Ellen Quinlan

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Ellen and Alan opened the restaurant “Darbster” in 2009, and thus the Foundation was formed. 100% of all profits from Darbster Food go toward The Darbster Foundation. Ellen works with rescue partners and volunteers in South Florida to save lives that are brought up to New Hampshire.

The Foundation now has two adoption facilities in New Hampshire. Darbster Kitty which opened in Manchester, New Hampshire in 2015, facilitates the rescue, transport and adoption of kitties. Darbster Doggy, which is located in Chichester, New Hampshire, opened in late 2018.

Deborah Smith

TRANSPORT & PUBLIC RELATIONS

Deborah has been working with the founders since the inception of the Darbster Foundation. In 2017, she began coordinating the weekly air transport for Darbster Kitty, working closely with our South Florida rescue partners and expanded her role in public relations, fund raising and administrative duties. Her constant companion, Mr. Big was a Darbster Foundation rescue who works with her in the West Palm Beach office.

Andrew Doyle

OPERATIONS MANAGER

Andrew joined Darbster in December of 2021 after years working in higher education and intercollegiate athletics/recreation. He most recently served as SNHU’s Coordinator of Recreation and as a full-time member of the campus transformation team, but still works as an adjunct instructor both online and on-campus. In addition to his experience at SNHU, Andrew has worked in multiple volunteer roles with organizations like the Manchester Animal Shelter and Joppa Hill Educational Farm. His love for animals dates back to his childhood when his mother volunteered at a cat shelter and his father trained and competed in retriever and pointer field trials. He now resides in Concord with his wife, Amanda, and two rescues Templeton & Nellie.
