    Ep. 144 - Animal Rescue Corps

    This week I talk with Tim Woodward of Animal Rescue Corps. This was a really cool one for me because it is an organization right down the road and I will definitely be stopping by for a visit! Tim and I discuss his journey into animal rescue, how he was a founding member of Animal Rescue Corps, and the work they do on serious animal cases throughout North America. And in case you were wondering, they work with animals from dogs and cats to lemurs and ferrets and everything in between. To learn more about the work Animal Rescue Corps is doing you can check them out on social media @arcorps and at www.animalrescuecorps.org.

    Ep. 143 - Wildlife SOS

    This week I talk with Nikki Sharp, Executive Director of Wildlife SOS. Nikki and I discuss how a chance meeting at a dinner led her to joining Wildlife SOS and helping people and animals in India. She shares how the founders saw a need to end dancing bears and set a goal to end the practice in 2010. However, through persistence and determination they were able to end the practice earlier than they hoped and are continuing this trajectory with other animals. This episode does cover some disturbing ways that people have used animals to earn a living.

    This week I talk with Shawn Allen Stewart about his book series Bailey and Daisy. We discuss how growing up with rescue animals shaped him, the work he is doing in the animal world with grooming and daycare/boarding, and most importantly, the Bailey and Daisy series! This series, while intended for children, has something for everyone. And if you are like me and need a fidget to stay focused, there is a companion coloring book you can color and follow along with!

    Ep. 141 - Tom Kiesche

    This week I talk with Tom Kiesche about, well, a little bit of everything. How animal rescue wasn't necessarily on his radar until a date he went on, balancing shelter volunteering with life, and most importantly his advice for how to keep going in a space that can be mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausting. To learn more about Tom's work both as a volunteer and an actor/writer/producer (supporting that side of his work also helps support the animals) you can find him on social media @tomkiesche.

    Ep. 138 - Project AnimalAid with Meghan Curtis

    Project AnimalAid is back, this time with Executive Director Meghan Curtis. We get her perspective of the evolution of the organization and the groups they have been able to help over the years. When it comes to product donations I don't always think creatively about how they can be used, but these organizations they donate to are able to find new ways to use things that may be imperfect or nearly expired. We also discuss The Great Paw Walk, their latest fundraiser to help raise money for all of the wonderful work they do to both support animals and the environment.
