Alyssa Krieger joined the MSPCA in 2010 as and adoption counselor and then as the manager of the Boston Adoption Center. While animals are what brought Alyssa to this work, people are what kept her in it. When the MSPCA began a Pets For Life program in 2018, it was Alyssa who spearheaded the program, which has grown from one person knocking on doors to a robust team serving 10 communities in Massachusetts.
