Description
Interview! Renee Harris, Founder of PAWS to Success Program at the San Diego Humane Society “If individuals took responsibility for their pets, then there would be no indiscriminate breeding.” Renee Harris has been volunteering and working in animal welfare since the tender age of twelve, and over her 30+ year career she has seen the field change enormously. She pioneered the Paws to Success program at the San Diego Humane Society, which includes the first orphan kitten nursery of its kind. The nursery provides 24-hour care to bottle babies, and the program saves over 3,000 kittens each year! Renee is concerned about the high rates of euthanasia among cats brought into shelters—from her research of San Diego Animal Control’s data, she found that 70% of euthanasia cases were cats who had, in her estimation, fairly treatable conditions. Renee is determined to lower this number, and she wants to start with changing how we socialize and treat feral cats in the shelter. Lastly, she shares with Stacy her ideal plan for her dream cat facility! To get in touch with Renee, you can email her at reneeharris@top2catsconsulting.com.
