Ann Smith

Board Member

Ann moved to Jackson Hole with her two sons and then National Park service husband in 1981. An animal advocate since childhood, she always rescued homeless dogs, cats, birds and even an orphaned baby raccoon! Ann founded PAWS of Jackson Hole in 1999. A wildlife photographer and huge fan of grizzly bear 399, Ann was one of the five founders of Shoot ‘Em With a Camera campaign that encouraged people to apply for a grizzly bear tag and shoot with a camera not a gun. Ultimately the grizzly bears were restored to the endangered species list. Ann currently serves on the Board of Jackson Hole K-9 Auxiliary and Wyoming Untrapped. She shares her home in East Jackson with her beloved rescue pup Bandit and crazy kitty Ginny.
