The Humane Society of Sonoma County has announced the resignation of Scott Anderson as executive director. Anderson left his post late last month.

Anderson joined the Humane Society in 2005 to help open a veterinary hospital at the shelter's location on Highway 12 between Santa Rosa and Sebastopol.

Humane Society Board President Mark Penn announced the resignation. A search will be done for a new executive director.

The former director of the Marin Humane Society, Diane Allevato, has been brought in to consult on shelter operations. Allevato will evaluate programs and map out a plan for growth of shelter programs and operations.

A drop off in donations prompted staff reductions at the shelter earlier this year.
