Description

Feeling a little blue? The Pitt County Animal Shelter just might have the cure… if you're game enough to let it all hang out!
And it’s National Volunteer Week! We visited with a volunteer in Philly who hasn’t let a pandemic slow down her support for her local shelter. And a conversation with Gina Knepp, former director of the City of Sacramento Animal Shelter and now the Director of Shelter Outreach with Michelson Found Animals, who says trust is what matters the most when working with volunteers.
Guests this week:
Michele Whaley & the https://www.pittcountync.gov/153/Animal-Services (Pitt County Animal Shelter) Dance Crew
Rachel Lawbaugh, Volunteer for http://www.acctphilly.org/ (ACCT Philly)
Gina Knepp, https://www.foundanimals.org/ (Michelson Found Animals Foundation)

An animal welfare professional’s typical day includes unparalleled joy and heart-wrenching despair, often in equal measure. The burnout is real but it’s the hard-won progress that sustains us. The Best Friends Podcast brings you stories from the front lines of lifesaving. You’ll hear from leading experts on topics that impact all of us. These are stories that matter to shelters, rescue groups, and the animal welfare organizations that enable their service to a community and its animals. These are stories for all of us.
