Ann Logan

Board Member & Former Chair

Ann Logan began her professional career as a teacher after receiving a B.S in child development at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Other professional responsibilities included working with her husband in his manufacturers’ agency.
Since moving to Franklin in 1979, Ann has been deeply gratified by numerous volunteer opportunities. She was appointed to the Franklin Planning Commission and served as property chair of the YWCA of Middle Tennessee, coordinating the renovation of a building for use as a domestic violence shelter. She was then elected to the YWCA board and nominated for the Mary Catherine Strobel Volunteer Award given annually in Middle TN for the most outstanding individual volunteer service.

Ann's greatest passion has always been for animal advocacy. She became a charter member of a local non-profit formed to build an animal shelter, helped with fundraising and served as co-chair of the foster & adoption program. Eventually feeling a need to shift focus to prevention through spay/neuter, in 1986 she founded People For Animals (PFA), a non-profit offering spay/neuter assistance. She continues to serve as its president. A secondary, founding mission of PFA was advocacy for the county’s animal shelter which led to her 1989 work in authoring the shelter’s first, mandated spay-neuter program.
Past volunteer service included United Partnership for Animal Welfare where she chaired the Policy & Legislation committee. She later joined the Williamson County Animal Control Task Force which evolved into the non-profit of today…Friends of Williamson County Animal Center. She now serves as president of the Board.

Ann lives in Franklin with her husband and three dogs (two from our shelter) and a cat who was homeless and “chose” them. Their son, an important part of their lives, has four rescued cats--her “grand-cats.” Ann’s passion for benefiting and protecting the lives of animals—individually and collectively-- points to this belief: When many animals still endure so much, we should focus each hour and dollar we commit on efforts that produce the greatest benefit to the most animals. She believes that “Friends…” can accomplish that as a vital shelter partner in the challenge of realizing our potential for improving quality of life for our community’s animals and the humans who care about them.
