The Halifax Humane Society announced Adam Leath as its new CEO on Wednesday, April 12.

Leath is currently the director of Volusia County Animal Services, a position he has occupied since 2019. HHS' former CEO, Pam Clayton, recently announced she would be stepping down to receive treatment for breast cancer. 

According to a news release, Leath previously worked as the manager of Kennel Operations at Lee County Domestic Animal Services, where he began his career in 2006, and said that he is "thrilled to be back in shelter management." 

"I want to expand on the lifesaving efforts currently underway and continue to focus on the needs of the pets entrusted to our care," Leath said of his first priority for HHS.

In addition to his work with the county, Leath is a courtesy assistant professor for the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine and sits on the board of directors for the National Animal Care and Control Association and the Florida Animal Control Association.
