Hadley is a lifetime Charlton resident and lifelong pet lover. After graduating from Shepherd Hill Regional High School, she earned a biology degree from Hood College in Maryland and is currently enrolled in an MBA program. She is a former member of the leadership team of Harrington Healthcare System in Southbridge and has an extensive background in many facets of business and the healthcare industry. 

While consulting for many years in hospitals nation-wide with her travel companion, a rescued Lhasa Apso, she patronized pet care facilities throughout the country.  These opportunities allowed her to observe and explore great and not-so-great facilities to ensure that only the best practices are implemented at Paw Plaza. 

 With Paw Plaza in sight, Hadley has accrued more than 300 hours of education, attended dozens of conferences and trade shows, consulted renowned experts in the pet industry, and joined and participated in numerous professional pet organizations.
