Who is Coco’s?

Our board members are volunteers who donate each day financially and physically.

Board Members

Suzanne Aaron, President

Suzanne is a firm believer that proper training is the key to creating a harmonious human/k9 relationship. Also, that a large amount of the homeless pet population is a direct result of lack of training, both owners and pets. She has bred, raised, and trained dogs for 20+ years. Several years ago, she left a hectic professional career in transportation to work with dogs full time. She currently manages a dog daycare facility, as well as owns TAO K9 Unleashed Dog Training. Suzanne is one of the founders of Coco’s and was nominated president in Sept 2012.

Kathy Addis, Treasurer

Kathy is an avid pet protector and has been active in the community helping strays for years. Despite her hectic nursing career, she always makes time to help neighbors and others in the community. Kathy was involved with Coco’s from inception and graciously accepted the role of Treasurer in Sept 2012.

Jayne Midura, Board Member
Jayne is a Pike County school teacher who is also an animal activist. In addition to being a Coco’s volunteer, we asked her in September 2012 to handle our public speaking engagements and she is heading up the committee to work with Pike County Commissioners on the animal control agenda.
Jim Ramseur, Board Member

James Ramseur’s area of expertise is centered on medium to large land acquisitions, income and investment properties for our private and public investors as well as timber companies within Atlanta and the Southeast United States. Mr. Ramseur is charged with heading up our Land Conservation Division which specializes in mineral properties, endangered species, and floral and native habitat throughout the Southeast. In addition, his responsibilities include acquisition and disposition of land for Single Family Residential, Multi-Family, and Mixed-Use Developments. Jim’s expertise in national and international hospitality and mixed use waterfront developments has allowed him to align himself with Lee & Associates Principal, Allen Eager, in unlocking unique opportunities for resort master planned developments in countries such as Belize, St. Croix, Dominican Republic, and other Caribbean countries.

Dr. Suzy Obsitnik, Board Member
Suzy is a retired veterinarian who now gives back to the community in a way that she loves–as a veterinarian to rescue dogs. 
Dr. Suzy worked for The Animal Medical Clinic in Peachtree City from 1996 to 2022, specializing in ultrasounds. During this time, she met Suzanne Aaron and the two co-managed The Animal Medical Clinic’s Pet Care Center.
For years, Suzy has worked with Coco’s Cupboard and now she is excited to get more involved as a Coco’s Cupboard Board Member.
Luana Cliche, Board Member

Luana Cliche is formally a Delta Airlines Event coordinator and is now a housewife. She is married to David Cliche, co-owner of Distribution by Air Atlanta. Together, they have four children: Kali, Malorie, Parker, and Lilia.

Luana has always had a passion for animals, ever since she was a child. Her journey into the rescue world began five years ago with a puppy she met while volunteering at a local shelter and later adopted, whom they named Tito. Tito is a mixed Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix. They rescued Whiskey, who is also an Australian Shepherd, when they moved from Peachtree City to Fayette County.

Luana first became involved with Coco’s Cupboard while planning and executing a charity golf tournament that benefited the rescue. She and her husband have since been passionate about doing what they can to support fundraising efforts for Coco’s Cupboard. Luana has recently joined Coco’s Cupboard as a board member and is looking forward to being more involved in such a great cause.
