Lindsey Covington - Senior Manager of Canine Lifesaving

Lindsey started at RAL in June of 2022 as an Animal Care Assistant. She then became the Assistant Shelter Director in September of 2022 and became the Director of Dog Lifesaving in October 2023.

She went to VCU and Majored in Health & Human Performance: Education K-12. Lindsey then spent 14 years in education, teaching Middle School Health & P.E. While teaching, Lindsey spent her free time in the animal welfare world, fostering, transporting, trapping, networking, doing whatever she could to help. This lead to the realization that her real passion is in animal welfare, prompting a change in career from teacher to RAL’s Assistant Kennel Director.

Lindsey loves animal welfare, spending time with friends and family, and the outdoors.
