Amber Greene receives her award from Commissioner Pam Frederick.
Smith County Animal Control and Shelter Supervisor Amber Greene was recognized for her five years of service to the county.
Appointed to serve as supervisor in February 2020, by the Smith County Commissioners Court, she began working as an animal control officer for Smith County in December 2019 and has 10 years of experience working as an animal control officer for the City of Tyler.
Outgoing Commissioner Pam Frederick said Ms. Greene has a passion for what she does. She can tell you something about every dog in the shelter and lights up when she talks about a new litter of puppies.
“I’m very proud of the job she’s done,” Frederick said during Commissioners Court on Tuesday. “They do the very best they can with what they have… Amber, we appreciate you and hope you’ll be here for many more years.”
