Gretchen Schaller

Gretchen has lived in Northern Michigan her entire life. She grew up in Petoskey and moved to Charlevoix in 1996 after graduating from the University of Michigan. She chose to raise her three children here because of the wonderful community she lives in. Gretchen’s relationship with the Charlevoix Humane Society started in the late 1990’s when she was an advertising representative for the Petoskey News-Review. She would take photos of the pets that were up for adoption along with short stories on each and ended up adopting several of the animals she took photos of. Gretchen currently has two dogs and two cats. Because of her experience with advertising and marketing, she thought she could assist the board in these areas and has also helped with many CAHS fundraising functions.
