animals has made her a huge asset to the team. She is a woman of numerous talents, and you will routinely see her handling animals, giving presentations, planting and watering and jumping in when anything needs to get done. Her specialty is her bento boxes she makes for the encounters. These are filled with all sorts of yummy veggies, fruits, meats and cheeses for the foxes and yote girls. She surprises us with new things for the foxes to try weekly and we get to show our guests that while foxes are omnivores - many are also very picky eaters!! In her spare time, Roxanne has horses, a donkey, and three amazing dogs. She is a friend to every insect and reptile and can quickly save the rest of us from an unwelcomed tarantula.

　　Roxanne一开始是作为中心的访客。她为自己和丈夫John预定了一次私人动物会面，并奖励给她的员工三次会面。一来到这个中心，她就知道她想成为其中一员，因为她看到了这些动物是多么的特别。不久之后，Roxanne开始了志愿服务，很久之后，她才加入了这家非营利组织的董事会，并成为了会计。她与动物相处的惊人能力使她成为团队的巨大财富。她是一个多才多艺的女人，你会经常看到她照顾动物，做演讲，种植和浇水，当有任何事情要做时，她都会参与进来。她的专长是为会面做便当盒。里面装满了各种美味的蔬菜、水果、肉类和奶酪，是给狐狸和酸奶女孩[ref：yote girls]吃的。她每周都会给我们惊喜，让狐狸尝试新的东西，我们可以向我们的客人展示，虽然狐狸是杂食动物，但许多狐狸也非常挑剔！除此之外，Roxanne有几匹马，一头驴和三只可爱的狗。她是所有昆虫和爬行动物的朋友，能迅速从一只不受欢迎的狼蛛手中拯救我们。

Rescue Specialist: Victoria Klouda

救援专家：Victoria·Klouda

Victoria has been a fierce advocate for both foxes and Singers with over 6 NGSD rescues/placements to her credit!!!  With only 250-300 in the captive population, that is very impressive...

The JABCECC is lucky to have such an intelligent, clever, and compassionate advocate on our team!  If you have located a singer, fox, coyote, wolf-dog that is in need of rescue or placement, please contact us and Victoria will follow-up with you!!! 

　　Victoria一直是狐狸和歌唱犬的强烈拥护者，她有超过6次NGSD[新几内亚歌唱犬]救援/安置经历！！圈养种群中只有250-300只，这令人印象深刻……以下歌手感谢她为他们找到永远的家：Mingo, Livvy, Melbourne, Bonnie, Lyric, Max和Titian！！JABCECC很幸运，我们的团队中有这样一个聪明伶俐、富有同情心的倡导者！如果您找到了需要救援或安置的歌唱犬、狐狸、郊狼、狼狗，请与我们联系，Victoria会跟进！！
