Becky Dickson, Founding Member
1961-2017
We would not be here without the incredible vision of Becky Dickson. Serving as the Goochland County Administrator from 2009 until April 2016, Becky formed a team of residents who wanted to help with this vision. It was Becky's dream to form a public/private partnership between Goochland County and an organization to celebrate the human-pet bond. Goochland Pet Lovers (GPL) was formed in 2016 and it is our mission to make Becky's dream a reality. GPL is now the fundraising and community outreach organization in support of the shelter. Her family and friends remember and honor her every day by supporting these efforts.
