	Ellyn Robinson Ellyn Robinson has been involved with the SFSPCA since 1996 and a Board Member since 1997. As an animal lover and horse owner she became involved learning about the need in the community. Since the other animal welfare agencies in Dade County are not equipped to handle horses, the SFSPCA fills an important void. Ellyn is inspired by the South Florida SPCA’s noble mission and she likes making a difference in the quality of life for these innocent animals. Since 1987, Ellyn has been the coordinator of an animal assisted therapy program at Villa Maria Nursing Center. She loves working with the elderly and is assisted by her “therapet” Venus, a golden retriever. She is also a member of the Humane Society of Greater Miami and serves on their Action Committee.
