Sandy Tiller
Board Chairperson and Director of Foster Homes
Sandy is CPCRN’s Chairperson and Director of all our wonderful foster homes. She joined the CP family in 2004 after adopting a Cairn (Lucy) from a local rescue group and going on line looking for information on Cairns and found Col. Potter. After seeing a post for the need for foster homes, she volunteered and fostered her very first foster (Mishka) in the summer of 2004. She was recruited to be a foster home mentor a few years after joining Col. Potter and from there moved up to Director of Foster Homes. Sandy has been a member of the Board since 2013. Sandy lives in the Pacific Northwest with her pack.
Tracey Martineau
Chief Financial Officer
Tracey has been in the non-profit accounting world for 20 years and lived most of her life in Rhode Island. She also volunteered for many years at a Rhode Island animal rescue agency, giving presentations to various aged school groups on pet care. She had lost two Cairns to the Bridge in 2004 when she found Col. Potter on the web. Tracey adopted her very first Col. Potter Cairn in 2005; she was an older dog and was only with her for two years but was very much loved. Tracey was living in Arizona in 2010 and decided her home needed a dog so back to Col. Potter she came, and another CP Cairn came into her family. She joined Col. Potter as a volunteer in 2011. Tracey is temporarily “Cairnless” and now lives in Connecticut, having returned to the East Coast in 2012.
Tracey joined the Col. Potter Board of Directors as CFO in May 2014.
Patty Hopkins
Board Secretary
Patty is a lifetime NYer, who adopted her 1st Cairn in 1990. It is no surprise that this first Cairn, Toto, started her love affair with the breed. It was the adoption of her 3rd Cairn and 1st from CPCRN in August 2010, when Patty first came to experience all the wonderful things CPCRN was doing. But it wasn’t until the adoption of her 2nd CPCRN girlie, Roxanne, in December 2012 that she would discover the enjoyment of volunteering and quickly jumped on transports, home inspections and fundraising.
Patty has recently retired spending her summers at Sacandaga Lake in the Adirondack mountains with her husband Doug, Roxanne and a family inheritance… A Yorkie named Ella.
Patty has joined the Col. Potter Board in October 2020.
