Patty Lane ('81) started the Happy Dog Farm Foundation in 2012, a nonprofit dog sanctuary for unwanted dogs, especially smaller breeds. Lane has rescued dogs since she was a girl, and after her dad passed away in 2006 she used her inheritance to buy an acreage and build a property for herself and seven dogs. Lane also has a full time job working with special education children in the Edmond Public Schools. After she retires in 2024, she plans to form a coalition of rescue organizations to push for stricter regulations in Oklahoma regarding stray animals.

Outstanding work, Patty! We are so proud of you and all of the great work you do in the lives of canines as well as children in your community.
