Introducing #COVIDAnimalShelterHelp
During this time of crisis, there are so many people who want to help animal shelters and animal welfare organizations, and so many groups in need! But people don’t all know where to look and are turning to social media. What if they don’t follow their local shelter?

The Power of Asking for Help
Hey everyone. You may not know this, but I’m a 16 year veteran of the animal welfare industry.
