I joined as Shelter Director at HumaneCNY in 2020. I am excited to raise money for HumaneCNY again this year! This will be my fourth Boilermaker and my third year running for such a great cause. Pictured with me is adoptable Joey. He was transfered to us from dog control in Gouverneur who had no room to keep him.

I’ve been an employee at HumaneCNY for nearly 3 years and this will be my third time participating in the Boilermaker with a charity bib. Last year I ran to advocate for Diamond (pictured here), a long time shelter dog who has since found her forever home! This year, I’m participating for dogs like Joey, a young Beagle that just recovered from Parvo.
Emily Cerio
I’m HumaneCNY’s Office Supervisor. At home, I have 3 cats, 1 of which were adopted from HumaneCNY. I have been working at HumaneCNY since July 2022 and have grown to appreciate all that shelters have to offer, and enjoy helping them help animals in need. My career goal is to be the Director of an animal shelter.
I’ve been an employee at HumaneCNY over a year! I’ve fostered dogs and cats, and most recently adopted my foster parvo puppy, Nugget in January. I also have 6 rescued cats. I’m walking in the Boilermaker this year for long time HumaneCNY residents like Kenzo (pictured here), Bugsy, and Tito, who are eagerly awaiting their perfect forever homes.
I am active in various animal rescue groups and I foster dogs. I also have adopted numerous dogs, and even 2 kitties. Last year, I adopted Syd. He is a young Red Tick Beagle that adds constant chaos to The Houndstead. His shenanigans keep myself and his canine siblings on our toes and we affectionately refer to him as a punk kid!
Prince and Dr. Bailey are speed-walking the Boiilermaker Virtual 5K in 2025! We walked for HumaneCNY in the virtual Boilermaker in 2024 (see Prince and his finishers medal pictured here) and loved it so much, we thought we would do it again! HumaneCNY provides such a valuable service to our community. We are proud to support an organization that cares for the members of our community that cannot speak for themselves.
I have been a volunteer at HumaneCNY for ten years. I foster dogs, help at events, create silent auction baskets, and bake for our annual bake sale. This will be my second year as a Charity Bib Runner!
Hi, my name is Headan! I love animals, especially my 2 sweet dogs pictured here! I recently started volunteering as a dog walker with HumaneCNY and this will be my first time running the Boilermaker 5k! I enjoy running and I am so excited to be able to run to help these deserving animals in need.
I currently reside in CNY with my husband Mike and our toddler, Marcie! I grew up with rescued animals and I now have 3 cats, Lucy, Rufus and Silvio and our dog, Penny. All rescues and all such special parts of our family! I have never run the Boilermaker, but know all too well the excitement that surrounds the yearly race from growing up in the area. I made it a goal for myself this year to start running, and to run for such a special cause makes this an even more exciting opportunity!
