Elizabeth Spannuth:Treasurer
From an early age, Elizabeth was raised in an ecosystem where dogs and cats got along. This not only cultivated her love of animals but also her belief that with love all things are possible. She has a varied background, which includes producing live events, small business management, and product development. She brings a multipurpose skill set that includes data management and a highly developed sense of humor. She has been active with Pro-Bone-O and is continually moved by the willingness of people to share what they have with their animal companions, no matter how little it is.
Rochelle Ammon: Interim Secretary
Rochelle Ammon was raised in Lebanon, Oregon. She grew up on a ranch with 13 head of horses and 250 head of Hereford cattle. Her parents trained and showed horses and operated the 500-acre ranch. Animals have always been a part of her life. Currently, she has five alpacas, five dogs, and four cats.
Rochelle has been in accounting since 1984 and works as an accountant at Oregon State University. She was the fiscal coordinator for 11 years for the Boys & Girls Club of Corvallis before OSU. Rochelle was also the treasurer for Zonta of Corvallis for two and half years.

Rochelle has volunteered at Pro-Bone-O since 2014 and was awarded the Pro-Bone-O’s Debbi Bricco Service Award in 2018.
Diane Weaver, CVT
Diane is originally from Chicago, Illinois, and has been an animal advocate most of her life. She began her veterinary technician career in 1979. A volunteer vet tech with Pro-Bone-O for almost 10 years, she joined the board in November, 2011, and is now vice president. She has volunteered with Lane County Animal Services and is currently a volunteer CVT at Willamette Animal Guild (WAG) and Shelter Animal Resource Alliance (S.A.R.A). Diane also sits on the board of the Willamette Animal Guild. As the wife of a Coast Guard helicopter pilot, she moved around the country. She worked in many veterinary clinics, as well as volunteering in a variety of animal shelters along the way. Diane had her federal & state wildlife rehabilitation permits and has volunteered at various rehabilitation facilities, including Cascades Raptor Center in Eugene. She has been involved in obedience and agility training and competition with her dogs. Now, with her husband retired, she lives on a “ranch” in Elmira with dogs, cats, horses, alpacas, a llama, two goats, chickens, a Russian tortoise, and her very tolerant husband. When she is not caring for animals, she enjoys weaving, spinning, reading, and horseback riding.
Lisa Hayes
Lisa grew up in Montana and relocated to Oregon in 2000. She was a die-hard cat person until 2008, when she met and fell in love with her heart dog, Macy, a gorgeous American Staffordshire Terrier. Over the next 14 years, not only did Lisa find herself becoming an advocate for bully breeds in general, but she realized she was, through and through, a “dog mom.” Over the years, Macy walked her through many life-altering events, some tragic, some not so much, but always with forgiveness, courage, and unconditional love. This is how Lisa came to understand the difference one dog can make in one person’s life, simply by showing up and being a true friend.
Although Macy is gone now, the lessons she left remain: animals are life-changing and deserve the very best we can give them. This is what led Lisa to Pro-Bone-O, which keeps her passionate about helping these angels on four legs live their best lives. Aside from that, Lisa lives in Eugene with her husband and their Mini Aussie, Blaze. They own a small business, and she actively tries to leave a positive imprint like Macy did, one day at a time.
