Michelle Sathe is Public Relations Specialist for Best Friends Animal Society, as well as the author of two books, Pit Stops and Pit Stops 2.  Best Friends’ motto is Save Them All with a national goal to end all killing of animals in shelters. They are known for being one of the organizations that took in the Michael Vick pit bulls, as featured in the documentary film, The Champions. During the months of September and October, Best Friends is hosting Strut Your Mutt across the United States. It’s a great way to raise funds for your own animal rescue organization. Best Friends has locations in Salt Lake City and Kanab, Utah, and Los Angeles, California. They are also opening up locations New York City and Georgia soon. Michelle Sathe shares her own journey with animal welfare, in the form of two road trips across the US, to advocate for animal rescue, pit bulls, and to learn a bit about herself.
